Hydrogeophysical methods for characterization and monitoring of surface water-groundwater interactions

Hydrogeophysical methods can be used to cost-effectively locate and characterize regions of enhanced groundwater/surface-water exchange (GWSWE) and to guide effective follow up investigations based on more traditional invasive methods. The most established methods exploit the contrasts in temperature and/or specific conductance that commonly exist between groundwater and surface water.

Introduction

Discharges of contaminated groundwater to surface water bodies threaten ecosystems and degrade the quality of surface water resources. Subsurface heterogeneity associated with the geological setting and stratigraphy often results in such discharges occurring as localized zones (or seeps) of contaminated groundwater. Traditional methods for investigating GWSWE include seepage meters[1][2], which directly quantify the volume flux crossing the bed of a surface water body (i.e, a lake, river or wetland) and point probes that locally measure key water quality parameters (e.g., temperature, pore water velocity, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH). Seepage meters provide direct estimates of seepage fluxes between groundwater and surface- water but are time consuming and can be difficult to deploy in high energy surface water environments and along armored bed sediments. Manual seepage meters rely on quantifying volume changes in a bag of water that is hydraulically connected to the bed. Although automated seepage meters such as the Ultraseep system have been developed, they are generally not suitable for long term deployment (weeks to months). The US Navy has developed the Trident probe for more rapid (relative to seepage meters) sampling, whereby the probe is inserted into the bed and point-in-time pore water quality and sediment parameters are directly recorded (note that the Trident probe does not measure a seepage flux). Such direct probe-based measurements are still relatively time consuming to acquire, particularly when reconnaissance information is required over large areas to determine the location of discrete seeps for further, more quantitative analysis.

Over the last few decades, a broader toolbox of hydrogeophysical technologies has been developed to rapidly and non-invasively evaluate zones of GWSWE in a variety of surface water settings, spanning from freshwater bodies to saline coastal environments. Many of these technologies are currently being deployed under a Department of Defense Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) project (ER21-5237) to demonstrate the value of the toolbox to remedial program managers (RPMs) dealing with the challenge of characterizing surface water contamination via groundwater from facilities proximal to surface water bodies. This article summarizes these technologies and provides references to key resources, mostly provided by the Water Resources Mission Area of the United States Geological Survey that describe the technologies in further detail.

Hydrogeophysical Technologies for Understanding Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions

Hydrogeophysical technologies exploit contrasts in the physical properties between groundwater and surface water to detect and monitor zones of pronounced GWSWE. The two most valuable properties to measure are temperature and electrical conductivity. Temperature has been used for decades as an indicator of groundwater-surface water exchange[3] with early uses including pushing a thermistor into the bed of a surface water body to assess zones of surface water downwelling and groundwater upwelling. Today, a variety of novel technologies that measure temperature over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales are being used to investigate GWSWE. The evaluation of electrical conductivity measurements using point probes and geophysical imaging is also well-established. However, new technologies are now available to exploit electrical conductivity contrasts from GWSWE occurring over a range of spatial and temporal scales.

Temperature-Based Technologies

Several temperature-based GWSWE methodologies exploit the gradient in temperature between surface water and groundwater that exist during certain times of day or seasons of the year. The thermal insulation provided by the Earth’s land surface means that groundwater is warmer than surface water in winter months, but colder than surface water in summer months away from the equator. Therefore, in temperate climates, localized (or ‘preferential’) groundwater discharge into surface water bodies is often observed as cold temperature anomalies in the summer and warm temperature anomalies in the winter. However, there are times of the year such as fall and spring when contrasts in the temperature between groundwater and surface water will be minimal, or even undetectable. These seasonal-driven points in time correspond to the switch in the polarity of the temperature contrast between groundwater and surface water. Consequently, SW to GW gradient temperature-based methods are most effective when deployed at times of the year when the temperature contrasts between groundwater and surface water are greatest. Other time-series temperature monitoring methods depend more on natural daily signals measured at the bed interface and in bed sediments, and those signals may exist year round except where strongly muted by ice cover or surface water stratification. A variety of sensing technologies now exist within the GWSWE toolbox, from techniques that rapidly characterize temperature contrasts over large areas, down to powerful monitoring methods that can continuously quantify GWSWE fluxes at discrete locations identified as hotspots.

