Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of long-term reconstruction technology of groundwater storage GWS, and in particular to a method and system for long-term reconstruction of groundwater storage GWS at the watershed scale. Background Technology
[0002] Groundwater storage (GWS) is the collective term for unconfined and confined water buried in the voids of underground rock and soil. It is an important component of the water cycle in a watershed and a vital source of replenishment for rivers and lakes in arid and semi-arid regions. Its replenishment accounts for approximately 50% of the total water resource replenishment and is a significant factor affecting the sustainability of regional ecosystems.
[0003] Traditional monitoring methods rely on groundwater wells to record groundwater levels, providing the highest data confidence. However, with the current trend of environmental governance shifting towards watershed management, traditional monitoring methods are limited by spatial distribution and face difficulties in identifying groundwater conditions within watersheds. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method and system for long-term reconstruction of groundwater storage at the watershed scale (GWS), the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0009] S4. Using the short-term groundwater GWS sequence and the portion of the fused long-term meteorological and hydrological data after 2002 as target data and driving data, train the random forest RF sub-model of the long-term groundwater storage reconstruction RF-KF coupled model. The long-term groundwater storage reconstruction RF-KF coupled model includes the random forest RF sub-model and the Kalman filter KF sub-model.
[0010] S5. Input the fused long-term meteorological and hydrological data into the trained random forest (RF) sub-model to obtain the long-term prediction results of groundwater storage (GWS).
[0011] S6. Replace the output of the prediction module of the Kalman filter KF sub-model with the long-term prediction result of the groundwater storage GWS, and use the update module of the Kalman filter KF sub-model to simulate the time dynamics and correct the accumulated error of the long-term prediction to obtain the final long-term reconstruction result of the groundwater storage GWS.
[0012] Optionally, S1 specifically includes:
[0013] S11. Obtain the long-term meteorological and hydrological data through meteorological reanalysis data ERA5 and land data assimilation model GLDAS. The data of ERA5 and GLDAS correspond to each other and both provide precipitation, evapotranspiration, air temperature, surface water storage SWS, and soil water storage SMS at the watershed scale.
[0014] S12. Obtain meteorological station data from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and temperature. ERA5 and GLDAS data often differ from the meteorological station data. Use the meteorological station data to fuse and calibrate the ERA5 and GLDAS data. This fusion calibration uses a Bayesian linear fusion algorithm, targeting a specific meteorological station, and fuses and calibrates the ERA5 and GLDAS data for its corresponding location. The formula is as follows:
[0015] y fused-1 =α·y ERA5 +(1-α)·y GLDAS +∈1
[0016] Where y fused-1 To fuse the calibrated data, and y ERA5 and y GLDAS For the corresponding ERA5 and GLDAS data, both are unified to a spatial resolution of 0.1°, consistent with the ERA5 raster size. Through optimization of coefficient α and residual ∈1, the root mean square error (RMSE) between the fused and calibrated data and the meteorological station data is minimized.
[0017] Optionally, S2 specifically includes:
[0018] S21. The Total Land Storage (TWS) data for 2002-2023 was obtained using the GRACE satellite mission launched in 2002. GRACE Level 3 remote sensing product data from JPL, GSFC, and CSR were used, with a spatial resolution of 3°.
[0019] S22. Obtain at least one year's worth of TWS measured values through sampling or by obtaining them from officially published water resources statistical yearbooks. Use the TWS measured values to perform fusion calibration on the Level 3 remote sensing product data. The fusion calibration uses a Bayesian linear fusion algorithm, and its formula is as follows:
[0020] y fused-tws =α1y GSFC +α2y CSR +α3y JPL +∈2
[0021] Where y fused-tws To fuse the calibrated data, α i The coefficient is y, the sum is 1, and y GSFC ,y CSR ,y JPL All data are remote sensing product data, ∈2 represents the residuals, and the coefficient α is used to calculate the residuals. i The optimization of residuals ∈2 minimizes the root mean square error (RMSE) between the fused calibrated data and the TWS measured values.
[0022] Optionally, S3 specifically includes:
[0023] The short-term groundwater GWS sequence of the watershed is estimated by subtracting the known changes in SWS and SMS from the changes in TWS using the watershed-scale water balance equation: ΔGWS = ΔTWS - ΔSWS - ΔSMS. The GWS data for a certain year is obtained by calibration using local water resources bulletins for that year.
