Abstract:Based on regional hydrogeological survey with the scale of 1∶50000 in Xinwen basin, by means of hydrogeological survey, geophysical exploration and hydrogeological drilling, main water bearing rock formation and its hydrogeological characteristics in the area have been identified, and the structure model of groundwater storage has been summarized. It is showed that main water rich formations are Paleogene Zhujiagou formation, Ordovician Majiagou group, Cambrian Sanshanzi formation, Zhangxia formation and Zhushadong formation. The groundwater storage model can be divided into three types: strata water retaining structure, fault water retaining structure and interlayer karst water retaining structure. According to the lithology of aquifer, the fracture type water storage structure can be divided into fracture type limestone conglomerate fracture karst water storage structure, fracture fracture zone fracture karst water storage structure and fracture fracture zone fracture karst water storage structure.
