RECONSTRUCTION OF GROUNDWATER FLOW IN THE WATER-BEARING SYSTEM OF THE WARSAW-BERLIN ICE-MARGINAL VALLEY IN THE KOŚCIAN–WOLSZTYN AREA BASED ON LOCAL AND REGIONAL MODELS

Abstract

Hydrogeological research of river and ice-marginal valleys, which are conducted for groundwater resources assessment, involve modelling of local (map scale below 1 : 25 000) or regional (map scale below 1 : 50 000) systems. Usually, these systems are discrete water-bearing subsystems related to surface waters and ascent recharge from deep aquifers (Przybyłek, Dąbrowski, 2013), which require detailed reconstruction of recharge and drainage systems (Dąbrowski et al., 2011). This paper presents and compares the results of modelling research of the Warsaw-Berlin Ice-Marginal Valley in the Kościan–Wolsztyn area conducted on two circulation system models to estimate disposable resources. These are the local, two- aquifer model of the study area, developed using Hydrylib software in 2003, and the regional, four-aquifer model of the Obra catchment for the study area, created using Groundwater Vistas software in 2017.
