With the rapid growth
of population and economy, the demand for
groundwater resources is also increasing, leading to the exploitation
of groundwater in some areas far greater than the recharge, which
easily causes a series of environmental geological problems such as
groundwater drawdown, water quality deterioration, surface subsidence,
and so on. Taking Shouguang water resource in Weifang City, Shandong
Province, China, as an example, the water-bearing formation in the
study area can be divided into three types: pore water-bearing formation
of unconsolidated sediments, karst fissure water-bearing formation
of carbonate rock, and bedrock fissure water-bearing formation. According
to the pumping test results, the groundwater-richness zones in the
study area were delineated first. On this basis, by analyzing the
dynamic changes of groundwater, the study area was divided into 40
blocks, and the natural recharge of groundwater in each block was
calculated by the analogy method of the infiltration coefficient of
precipitation. Then, combined with the actual situation of the study
area, the allowable withdrawal of groundwater resources, mainly including
pore water-bearing formation of unconsolidated sediments, karst fissure
water-bearing formation of carbonate rock, and bedrock fissure water-bearing
formation, was calculated using the safe yield modulus method, the
improved method of the uniform arrangement of wells, and temporary
storage capacity, respectively. Through the calculation, it can be
concluded that the total allowable withdrawal of shallow groundwater
resources in Shouguang city is 6292.5783 × 10
