Numerical geofiltration model of underground water of the Vilia – Gozovka interfluve (Republic of Belarus)
Abstract
A numerical geofiltration model (NGFM) of underground water in the area bounded by the Vilia, Oshmyanka, Losha and Gozovka rivers has been developed. The nuclear power complex of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant (Belarusian NPP) is located in the centre of the modelled area. The model reproduces the groundwater, Dnieper-Sozh, Berezina-Dnieper, Brinevsky, and Silurian-Devonian aquifers, as well as their separating low-permeability layers, relief, and river network. The NGFM of the object is implemented based on ModTech software by Geolink (Moscow). The created model simulates the filtration of underground water in stationary setting. Based on the simulation results, natural water resources are evaluated with their breakdown into underground water runoff into rivers and groundwater discharge through evaporation. The structure of the water balance of underground and surface waters is established, and the maps of the intensity of groundwater infiltration feeding and water exchange between the Dnieper-Sozh and groundwater aquifers are constructed. The created NGFM serves as geofiltration basis for numerical modelling of groundwater migration in the area of Belarusian NPP.
