The mathematical model of unsteady well flow is a boundary value problem ofparabolic differential equation. It is changed into an elliptic one by Laplace transform to eliminate time varia-ble. The image function of water head H can be solved by BEM. We derived the boundary integral equation ofthe transformed variable H and the discretization form of it, so that there is no need to discretize the bounda-ries of well walls and it becomes easier to solve the groundwater head H by numerical inversion.展开更多

A finite difference method was applied to simulating groundwater flow near a partially penetrating river under riverside pumping, and to analyzing the effects of river width, partial penetration and permeability of riverbed sediments on groundwater recharges. Results show that riverside pumping may cause groundwater to flow beneath the partially penetrating river, and that river width, penetration and riverbed permeability obviously influence flows from the partially penetrating river and constant-head boundaries. However, the pumping output is mainly from the partially penetrating river.展开更多

Mining-related activities have become a threat to potable water supply in the area. This paper is an attempt to show the extent of this threat and in particular, investigate the regional groundwater occurrence and flow pattem based on GPS, water well and geological data. This basin- wide model can be used for further groundwater assess- ment, pollution control and contaminant management. Groundwater occurs between 2.4 and 9 m in the Lekwesi- Lokpaukwu area; 1.5-3.7 m in the Ndi-Ugbugbor-Ayaragu axis and 1.2-4.6 m in the Ishiagu area. Recharge areas include the Leru-Amaubiri-Lekwesi sandstone hills and the Ihetutu-Ugwuajirija mine field. While the ultimate sink of contamiants is the Ivo River system, other discharge axis is the Ishiagu-Ayaragu axis and the Ogwor Ndi- Ugbugbor zone. An unconfined and a confined （〉 10） circulation groundwater system was inferred, and flow model reveals that a large part of Ishiag-Ayaragu and Ndi- Ugbugbor part of the study area suffer polluted recharge from the Pb/Zn mining area. Groundwater was also subjected to hierarchical cluster analysis and the existence of 3-4 hydrological regimes, which revealed： Unpolluted recharge areas, areas affected by polluted recharge, a deep water and shallow water circulation and mine effluents.展开更多
