Abstract

Abstract

Objective
To establish a series of hydrogeological parameter for karst areas in North China, an on-site experimental study on water balance has been carried out since the 1980s in a closed spring-drainage karst water system in Yangzhuang, Shandong Province.
Methods
Based on long-term field observations of water balance elements spanning more than 40 years, the formulas for calculating precipitation infiltration recharge coefficients in bare, semi-covered and covered karst areas were derived. The correlation equations of the precipitation infiltration recharge coefficient α with precipitation P and water table depth D, as well as the series of adjustable maximum precipitation infiltration recharge coefficients in karst areas, were also established. The processes of precipitation infiltration and recharge and the mechanism of α change were explored.
Results
The results showed that α varied with D. Each rainfall segment P corresponded to a maximum precipitation infiltration recharge coefficient α_max and a maximum precipitation infiltration recharge volume, namely, the recharge limit G_max, while the corresponding depth of water table was the optimal depth of water table D_critical. When D was greater than D_critical, the interception of the vadose zone increased with increasing water table depth and α was less than α_max.When D was less than D_critical, the surface runoff increased with decreasing water table depth and α was less than α_max. Different rainfall segments corresponded to different D_critical, and the corresponding α_max and D_critical increased with increasing precipitation. At any water table depth, G_max was constant and equal to the difference between the critical rainfall of saturation excess runoff and the maximum interception volume of vadose zone.
Conclusion
This study addressed the key scientific issues related to precipitation infiltration recharge in karst areas and improved the research level of karst water resources in North China.