[0024] Optionally, the Random Forest (RF) sub-model aggregates multiple decision trees to capture the complex nonlinear relationship between meteorological and hydrological elements and GWS fluctuations, as shown in the following formula:
[0025]
[0026] Where f(R) is the long-term prediction result of the groundwater storage GWS, and T i (x) is the result predicted by the decision tree, and N is the number of decision trees.
[0027] Optionally, the Kalman filter KF sub-model uses an improved Kalman filter algorithm for data reconstruction;
[0028] The original Kalman filter algorithm operates within a state-space framework, continuously improving predictions by merging new observations and dynamically adjusting weights through the state covariance matrix. It estimates the system state by combining model predictions with observed data. The prediction steps of the prediction module are as follows:

[0031] The update module optimizes the prediction results based on the observed data:
[0032] f(K) = X k +K k (z k -X k )
[0033]
[0034] K k =P k (P k +R k ) -1
[0035] Where z k It is the observed value of groundwater storage; K k It is the Kalman gain; R k and Q k All of these are model noise;
[0036] The improved Kalman filter algorithm uses the prediction results of the random forest (RF) sub-model to replace the output of the prediction module in the original Kalman filter, and uses an update module to simulate time dynamics and correct for long-term prediction accumulated errors. The equations are as follows:
[0037] f'(R,K) after2002 =f(R)+K k (z k -f(R))
[0038] f'(R,K) before2002 =f(R)+K k总 (z k总 -f(R) 总 )
[0039] Where f'(R,K) after2002 This is the result of GWS reconstruction of groundwater storage after 2002, f'(R,K) before2002 This is a long-term reconstruction of groundwater storage using the GWS model prior to 2002. f(R) is the prediction result from the Random Forest (RF) sub-model, replacing the original Kalman filter prediction result X. k ;z kThis refers to the actual observed groundwater storage for a specific year (k) after 2002 that needs to be predicted; z k总 This represents the total observed values from one year after the year k that needs to be predicted, up to the final year, before 2002. For each year after 2002, the actual observed groundwater storage for that year is used. For each year before 2002, the reconstructed values from the Kalman filter KF sub-model are used as the observed values for that year. These observed values are summed to form z. k总 ;K k It is the Kalman gain, and its value is related to the prediction error F of the random forest. k It shows a negative correlation; for data after 2002, F... k F represents the error between the random forest prediction and the actual short-term groundwater observation for year k. For data prior to 2002, F k总 K represents the total error from year k to the final year; k总 With F k总 Showing a negative correlation, through and K k =P k (P k +R k ) -1 Calculated.
[0040] On the other hand, a watershed-scale groundwater storage GWS long-term reconstruction system is provided, the system comprising:
[0041] The first acquisition and fusion calibration module is used to acquire and fuse long-term meteorological and hydrological data from 1960 to 2023. The long-term meteorological and hydrological data includes precipitation, evapotranspiration, air temperature, surface water storage (SWS), and soil water storage (SMS) at the watershed scale.
[0042] The second acquisition and fusion calibration module is used to acquire and fuse the short-term total terrestrial water storage (TWS) data after 2002.

[0059] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0060] This invention provides a method for long-term reconstruction of groundwater storage at the watershed scale (GWS). This method can be implemented by an electronic device, which can be a terminal or a server. Figure 1 The flowchart of this method is shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram shows the overall block diagram and detailed block diagram of the method. The processing flow may include the following steps:
[0061] S1. Acquire and fuse long-term meteorological and hydrological data from 1960 to 2023, including: precipitation, evapotranspiration, air temperature, surface water storage (SWS), and soil water storage (SMS) at the watershed scale.
[0062] Optionally, S1 specifically includes:
[0063] S11. Obtain the long-term meteorological and hydrological data through meteorological reanalysis data ERA5 and land data assimilation model GLDAS. The data of ERA5 and GLDAS correspond to each other and both provide precipitation, evapotranspiration, temperature, surface water storage (SWS), and soil water storage (SMS) at the watershed scale.
