Regional groundwater flow numerical model southern Verkhnekamskoye deposit of potassium-magnesium salts

Abstract

The article provides a regional three-dimensional numerical groundwater flow model designed for both operational as well as for long-term projections of inflows from groundwater in the BKPRU-1 mine workings on Verkhnekamsk potassium-magnesium salts from 2006-2008. We give a detailed description of the model structure created on the basis of the Processing Modfl ow package (v. 5.3). We also provide a method for the development and calibration of the model in steady-state and transient simulation and projections. Refs 14. Figs 7.
