Abstract:In order to further identify hydraulic connection between Ji'nan springs and karst groundwater in western suburbs, from the perspective of stratigraphic structure and hydrodynamic field through pumping tests, tracer tests, and Piper trilinear diagrams making, hydraulic connection between the two has been analyzed in this paper. It is showed that there is no abnormality in the groundwater flow field in Liuchangshan—Langmaoshan—Wanling Mountain in western suburbs, and the water level is about the same on both sides with a continuous and gentle isohyaline line. A continuous karst aquifer has been revealed in Huaiyuan Square—No.9 Middle School—No.14 Middle School on the north side of Liuchangshan at a depth of about 350m. There is a hydraulic connection between the urban area and the western suburbs through karst development section of Sanshanzi formation, which is hidden in magmatic rock body. The spring in the urban area and the karst in the western suburbs are of the same hydrochemical type. They two have the same evolutionary environment and close hydraulic connection.
