英文摘要 | Accurate and densely covered specific yields (S y ) are essential for estimating the storage capacity of a groundwater reservoir. A cross‐well pumping test can determine S y , but its high cost often makes it unsuitable for sampling high‐resolution S y . The gravity‐based method (GBM) based on gravity changes near existing groundwater wells may outperform cross‐well pumping tests in estimating S y . We established ten gravity sites close to groundwater wells in the aquifer‐rich Choushui River Alluvial Fan and Mingchu Basin in central Taiwan and measured gravity changes with two FG5 gravimeters from 2012 to 2017. Thirty‐nine S y values with formal errors are determined by natural rises and falls in gravity and groundwater level. The representative S y values (0.04 to 0.29) from GBM are in general consistent with those from cross‐well pumping tests (0.03 to 0.24). Repeated groundwater level changes over similar depth range at different times serve as revisit tests, showing that GBM can reproduce a reliable S y value at a given site and depth. Soil moisture and compaction data show that the effects of gravity changes originating from unsaturated zones and deep aquifer layers are minor. Using the cylinder model for aquifers with limited lateral extents, we assess the validity of the Bouguer model by quantifying gravity differences and relative S y differences originating from the model assumption. Improvements in environmental resilience and transportability achieved by recent atomic gravimeters may increase the potential of GBM to replace or supplement cross‐well pumping tests in densifying S y point densities for an improved groundwater resource management. |