Characterization Methods

The primary use of the characterization methods is to rapidly determine precise locations of groundwater upwelling over large areas in order to pinpoint locations for subsequent ground-based observations. A common limitation of these methods is that they can only sense groundwater fluxes into surface water. Methods applied at the water surface and in the surface water column generally cannot detect localized regions of surface water transfer to groundwater, for which temperature measurements collected within the bed sediments are needed. This is a more challenging characterization task that may, in the right conditions, be addressed using electrical conductivity-based methods described later in this article.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Infrared (UAV-IR)

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with thermal infrared (IR) cameras can provide a very powerful tool for rapidly determining zones of pronounced upwelling of groundwater to surface water. Large areas of can be covered with high spatial resolution. The information obtained can be used to rapidly define locations of focused groundwater upwelling and prioritize these for more intensive surface-based observations (Figure 1). As with all thermal methods, flights must be performed when adequate contrasts in temperature between surface water and groundwater are expected to exist. Not just time of year but, because of the effect of the diurnal temperature signal on surface water bodies, time of day might need to be considered in order to maximize the chance of success. Calibration of UAV-IR camera measurements against simultaneously acquired direct measurements of temperature is recommended to optimize the value of these datasets. UAV-IR methods will not work in all situations. One major limitation of the technology is that the temperature expression of groundwater upwelling must be manifested at the surface of the surface water body. Consequently, the technology will not detect relatively small discharges occurring beneath a relatively deep surface water layer, and thermal imaging over the water surface can be complicated by thermal IR reflection. The chances of success with UAV-IR will be strongest in regions of exposed banks or shallow water where there are no strong currents causing mixing (and thus dilution) of the upwelling groundwater temperature signals. UAV-IR methods will therefore likely be most successful close to shorelines of lakes/ponds, over shallow, low flow streams and rivers and in wetland environments. UAV-IR methods require a licensed pilot, and restrictions on the use of airspace may limit the application of this technology.

Handheld Thermal Infrared (TIR) Cameras

Hand-held thermal infrared (TIR) cameras are powerful tools for visual identification of localized seeps of upwelling groundwater. TIR cameras may be used to follow up on UAV-IR surveys to better characterize local seeps identified from the air using UAV-IR. Alternatively, a TIR camera is a valuable tool when performing initial walks of prospective study sites as they may quickly confirm the presence of suspected seeps. TIR cameras provide high resolution images that can define the structure of localized seeps and may provide valuable insights into the role of discrete features (e.g., fractures in rocks or pipes in soil) in determining seep morphology (Figure 2). Like UAV-IR, TIR provides primarily qualitative information (location, extent) of seeps and it only succeeds when there are adequate contrasts between groundwater and surface water that are expressed at the surface of the investigated water body or along bank sediments. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has made extensive use of TIR cameras for studying groundwater/surface-water exchange.

Continuous Near-bed Temperature Sensing

When performing surveys from a boat a simple yet often powerful technology is continuous near-bed temperature sensing, whereby a temperature probe is strategically suspended to float in the water column just above the bed or dragged along it. Compared to UAV-IR, this approach does not rely on upwelling groundwater being expressed as a temperature anomaly at the surface. The utility of the method can be enhanced when a specific conductance probe is co- located with the temperature probe so that anomalies in both temperature and specific conductance can be investigated.

Monitoring Methods

Monitoring methods allow temperature signals to be recorded with high temporal resolution along the bed interface or within bank or bed sediments. These methods can capture temporal trends in GWSWE driven by variations in the hydraulic gradients around surface water bodies, as well as changes in hydraulic conductivity due to sedimentation, clogging, scour or microbial mass. If vertical profiles of bed temperature are collected, a range of analytical and numerical models can be applied to infer the vertical water flux rate and direction, similar to a seepage meter. These fluxes may vary as a function of season, rainfall events (enhanced during storm activity), tidal variability in coastal settings and due to engineered controls such as dam discharges. The methods can capture evidence of GWSWE that may not be detected during a single ‘characterization’ survey if the local hydraulic conditions at that point in time result in relatively weak hydraulic gradients.

