Analysis of the Groundwater Resource Pollution of Coal-Fired Power Plants and Its Impact on Geotechnical Engineering Properties by Numerical Simulation Technology

Abstract

Objective: The objective is to investigate the impact of groundwater resource pollution of coal-fired power plants and its impact on the properties of geotechnical engineering based on numerical simulation technology, thereby proving the effectiveness and superiority of numerical simulation technology in preventing groundwater resource pollution and forecasting the related information, which would provide direction and guidance for the treatment and management of groundwater resource pollution. Method: First, the regions to be investigated are divided and generalized. Then, relevant experiments are carried out for the calculations of hydrogeological parameters to establish the hydrogeological conceptual model. Next, the real-time water level data recorded by the observations are used to identify and verify the model effectively. Afterward, the numerical simulation of groundwater solute transportation is carried out again. During the process, the establishment of the groundwater quality model is the focus, followed by the application of numerical simulation technology to forecast the environmental impacts of groundwater pollution, including the forecasting of groundwater environmental pollutions caused by Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) leakage, ash yard, and power plants. Results: Through the application of numerical simulation technology, the current information about groundwater pollution, such as the scope of impact and the movement law of pollution, can be understood clearly and timely. Conclusion: By applying the numerical simulation technology in forecasting groundwater pollution, the groundwater pollution problems can be prevented effectively, which offers great help to the correct and reasonable operation and development of coal-fired power plants, which provides a significant reference for the preventive treatment of groundwater pollution.
