『Abstract
MODFLOW is a groundwater modeling program. It can be compiled
and remedied according to the practical applications. Because
of its structure and fixed data format, MODFLOW can be integrated
with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology for water
resource management. The North China Plain (NCP), which is the
politic, economic and cultural center of China, is facing with
water resources shortage and water pollution. Groundwater is the
main water resource for industrial, agricultural and domestic
usage. It is necessary to evaluate the groundwater resources of
the NCP as an entire aquifer system. With the development of computer
and internet information technology it is also necessary to integrate
the groundwater model with the GIS technology. Because the geological
and hydrogeological data in the NCP was mainly in MAPGIS format,
the powerful function of GIS of disposing of and analyzing spatial
data and computer languages such as Visual C and Visual Basic
were used to define the relationship between the original data
and model data. After analyzing the geological and hydrogeological
conditions of the NCP, the groundwater flow numerical simulation
modeling was constructed with MODFLOW. On the basis of GIS, a
dynamic evaluation system for groundwater resources under the
internet circumstance was completed. During the process of constructing
the groundwater model, a water budget was analyzed, which showed
a negative budget in the NCP. The simulation period was from 1
January 2002 to 31 December 2003. During this period, the total
recharge of the groundwater system was 49,374×106 m3
and the total discharge was 56,530×106 m3
the budget deficit was -7,156×106 m3. In
this integrated system, the original data including graphs and
attribution data could be stored in the database. When the process
of evaluating and predicting groundwater flow was started, these
data were transformed into files that the core program of MODFLOW
could read. The calculated water level and drawdown could be displayed
and reviewed online.
