WATER QUALITY INTERACTIONS greatest proportion of the groundwater that is discharging is coming from the eastern side of the channel. Evidence of this may be the limited extent of the fluoride plume on the west compared to the dominance of the similar water types from the east. All the different water types display a degree of temporal variability, the central profile remaining the most constant. Temporal variations in the plume are significant and are most marked in the changes of fluoride and aluminium concentrations (Figure 7.17 a and b). These vary from a mean of F 35 mgl -1 , Al 8 mgl -1 (summer 2000) to F 180 mgl -1 , Al 32 mgl -1 (summer 2001). A change is not detected in the area of discharge (Figure 7.18 a) which remains between 3.3 and 5.8 m from the riverbank (2 nd and 3 rd sampling points). Geochemical modelling (Tellam, pers. comm) indicates the aluminium to be soluble as a complex with fluoride. The solubility of aluminium is pH dependent and the high concentrations detected in the summer of 2001 are coincident with a decrease in pH to more acidic conditions from ~6.4 to ~5.8. The source of the fluoride may be from the use of hydrofluoric acid or the mineral cryolite (Na3AlF6) as a flux within the metals industry. The aluminium may also be derived from industrial sources or released from the ubiquitous aluminium silicate minerals. The discharge area of the plumes containing sulphate, nitrate and heavy metals show a similar distribution to the aluminium and fluoride. Chloride (Figure 7.18 b) shows an inverse correlation and copper (Figure 7.18 c) a positive correlation with the aluminium. Data collected on the 8/8/01 from the western multilevel profile are presented (Figure 7.19a to f) to illustrate the processes that may alter contaminant concentrations within the groundwater during vertical flow across the groundwater – surface water interface. The groundwater flows into the profile at 1.25 m depth 278
