Characterization of humic substances in groundwater are usually carried out using isolated humic substances from large volume of groundwater. However, the isolation process expends much time and effect, and such method is not available if the volume of groundwater collected is small. In this study, convenient characterization methods available to small volume of samples (3D-fluorescense analysis, Gel permeation chromatography and ion chromatography) were applied to groundwater and surface water in the Horonobe area, Hokkaido, to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) including humic substances. 3D-fluorescense spectrum obtained from small volume of groundwater was similar to those from isolated humic substances, and showed little variation with depth. However, the peak position of spectrum for surface water was different from those for groundwater. Gel permeation chromatography showed that DOM in groundwater mainly consists of humic substances with molecule weight of approximately 1,200
2,000 Da, and that the molecule weight decreases with depth. These results were consistent with the characteristics of isolated humic substances. Ion chromatography revealed that low molecule weight organic matter was minor component of DOM in the groundwater, which was consistent with the result of gel permeation chromatography. These results indicate that the methods applied in this study are useful for convenient characterization of DOM in groundwater.

Simple characterization methods available to small volume of samples were applied to groundwater and surface water in the Horonobe area, Hokkaido, to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) including humic substances. The results indicate that the methods applied in this study are useful for the characterization of DOM in groundwater using a small sample volume.
