Abstract

Groundwater resources originate as a result of atmospheric precipitation entering the Earth. In an aquifer that has too much water, water fills the empty space between the grains. Groundwater usually moves slowly and this movement depends on subsurface characteristics such as hydraulic slope. The natural cycle of water in the biological process with human entry has faced two major problems. The first is the exploitation strategies of groundwater resources and the second is the conversion of most of the abstraction water into sewage, drainage, and effluent, which endangers the health of consumption. On the other hand, groundwater is a hidden source of water and its quantitative and qualitative control is difficult. Quantitative vulnerability of groundwater aquifers can be attributed to factors such as water table drop or piezometric pressure, subsidence, and landslides in areas with catchment aquifers. In this study, a numerical framework was developed to manage the groundwater levels based on exploitation control. The results showed that in the numerical modeling of groundwater, the boundary and initial conditions should be determined in points and then by intermediating between them, the required map can be converted as the model input.
