Analysis of interaction between lake water and groundwater in beach of Maowusu Lake Basin

Abstract

The interaction between lake water and groundwater is of great significance to the rational development and utilization of water resources. In this paper, based on temperature tracer principle, two methods including of the analytical method and numerical simulation method are used to comprehensively study the interaction between lake water and groundwater with a buried depth of 0-0.4 meters at the lake bed in the beach of Maowusu Lake Basin. In addition, compared with the result by hydrodynamic method. The results show that from May 20 to 28, 2018, the vertical seepage velocity between lake water and groundwater is 2×10-7-1×10-6 m/s, and the seepage velocity at the buried depth is 0.4 m is greater than that at the buried depth of 0.2 m. Precipitation have a certain impact on the results of analytic method, and there is a certain lag in the seepage velocity at the buried depth of 0.4 m. Without less rainfall interference, the results of numerical method and hydrodynamic method are of good agreement, furthermore the results of the three methods are in the same order of magnitude. At the same time, the volume heat capacity and porosity of lake bed sediments have great influence on the results. In the study of interaction between lake water and groundwater in semi-arid areas, numerical simulation is much better choice when the monitoring data are collected completely.
