摘要
Hydrogeological map is one of the important carriers of groundwater related information.It directly reflects the hydrogeological conditions and previous investigation and research results of a mapping area.The hydrogeological map of China is a map reflecting the characteristics of hydrogeology and groundwater dynamics on a national scale.On the basis of the hydrogeological map of China(1:4000000)compiled in 1988,this map compilation attempted to update and enhance the existing map,with the latest survey results from the project of National Investigation and Evaluation of Groundwater Resources and Environmental Problems led by China Geological Survey.Task of the mapping program included redefining groundwater types,quantifying the classification standard of the groundwater and adding the pore-fissure water in laterite layer of hilly basin.The multilayer structures for porous,karst and porous-fractured groundwater and their water-rich grades are reflected on the map.Based on the comprehensive summary of the latest hydrogeological data of China,this research conducts an in-depth analysis of the regional distribution characteristics of groundwater in China,utilizes a digital mapping process and establishes a cartographic database for the purpose of further use.With the enrichment of the content and the continuous improvement of cognitive level,mapping content can be updated quickly,which has practical significance for the concept of surveying and mapping and scientific popularization.
