Abstract
Abstract
The ability to detect groundwater quickly and accurately is critical to the work of drought resistance. However, conventional groundwater detection methods are inefficient and costly. To solve the difficulties of using water in water-deficient areas, the method of rapid groundwater detection based on multidimensional space was presented. First, using satellite remote sensing (RS) technology, factors related to the occurrence of groundwater, such as lithology, structure, and landforms, were obtained. Then, through quantitative inversion of aeromagnetic data, the lithology and structure were improved. Using geographic information system (GIS) as an information analysis platform, the water storage conditions of various lithologies, structures, and landforms were comprehensively studied; and a water-rich target area was delineated. Based on the above-mentioned achievements, the ground geophysical prospecting work was carried out, the optimum well-position determined, and the target area accuracy verified by drilling data. The method integrates many technical means, such as satellite RS, airborne RS, ground physical exploration, and exploration drilling to detect groundwater, incorporating the advantages of each method. Through the preliminary application in the city of Beipiao, China, the well completion rate is 72.73%. High-quality groundwater resources were exploited in this area, proving it to be an effective method for accurately detecting groundwater.
