This proposed project focuses on the natural salty/saline springs emerging in the red sandstones-mudstones in the Lanping Basin in Yunnan and in the carbonate rocks in the eastern part of the Sicuan Basin. The theme of the project is on the formation of the salty/saline springs. Special attention is paid to the key scientific problems of the transport of substance and energy in the circulation of groundwater systems. The changes in hydraulic and hydrochemical characteristics in the fromation of the salty/saline springs are taken as the core contents of this work. Hydrogeological field investigation, measurements and sampling, analyses and detection of samples, modeling calculation, theoretical analyses and comparison are proposed to be carried out comprehensively in this study. The geological, hydraulic and hydrochemincal conditions affecting the occurrence, emergence and formation of the salty/saline springs are examined in detail. Data of physical and chemical characteristices of the salty/saline springs in rainy seasons and dry seasons are obtained. The water circulation modes and hydrochemical modes for the formation of the salty/saline springs are established. The formation patterns of the salty/saline springs are also put forward. The research results are helpful in describing the features of water circulation and hydrchemical characteristics in the groundwater systems of the salty/saline springs, revealing the formation mechanisms of the special natural products such as the salty/saline springs, enunciating the form and law of transport of substance and energy in water circulation in a continental environment. The results are also of important scientific significance in enriching the theory of groundwater circulation and water-rock interactions and the related research methods.
