Abstract:

Deep soil recharge (DSR) is an important indicator of the connectivity between surface water and groundwater in sandy land. In order to analyze the characteristics of DSR in different sandy land with different precipitation gradients, this study used a newly designed Lysimeter to monitor the amount of DSR in 0-200 cm depth soil layer by the annual precipitation of mobile dunes in real time. The results of the study showed that the annual precipitation amount in the Hunshandake Sandy Land from 2017 to 2019 was 229.9±45.6 mm, the average annual leakage was 8.2±7.4 mm, and the annual DSR accounted for 3.1%±2.3% of the annual precipitation. The average annual precipitation in Mu Us Sandy Land from 2013 to 2015 was 328.1±61.1 mm, the average annual DSR was 64.1±58.3 mm, and the annual DSR accounted for 17.0%±13.7% of the annual precipitation in the same period. The DSR of the mobile sandy dunes in the Hunshandake Sandy Land was mainly due to the continuous but small amount of precipitation recharge. Among the precipitation events, the daily recharge amount of less than 0.25 mm of DSR was more frequent. On the contrary, the daily recharge amount of more than 0.25 mm of DSR was more frequent in the Mu Us sandy land. When the precipitation was small, the DSR was mainly continuous, long-term, but small amount. Large precipitation amount or continuous small precipitation events not only significantly increased the amount of DSR, but also made the delay time of DSR shorter, and the fluctuation frequency of precipitation fluctuation was consistent with the fluctuation frequency of DSR.
