[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clearly illustrate the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] This embodiment provides a groundwater resource assessment method adapted to complex aquifer systems. (See reference...) Figure 1-4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0027] S100. Obtain basic geographic data, basic geological data, and water resource evaluation data for the unit to be evaluated.
[0028] Specifically, the basic geographic data includes river systems, administrative divisions (cities, counties, districts) within the evaluation unit, and geographic maps (ocean); the basic geological data includes regional geological maps and digital elevation models (DEM); and the water resources evaluation data includes groundwater recharge and discharge items for the unit to be evaluated.
[0029] An evaluation unit refers to a groundwater resource zone of an appropriate level selected for conducting groundwater resource evaluations. Groundwater resource zones of levels 1-6 are designated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and distributed to provinces for evaluation purposes.
[0030] Water resources assessment data can be collected from the national online groundwater resources assessment system.
[0031] S200. Based on the basic geographic data and basic geological data, a three-dimensional hydrogeological model of the unit to be evaluated is obtained by performing three-dimensional modeling in Surfer software; according to the water resources evaluation data, the three-dimensional hydrogeological model is cut along the river cross section and an indicator line of groundwater recharge and discharge items is drawn to obtain a cutting map of the three-dimensional hydrogeological model.
[0032] In one embodiment, obtaining a hydrogeological 3D model of the unit to be evaluated by performing 3D modeling in Surfer software includes the following steps: generating a 3D base based on an elevation grid file; importing geological maps and geographic base maps; importing zoning boundary and water system files; and exporting geological codes and administrative region name labels.
[0033] In one embodiment, a river cross section is determined based on the seepage section of the river seepage recharge from the water resources assessment data.
[0034] In one embodiment, the process of cutting and displaying the hydrogeological 3D model along the river cross-section includes the following steps: drawing profile lines in ArcGIS based on the river cross-section, cutting partition files based on the profile lines, trimming elevation data from the two partitions after cutting, generating grids respectively, and generating two 3D bases in Surfer.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the collected DEM data, regional geological maps, geographical maps, water systems, administrative divisions, and other basic geological and geographical data, a three-dimensional model is created in Surfer software to obtain a hydrogeological three-dimensional model of the evaluation unit. The three-dimensional model of the evaluation unit is then cut and displayed according to the seepage sections of the river seepage recharge volume. After cutting, wells, water levels, groundwater flow lines, etc., can be drawn on the cut surfaces, allowing for a direct view of groundwater flow direction, groundwater surface, groundwater evaporation, groundwater extraction, etc., to more intuitively demonstrate the groundwater resource recharge and discharge items of the evaluation unit.

[0037] Canvas technology and its advanced features, combined with the encapsulation principles and higher-order syntax of ES6 classes and the advanced rendering features of CSS3, enable a variety of animations and special effects. It also utilizes an API based on OpenLayers6 to configure animations and effects on 3D models, images, maps, and other service layers. Employing a black-box programming approach, all configurable options are provided through a unified entry point, allowing non-developers to configure custom animations and effects, significantly lowering the barrier to entry and increasing flexibility.
[0038] In one embodiment, step S300 includes: using Canvas to configure the hydrogeological 3D model cutout to display groundwater seepage, groundwater flow direction, and flow velocity at the corresponding locations, and recording the movement mode through coordinate points and sequence; after the web system reads these configurations, it displays the animation through coordinate point locations and timestamp information.
[0039] In one embodiment, step S300 further includes: when using the Canvas configuration, adding groundwater recharge and discharge data of water resource assessment data to the drawing table.
[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 As shown, the groundwater resource recharge and discharge data include rainfall infiltration recharge, river seepage recharge, groundwater evaporation, and groundwater extraction.
[0041] The groundwater resource assessment method for complex aquifer systems provided by this invention involves acquiring basic geographic data, basic geological data, and water resource assessment data for the unit to be evaluated; based on the basic geographic and geological data, performing 3D modeling in Surfer software to obtain a hydrogeological 3D model of the unit to be evaluated; according to the water resource assessment data, cutting the hydrogeological 3D model along a river cross-section to obtain a hydrogeological 3D model cut map; using Canvas to configure groundwater recharge and discharge items on the hydrogeological 3D model cut map, and reading the configuration file on the WEB terminal to dynamically display the groundwater recharge and discharge items of the hydrogeological 3D model of the unit to be evaluated on the webpage; it can be adapted to multiple types of aquifer systems nationwide and can perform modeling analysis and evaluation according to the actual situation of the evaluation area.
