摘要
Structural control on groundwater distribution and flow in the south of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,China was investigated and analyzed.Intensive geological movement in geological history has resulted in a complex tectonic structure,and a complex distribution and flow pattern of groundwater.Based on the hydrogeological investigation,4 types of water bearing structure(WBS) were discovered:Porous WBS,Fissure WBS,Karst WBS and Fissure-porous WBS.These WBSs and their combinations provided the varied storage spaces and flowing channels for groundwater in SNHAR.