Fiber-optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (FO-DTS)

Data are shown for winter and summer. Orange contours show uranium concentrations (μg/L) in groundwater measured in boreholes.

Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) is a powerful monitoring technology used in fire detection, industrial process monitoring, and petroleum reservoir monitoring. The method is also used to obtain spatially rich datasets for monitoring GWSWE[9][10]. The sensor consists of standard telecommunications fiber-optic fiber typically housed in armored cable and the physics is based on temperature-dependent backscatter mechanisms including Brillouin and Raman backscatter[9]. Most commercially available systems are based on analysis of Raman scatter. As laser light is transmitted down the fiber-optic cable, light scatters continuously back toward the instrument from all along the fiber, with some of the scattered light at frequencies above and below the frequency of incident light, i.e., anti-Stokes and Stokes-Raman backscatter, respectively. The ratio of anti-Stokes to Stokes energy provides the basis for FO-DTS measurements. Measurements are localized to a section of cable according to a time-of-flight calculation (i.e., optical time-domain reflectometry). Assuming the speed of light within the fiber is constant, scatter collected over a specific time window corresponds to a specific spatial interval of the fiber. Although there are tradeoffs between spatial resolution, thermal precision, and sampling time, in practice it is possible to achieve sub meter-scale spatial and approximate 0.1°C thermal precision for measurement cycle times on the order of minutes and cables extending several kilometers[10]; thus, thousands of temperature measurements can be made simultaneously along a single cable. The method allows the visualization of a large amount of temperature data and rapid identification of major trends in GWSWE. Figure 3 illustrates the use of FO-DTS to detect and monitor zones of focused groundwater discharge along a 1.5 km reach of the Columbia River that is threatened by contaminated groundwater[8]. As temperature is only sensed at the cable on the bed, FO-DTS can only detect groundwater inputs to surface water. It cannot detect losses of surface water to groundwater. The USGS public domain software tool DTSGUI allows a user to import, manage, visualize and analyze FO-DTS datasets.

Vertical temperature profilers (VTPs)

Analysis methods now allow for the accurate quantification of groundwater fluxes over time. Vertical temperature profilers (VTPs) are sensors applied for diurnal temperature data collection within saturated geologic matrices (Figure 4). Extensive experience with VTPs indicates that the methodology is equal to traditional seepage meters in terms of flux accuracy[11]. However, VTPs have the advantage of measuring continuous temporal variations in flux rates while such information is impractical to obtain with traditional seepage meters.

Figure 4. (a) Schematic of different VTP setups including (from left to right) thermistors in a piezometer, thermistors embedded in a solid rod and wrapped FO-DTS cable modified from Irvine et al.[12]; (b) construction of VTPs showing thermistors embedded in rods and subsequent insulation; (c) example dataset plotted in 1DTempPro showing 5 days of streambed temperature at 6 streambed depths[13].

The low-cost design, ease of data collection, and straightforward interpretation of the data using open-source software make VTP sensors increasingly attractive for quantifying flux rates. These sensors typically consist of at least two temperature loggers installed within a steel or plastic pipe filled with foam insulation[12] although the use of loggers installed in well screens or FO-DTS cable wrapped around a piezometer casing (for high vertical resolution data) are also possible (Figure 4a). Loggers are inserted into the insulated housing at different depths, typically starting from one centimeter within the geologic matrix of interest[14]. Temperature loggers usually remain within the first 0.2-meters of the geologic matrix based on the observed limits of diurnal signal influence[15], though zones of strong surface water downwelling may necessitate deeper temperature data collection. Reliability of flux values generated from the temperature signal analysis is dependent in part on the temperature logger precision, VTP placement, sediment heterogeneity, flow direction, flow magnitude[14], and absence of macropore flow. Application of single dimension temperature-based fluid flux models assumes that all flow is vertical and therefore lateral flow within upwelling systems cannot be quantified using VTPs, emphasizing the importance of the VTP installation location over the active area of exchange[14] at shallow depths. Thermal parameters of the geologic matrix where the VTP is installed can be measured using a thermal properties analyzer to record heat capacity and thermal conductivity for later analytical and numerical modeling.

