VI. MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF KYZYLZHARMINSKI DEPOSIT OF GROUNDWATERS FROM SYRDARYINSKI ARTESIAN BASIN FOR WATER SUPPLY OF THE CITY OF KYZYLORDA

1. Creation of mathematical model of hydrogeological conditions of Kyzylzharminski deposit of groundwaters

1.1 Aims of modeling

As the aim of modeling is economical-potable water supply for the city of Kyzylorda. It has been necessary for this aim to forecast on the model the water levels (levels depressions) and the mineralization of the water taken from existing and projecting water intaking wells for the final data of their exploitation.

Report of A.G.Satpaev, Director of the Institute of hydrogeology and geoecology named of U.M.Akhmedsafin has been dedicated to the problems of quality potable water for the city of Kyzylorda. It was published at the new-paper “Kazakhstanskaya Pravda” on March, 2011 (in Russian).

1.2 Hydrogeological conditions schematization

Models systems structure and regional model layers correlation of Eastern Priaralye and those of local model of Kyzylzharminski deposit of groundwaters

Groundwaters on investigable territory are confined to the Quaternary, Neogenic and Cretaceous deposits. Groundwaters of Quaternary and Neogenic deposits are subjected to pollution and cannot be safe source of economical potable water supply for the city of Kyzylorda. They are divided from occurring below Cretaceous clays by thick cover of water-resisting Paleogene clays; the overflowing through which is practically absent and it cannot be taken in consideration.

Cretaceous aquifers and aquiferous complexes are divided among themselves by weakly-permeable clayish deposits, through which the groundwaters overflow is possible. The Upper-Turonian aquifer is the most perspective for utilization. Influence of existing and projected operating wells onto groundwaters state has been taken into consideration during modeling.

Programming complex GMS 6.0 has been used for modeling.

Mathematical model of Kyzylzharminski groundwaters deposit was been creating as the local model incoming together with regional model of Eastern Priaralye, into the system of inter connected variously scaled mathematical models.

Hydrogeological conditions in plan have been schematized in the form of rectangular region with size of 61.3 x 50 km, in the centre of which are situated existing and projected wells exploiting groundwaters of Upper-Turonian aquifer of Kyzylzharminski deposit. The region modeled in plan is approximated by orthogonal grid with size MxN = 143x122, the step of which is changing from 250 m in central part and to 750 m as of periphery of the model. Configuration of the grid and its position in space was selected by such a way that at the corners of model and in the separate points through its outer border the nodes of the grid were coinciding with nodes of the grid at the regional model of Eastern Priaralye.

During hydrogeological conditions schematization in section it has been taken into consideration that one of the aims of modeling was groundwaters quality change forecast. Therefore it has been taken the decision concerning of the three- dimensional model preparation. The section is schematized in the form of five head water permeable layers divided by three weakly permeable layers. One block was corresponding to each permeable layer on the model in section, and to each weakly permeable layer – three blocks.

Water intaking wells were assigned on the model as discharges changing in time.

* Layer ¹ 1 of the model corresponds to impermeable Paleogene clays

During solution of reverse stationary task as of outer boundaries of all the aquifers and aquiferous complexes, boundary conditions of the first order (changing in time head) were assigned. During solution of epignostic and prognostic tasks as of the borders of Maastrichtian aquifer, constant in time groundwaters flow discharge has been assigned which has been calculated from the results of stationary task solution. Boundary conditions of the first order have been assigned in outer borders of all the other aquifers and aquiferous complexes.

Absolute marks of the levels, assignable through outer borders of the first order were calculated with taking into consideration of levels depressions, calculated in the corresponding blocks of regional model of Eastern Priaralye.
