Precipitation and Discharge Response Mechanism Based on Conduit Flow Model in Karstic Water System: Application the Houzhai Karstic Water System of
Taken Houzhai karstic water system as an example, the precipitation and spring discharge ideal model of karstic region was developed by applying the conduit flow process (CFP) in order to characterize the recharge and transport mechanism of the kartstic system. Different sinkhole recharge positions, different conductivities and specific yields were considered to characterize the cross-correlation of precipitation and spring discharge. The results show that the charge degree of the cross-correlation is higher under different recharge positions than that under different aquifer properties. The cross correlation curves of precipitation and spring discharge can be used to study karstic hydrodynamic characteristic, such as the karstic conduit flow paths supplemented by necessary hydrogeology survey.