Analytical and numerical solutions, used to solve or estimate the advection-conduction equation within the geologic matrix (bed sediments), continue to evolve to better quantify flux values over time. Analytical solutions to the heat transport equation are used to solve for flux values between sensor pairs from VTP datasets[16][17]. VFLUX is an open-source MATLAB package that allows the user to solve for flux values from a VTP dataset using a variety of analytical solutions[16][17] based on the vertical propagation of diurnal temperature signals. Other emerging ‘spectral’ methods make use of a wide range of natural temperature signals to estimate vertical flux and bed sediment thermal diffusivity[18]. VFLUX analytical solutions are limited by subsurface heterogeneity and diurnal temperature signal strength[14]. 1DTempPro (Figure 4c) provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for numerical solutions to heat transport[19] and does not depend on diurnal signals. Numerical models can produce more accurate flux estimates in the case of complex boundary conditions and abrupt changes in flux rates, but require significant user calibration efforts for longer time series[20]. A hybrid approach between the analytical and numerical solutions, known as tempest1d[20] improves flux modeling with enhanced computational efficiency, resolution of abrupt changes, evaluation of complex boundary conditions, and uncertainty estimations with each step. This new state-space modeling approach uses recursive estimation techniques to automatically estimate highly dynamic vertical flux patterns ranging from sub-daily to seasonal time scales[20].

Electrical Conductivity (EC) Based Technologies

The electrical conductivity (EC)-based technologies exploit contrasts in EC between surface water and groundwater[21]. EC-based technologies are mostly applied as characterization tools, although the opportunity to monitor GWSWE dynamics with one of these technologies does exist. With the exception of specific conductance probes, the technologies measure the bulk EC of sediments, which will often (but not always) reveal evidence of GWSWE.

Electrical conduction (i.e., the transport of charges) in the Earth occurs via the ions dissolved in groundwater, with an additional contribution from ions in the electrical double layer (known as surface conduction)[22]. In relatively fresh surface water environments, groundwater is typically more electrically conductive than surface water due to the higher ion concentrations in groundwater. In these settings, groundwater inputs may be identified as zones of higher bulk EC beneath the bed. In coastal settings where surface water is saline, inputs of relatively fresh groundwater will give rise to zones of lower conductivity. Whereas the temperature-based methods rely on point measurements at the location of the sensor, the EC-based technologies (with the exception of point specific conductance measurements) incorporate inverse modeling to estimate distributions of EC away from the sensors and beneath the bed. Consequently, these technologies may also image losses of surface water to groundwater[23]. Another advantage is that they may provide information on structural controls on zones of focused GWSWE expressed at the surface. However, interpretation of EC patterns from these technologies is inherently uncertain due to the fact that (with the exception of specific conductance probes) the bulk EC of the sediments is measured. Variations in lithology (e.g., porosity, grain size distribution, which determine the strength of surface conduction) can be misinterpreted as variations in the ionic composition of groundwater.

Characterization Methods

Specific Conductance Probes

The simplest EC-based technology is a specific conductance probe, which measures the specific conductance of water between a small pair of metal plates at the end of the sensor probe. Many commercially available water quality sensors have a specific conductance sensor and a temperature sensor integrated into a single probe (they often also measure other water quality parameters, including pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) content). These are direct sensing measurements with a small footprint (the size of the sensor), so this is usually a time-consuming, inefficient method for detecting GWSWE dynamics. Furthermore, the sampling volume of the measurement is small (on the order of a cubic centimeter or less), so the degree to which the spot measurement is representative of larger-scale hydrological exchanges is often uncertain. However, specific conductance sensor remains popular, especially when integrated with a point temperature sensor, such as the Trident Probe.

Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (EM) Sensing Systems

Variations in EC may result from changes in sediment texture that determine the location of focused GWSWE. Dataset acquired under ESTCP project ER21-5237.