[0064] S12. Obtain meteorological station data from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and temperature. ERA5 and GLDAS data often differ from the meteorological station data. Use the meteorological station data to fuse and calibrate the ERA5 and GLDAS data. This fusion calibration uses a Bayesian linear fusion algorithm, targeting a specific meteorological station, and fuses and calibrates the ERA5 and GLDAS data for its corresponding location. The formula is as follows:
[0065] y fused-1 =α·y ERA5 +(1-α)·y GLDAS +∈1
[0066] Where y fused-1 To fuse the calibrated data, and y ERA5 and y GLDAS For the corresponding ERA5 and GLDAS data, both are unified to a spatial resolution of 0.1°, consistent with the ERA5 raster size. Through optimization of coefficient α and residual ∈1, the root mean square error (RMSE) between the fused and calibrated data and the meteorological station data is minimized.
[0067] S2. Acquire and fuse calibrated short-term total terrestrial water storage (TWS) since 2002;
[0068] Optionally, S2 specifically includes:
[0069] S21. The Total Land Storage (TWS) data for 2002-2023 was obtained using the GRACE satellite mission launched in 2002. GRACE Level 3 remote sensing product data from JPL, GSFC, and CSR were used, with a spatial resolution of 3°.
[0070] S22. Obtain at least one year's worth of TWS measured values through sampling or by obtaining them from officially published water resources statistical yearbooks. Use the TWS measured values to perform fusion calibration on the Level 3 remote sensing product data. The fusion calibration uses a Bayesian linear fusion algorithm, and its formula is as follows:
[0071] y fused-tws =α1y GSFC +α2y CSR +α3y JPL +∈2
[0072] Where y fused-tws To fuse the calibrated data, α i The coefficient is y, the sum is 1, and y GSFC ,y CSR ,yJPL All data are remote sensing product data, ∈2 represents the residuals, and the coefficient α is used to calculate the residuals. i The optimization of residuals ∈2 minimizes the root mean square error (RMSE) between the fused calibrated data and the TWS measured values.
[0073] S3. Based on the watershed-scale water balance equation ΔTWS=ΔSWS+ΔSMS+ΔGWS, the short-term groundwater GWS sequence is calculated.
[0074] The groundwater reconstruction method of this invention is based on the principle of mass conservation, which states that in a closed hydrological system, changes in water input, output, and storage must be balanced. By quantifying the various components of the watershed hydrological cycle, the temporal dynamics of water resources can be assessed. Some components, such as snowmelt and hillside runoff, contribute negligibly to the regional water balance and are therefore considered insignificant, and can be represented by the watershed-scale water balance equation.
[0075] Optionally, S3 specifically includes:
[0076] The short-term groundwater GWS sequence is estimated by subtracting the known changes in SWS and SMS from the change in TWS (ΔGWS) using the watershed-scale water balance equation: ΔGWS = ΔTWS - ΔSWS - ΔSMS. The GWS data for a specific year is used to calibrate the data and obtain the short-term groundwater GWS sequence. This GWS data is obtained from the local water resources bulletin for that year (the water resources bulletin can be GWS data from any year after 2002; ΔGWS can be used to calculate the data from that year to 2002 and from that year to 2023. For example, the 2010 water resources bulletin can be used to push back to 2009 up to 2002, or forward to 2011 up to 2023; the short-term groundwater GWS sequence includes data from 2002 to 2023).
[0077] S4. Using the short-term groundwater GWS sequence and the portion of the fused long-term meteorological and hydrological data after 2002 as target data and driving data, train the random forest RF sub-model of the long-term groundwater storage reconstruction RF-KF coupled model. The long-term groundwater storage reconstruction RF-KF coupled model includes the random forest RF sub-model and the Kalman filter KF sub-model.
[0078] S5. Input the fused long-term meteorological and hydrological data into the trained random forest (RF) sub-model to obtain the long-term prediction results of groundwater storage (GWS).
[0079] Optionally, the Random Forest (RF) sub-model aggregates multiple decision trees to capture the complex nonlinear relationship between meteorological and hydrological elements and GWS fluctuations, as shown in the following formula:
[0080]
[0081] Where f(R) is the long-term prediction result of the groundwater storage GWS, and T i (x) is the result predicted by the decision tree, and N is the number of decision trees.
