Abstract:Potentiality of shallow groundwater resource in Heze Yellow River flood plain areas has been analyzed. By using groundwater exploitation potentiality index method, exploitation degree of groundwater has been analyzed, and its mining potentiality has been determined as well. Shallow groundwater is still in a state of positive equilibrium in this area, and belongs to potentiality exploitation area. In order to keep sustainable utilization of groundwater resources, in accordance with the principle of scientific and reasonable production, repair, change and control, this area can be divided into source increasing area, mining increasing area, water saving area and salt water transformation and utilization area.
