Quantity investigation of groundwater in Ghaemshahr-Jouibar aquifer
Abstract
Nowadays groundwater of Ghaemshahr-Jouibar aquifer is decreasing very rapidly. Thus this research was done with the aim of analyzing the changes of water level in Ghaemshahr-Jouibar aquifer using GIS and comparing the results in the considered period. For studying the changes of water level, data of 40 wells were gathered in years 1996-2012. The results showed that in some years the level of water was close to the ground and in other years the level of groundwater was so far from the earth ground. According to the annual hydrograph there are three increasing periods with the recorded numbers for water level in the aquifer 0.13, 1.73 and 0.76 respectively in years 1996-1997, 2002-2004 and 2008-2012. The most increasing of water level was related to years 2002-2004. In average the level of water was decreased 0.92 (without considering the increasing years).