[0082] However, due to changes in the distribution of historical data, extrapolation based on static data after 2002 may accumulate errors over a long period of time. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention use a Kalman filter KF sub-model to correct these errors.
[0083] S6. Replace the output of the prediction module of the Kalman filter KF sub-model with the long-term prediction result of the groundwater storage GWS, and use the update module of the Kalman filter KF sub-model to simulate the time dynamics and correct the accumulated error of the long-term prediction to obtain the final long-term reconstruction result of the groundwater storage GWS.
[0084] The Kalman filter KF sub-model uses an improved Kalman filter algorithm for data reconstruction.
[0085] The original Kalman filter algorithm operates within a state-space framework, continuously improving predictions by merging new observations and dynamically adjusting weights through the state covariance matrix. It estimates the system state by combining model predictions with observed data. The prediction steps of the prediction module are as follows:
[0086] X k =F k x k-1 +B k u k +w k
[0087] Where X k It is the Kalman filter prediction at time k; F k It is the state transition matrix, representing the relationship between the predicted value at the previous time point and the predicted value at the current time point; B k It is the control input matrix, representing the importance of the control factors; u k It is a meteorological and hydrological driving factor; w k It is process noise;
[0088] The update module optimizes the prediction results based on the observed data:
[0089] f(K) = X k +K k (z k -X k )
[0090]
[0091] K k =P k (P k +R k ) -1
[0092] Where z k It is the observed value of groundwater storage; K k It is the Kalman gain; R k and Q k All of these are model noise;
[0093] The improved Kalman filter algorithm uses the prediction results of the random forest (RF) sub-model to replace the output of the prediction module in the original Kalman filter, and uses an update module to simulate time dynamics and correct for long-term prediction accumulated errors. The equations are as follows:
[0094] f'(R,K) after2002 =f(R)+K k (z k -f(R))
[0095] f'(R,K) before2002 =f(R)+K k总 (z k总 -f(R) 总 )
[0096] Where f'(R,K) after2002 This is the result of GWS reconstruction of groundwater storage after 2002, f'(R,K) before2002 This is a long-term reconstruction of groundwater storage using the GWS model prior to 2002. f(R) is the prediction result from the Random Forest (RF) sub-model, replacing the original Kalman filter prediction result X. k ;z k This refers to the actual observed groundwater storage for a specific year (k) after 2002 that needs to be predicted; z k总 This represents the total observed values from one year after the year k that needs to be predicted, up to the final year, before 2002. For each year after 2002, the actual observed groundwater storage for that year is used. For each year before 2002, the reconstructed values from the Kalman filter KF sub-model are used as the observed values for that year. These observed values are summed to form z. k总 ;K k It is the Kalman gain, and its value is related to the prediction error F of the random forest. k It shows a negative correlation; for data after 2002, F... k F represents the error between the random forest prediction and the actual short-term groundwater observation for year k. For data prior to 2002, F k总 K represents the total error from year k to the final year;k总 With F k总 Showing a negative correlation, through and K k =P k (P k +R k ) -1 Calculated.
[0097] like Figure 4 As shown, the results of single random forest prediction and Kalman filter simulation are compared with those of the RF-KF coupled model simulation for long-term reconstruction of groundwater storage in this embodiment of the invention. The correlation coefficient R2 between the simulated and measured groundwater values, also known as the coefficient of determination, is an important indicator of the goodness of fit of the statistical model. The results show that the R2 of the coupled model simulation increased from 0.88 to 0.96, and the root mean square error (RMSE) decreased from 18.59 to 10.86, indicating that the embodiment of the invention has a better reconstruction effect for groundwater simulation. Figure 5 As shown, it can achieve 150,000 km. 2 The reconstruction of groundwater reserves in the Hulun Lake basin demonstrates its capacity for large-scale groundwater reconstruction.
[0098] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a watershed-scale groundwater storage GWS long-term reconstruction system, the system comprising:
[0099] The first acquisition and fusion calibration module 610 is used to acquire and fuse long-term meteorological and hydrological data from 1960 to 2023, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, air temperature, surface water storage (SWS), and soil water storage (SMS) at the watershed scale.
