Abstract:Pavement runoff could enter the karst aquifer system through sinkholes, karst windows, karst pools in karst areas, which could influence the karst water environment quality. Consequently, it is necessary to study the hydrochemical environment characteristics of pavement runoff in karst areas. Pavement runoff of Yaji, Qingshuiqiao and Baizhujing were sampled, characteristics of hydrochemical compounds and their influencing factors, hydrochemical environment quality were analyzed using multiple statistical method, Nemerow index method and comprehensive pollution index method. External influencing factor has small influences on the common hydrochemical ions, while has great influences on these trace elements. The compounds influencing the water environment of pavement runoff were nutrient compounds ( NH3 -N, TP, CODMn ) , landscape compound ( suspended solids) and metal compounds ( Mn, Hg and TFe) by analyzing the concentrations of hydrochemical compounds of pavement runoff. These compounds have close relationships with pavement behaviors, surrounding vegetations, traffic flow and came from fuel, lube, slop oil, gasoline, worn tyre and vegetations. Four main factors with the cumulative variance contribution rate of 97. 99% were extracted from the monitoring dataset using the factor analysis method. It could be known from the four main factors that carbonates weathering was the main source of hydrochemical compounds of pavement runoff, the second was the particles of atmospheric and pavement influencing the SS of pavement runoff, the third was the human activities including pavement behaviors and protective measures of surrounding vegetations. Hydrochemical environment quality of Qingshuiqiao, Yaji and Baizhujing decreased in turn by using the Nemerow index method and comprehensive pollution index method. Hydrochemical environment quality of Baizhujing were poorest, which had potential risks for the water ecological environment, the pavement runoff could be reused for the surrounding vegetations through reasonable measurements. The results could not only provide scientific instructions for the treatment measures of pavement runoff, but also provide scientific evidences for the reasonable exploitation and utilization of karst water resources.
