Abstract

A three dimensional finite element model (FEFLOW) has been used for regional ground water flow modeling of Mihuaishun plain located in the south of Beijing, China. The numerical groundwater flow model is developed considering recharge components (precipitation infiltration, river leakage, and irrigation return flow). GIS interface is created for each source of recharge. Hydraulic conductivities and storage coefficient have been calibrated by the steady state model using the recorded data from 2007 to 2009. The model results is useful to identify the aquifer characteristics and to analyze the groundwater dynamics. The groundwater level monitoring network will be improved by analyzing groundwater levels. The future development scenarios are proposed to predict the trend changes of groundwater levels.