Electromagnetic (EM) sensors non-invasively sense the bulk EC of sediments (a function of both fluid composition and lithology as mentioned above) by measuring eddy currents induced in conductors using time varying electric and magnetic fields based on the physics of electromagnetic induction. Modern EM systems can simultaneously image across a range of depths. Frequency domain EM (FDEM) instruments generate a current that varies sinusoidally with time at a fixed frequency that is selected on the basis of desired exploration depth and resolution. State of the art FDEM sensors use a combination of different coil separations and/or frequencies to resolve conductivity structure over a range of depths. These instruments typically provide high-resolution (sub-meter) information on the EC structure in the upper 5 m (approximately, depending on EC) of the subsurface. Measurements are non-invasively and continuously made, meaning that large areas can be quickly surveyed on foot (e.g., along a shoreline) or from a boat in shallow water (1 m or less deep), for example when pulled along a river or stream channel. The method can also be deployed effectively in wetlands (Figure 5). FDEM data are often presented in terms of variations in the raw measurements because apparent EC values do not represent the true EC of the subsurface. However, with the increasing popularity of sensors with combinations of coil separations, the datasets can be inverted to obtain a model of the distribution of the true EC of the subsurface on land or below a water layer. Inversion of FDEM datasets is usually performed as a series of one-dimensional (1D) models, constrained to have a limited variance from each other, to generate a pseudo-2D model of the subsurface. Open-source software, such as EMagPy[24], is freely available to manage, visualize and interpret FDEM datasets.

Time Domain EM Sensing Systems

Time domain EM (TEM) systems transmit a current that is abruptly shut off (reduced to zero), resulting in a transient current flow that propagates (with decaying amplitude) into the earth. The time-decaying voltage recorded in a receiver coil contains information on the EC variation with depth below the instrument. TEM systems specifically designed for waterborne surveys provide investigation depths up to 70 m (again depending on electrical conductivity)[25]. Airborne TEM systems can also be deployed to look at large-scale surface water/groundwater dynamics, for example submarine discharge or saline intrusion along coastlines[26]. Inverse methods are employed to convert the raw measurements obtained along a transect into a distribution of conductivity.

Waterborne Electrical Imaging
Figure 6. Waterborne electrical imaging in a coastal setting with expected zones of upwelling groundwater (a) typical operation with floating electrode cable pulled behind boat (b) inverted 2D cross section of electrical resistivity along the survey path with possible zones of fresh groundwater discharges indicated from relatively high resistivity sediments. Dataset acquired under ESTCP project ER21-5237.

Electrical imaging techniques are based on galvanic (direct) contact between electrodes used to inject currents (and measure voltages) and the subsurface[22]. Relative to EM methods, this can be a disadvantage when surveying on land. However, when making measurements from a water body, the electrodes used to acquire the data can be deployed as a floating array that is pulled behind a vessel. Waterborne electrical imaging relies on acquiring measurements of electrical potential differences between different pairs of electrodes on the array while current is passed between one pair of electrodes[27]. As the array is pulled behind the boat, thousands of measurements are made along a survey transect. Similar to the EM methods, inverse methods are used to process these datasets and generate a 2D image of the variation in the conductivity of the sediments below the bed. Open-source software such as ResIPy support 2D or 3D inversion of waterborne datasets. Figure 6 shows results of a waterborne electrical imaging survey conducted to locate regions where relative fresh (electrically resistive) groundwater is discharging into the near shore environment in a coastal setting. Beneath the saline (low resistivity) water layer, spatial variability in resistivity may partly be related to variations in the pore-filling fluid conductivity, with localized resistive zones possibly indicating upwelling fresh groundwater. However, the variation in resistivity in the sediments below the water layer may reflect variations in lithology. An extension of the electrical imaging method involves collecting induced polarization (IP) data[22] in addition to electrical resistivity data. IP measurements capture the temporary charge storage characteristics of the subsurface, which are strongly controlled by lithology, with finer-grained (e.g. clay rich) sediments being more chargeable than coarser grained sediments. The method can be particularly useful for differentiating between conductivity variations resulting from variations in pore fluid specific conductance and those conductivity variations associated with lithology. For example, based on electrical imaging methods alone (or the EM method alone), it may not be possible to distinguish a zone of high specific conductance groundwater entering into freshwater from a region of relatively finer- grained sediments without additional supporting data (e.g. a core). IP measurements may be able to resolve this ambiguity as the region of finer-grained sediments will be more chargeable than the surrounding areas.

