Abstract

The groundwater system in the Dongting Lake Plain, central-south China, was investigated from the perspective of tectonics. As a typical tectonic basin, the Dongting Lake Basin has a complex basement topography shaped by a series of tectonic events since the Cretaceous, which presents a vast depression basin with four extensive uplifts scattered in the plain. The barrier effects of the tectonic uplifts on the groundwater system were inferred based on the basement topographic map and Darcy’s law. They were also validated with the spatial analysis results associated with groundwater chemistry and the flow field. Tectonic uplift can reduce the thickness of the aquifer and, as a result, the flow direction of groundwater may change accordingly. In addition, a stagnant area can easily be formed where the extension area of uplift is large. Seven subsystems are distinguished considering the effects of the tectonic uplifts and major surface-water bodies on groundwater systems. This work is expected to deepen the understanding of the groundwater system of the Dongting Lake Plain on the macro scale and provide a new perspective for the analysis of groundwater systems in other similar plains with complex basement topography.
