Summary:Excessive exploitation of groundwater resources in Muzhu river aquifer has caused serious problem such as groundwater shortage and pollution. Therefore, information about the quantity of Muzhu river aquifer is an urgent necessary for optimum protection, management of groundwater resources, and stopping the future damages. In this study, the quantity of Muzhu river aquifer is investigated by numerical simulation software GMS. The numerical model for this aquifer was calibrated by observed data. Results showed these: the amount of recharge to aquifer is 12557.53×104 m3/a, the amount of discharge from aquifer is 11805.09×104 m3/a, and the net recharge is 752.44×104 m3/a, it indicated that available groundwater resources have reached its limitation. Therefore, we suggested that exploitation of groundwater should be reduced and discharge from some of agricultural wells should be stopped.