Monitoring Methods

Land-based Electrical Monitoring

There is increasing interest in the use of electrical imaging methods as monitoring systems. Semi-permanent arrays of electrodes can be installed to monitor groundwater/surface water dynamics over periods of days to years. Low-power instrumentation has been developed to specifically address the needs for long-term monitoring, although such instrumentation is not yet commercially available. Consequently, electrical monitoring of groundwater/surface water interactions currently remains in the realm of the research-driven specialist.

Considerations for Using EM and Waterborne Electrical Imaging Methods

The EM and waterborne electrical imaging methods both provide a way to determine variations in bulk electrical conductivity associated with groundwater/surface water interactions. However, each method has some advantages and some disadvantages. One consideration is maneuverability, particularly in shallow water environments. FDEM instruments are the most maneuverable, although they offer only limited investigation depths. Although bigger than the shallow-sensing frequency domain EM systems, TEM systems are still relatively maneuverable on water bodies. Whereas FDEM systems can be operated from a single small vessel, the TEM deployments require the use of pontoons as the transmitter and receiver coils need to be separated 9 m apart. This still equates to good maneuverability compared to waterborne electrical imaging where a floating electrode cable, typically 30-50 m long, is pulled behind a vessel.

In all three methods, variations in the water layer depth and the specific conductance of the water can significantly affect the data, especially in deeper water. Therefore, it is common to continuously record these parameters with an echo sounder and a specific conductance probe suspended in the water layer.

Other Hydrogeophysical Technologies

A number of other hydrogeophysical technologies exist, with proven applications to the characterization of settings where GWSWE occurs. Seismic reflection and refraction methods are used to image the depositional environments along coastlines. Ground penetrating radar has been effectively used to image depositional environments around freshwater lake shorelines, and across streams and rivers. Such information may help to identify depositional features that promote GWSWE but, unlike the temperature- and conductivity-based methods, do not sense changes in physical properties associated with the exchanging water itself.

One promising technique for detecting GWSWE is known as the self-potential (SP) method. This simple to deploy geophysical technique is based on mapping voltage differences caused by natural sources of electric current in the Earth that are generated through a number of coupled flow processes, one being the coupling of pore fluid flow and transport of electric charge. Zones of enhanced seepage within a porous medium can result in a significant ‘streaming potential’ due to charge transport induced by fluid flow. This phenomenon has been effectively used to locate zones of leakage through dams and embankments[28]. Recently, floating SP measurements have been used to define gaining and losing portions of streams and to identify evidence of focused exchange[29]. Although the data acquisition is simple, consisting of a pair of non-polarizing electrodes and a voltmeter, the interpretation of SP measurements requires expert knowledge to filter out confounding contributions to the recorded signals.

Guidelines for Implementing Hydrogeophysical Methods into Groundwater/Surface Water Interaction Studies

A number of factors will affect the success of individual hydrogeophysical methods at a specific site of GWSWE. Depending on site conditions and the objective, some methods may be inappropriate to deploy. For example, temperature-based methods will most likely succeed at times of the year and times of day when contrasts between upwelling groundwater and surface water are greatest. In contrast, it is quite possible that some sites of groundwater/surface water exchange will have an insufficient contrast in the specific conductance of the groundwater versus the surface water to make techniques based on EC measurements effective. A groundwater-surface water method selection tool (GW/SW-MST[30]) has recently been developed to assist practitioners in the informed selection of the methods that will be most effective for a particular site at a particular time. The tool guides the user through a series of questions that consider both the specific conditions at the site and the primary objectives of the investigation. The methods selection tool discusses the application of a number of additional technologies besides those included in this article. The selection tool is recommended as the starting point for any practitioner.

Summary

A number of temperature-based and electrical conductivity-based technologies exist for monitoring GWSWE over a range of spatial scales. Many of these technologies are most powerful when used as reconnaissance tools to rapidly identify probable locations of GWSWE to be verified with a limited campaign of direct sensing measurements (traditionally seepage meters). Vertical temperature profilers (VTPs) offer direct quantification of fluxes at sites identified by the reconnaissance tools, and some studies show that these methods are more reliable than traditional seepage meters. Given the number of sites across the globe where contaminated groundwater is impacting surface water resources, use of these technologies for both characterization and monitoring is expected to become more common.
