Abstract

Artificial recharge technology is a method for solving problems such as groundwater level drop and ground subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal. This study investigated the applicability of using the hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer to predict injection test results for aquifer restoration. Pumping and injection tests were performed under the same conditions as those for the artificial injection facility located in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, which plays a decisive role in restoring the groundwater level, was derived from the pumping test. A numerical model of a simplified on-site aquifer was constructed, and a transient analysis was applied with the same conditions as the pumping test. The correlation between the measured and the resulting model values is strong (R² = 0.78). The injection test was performed in a sedimentary layer composed of silt sand and clay sand. From the results of the injection test, an empirical formula was derived using Theim’s formula, which is a common well analysis solution to determine the parameters of the aquifer from time-level data. The model values from the empirical formula have a high degree of correlation (R² = 0.99) with measured values. Under specific conditions, for areas where it is difficult to conduct an injection test, the formula from this study, which relies on the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer determined through the pumping test, may be used to predict reliable injection rates for groundwater restoration.

본 연구에서는 지하공간 개발로 인해 발생하는 지하수위저하, 지반함몰 등의 문제를 해결하는 방법 중 하나인 인공함양기술에 있어 지하수 함양에 결정적인 역할을 하는 지표매질 특성인 수리전도도(hydraulic conductivity)에 관한 적용성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 경기도 이천에 위치한 인공함양시설의 설계조건을 동일하게 하여 양수시험과 주입시험을 수행하였다. 양수시험을 통해서는 지하수위를 회복하는데 있어 결정적인 역할을 하는 대수층의 수리상수값을 도출하였으며, 현장 대수층을 단순화 시킨 모델을 구축하여 양수시험 조건과 동일하게 적용한 부정류 해석을 수행하여 실측값과 모델값의 상관성을 검토한 결과 R² = 0.78로 분석되었다. 동일한 조건으로 주입시험을 수행하였으며, 주입되는 지층은 실트질모래와 점토질모래로 구성된 퇴적층에서 시험을 진행하였다. 주입시험을 통해 측정된 결과를 통해 시간-수위 자료로부터 대수층의 매개변수를 결정하는 대표적 우물해석해인 Thiem의 공식을 활용하여 경험식을 유도하였으며, 유도된 경험식과 실측값의 상관분석을 수행한 결과 R² = 0.99의 높은 상관성을 가지는 경험식을 유도하였다. 본 연구는 주입시험이 수행되기 어려운 지역에서 양수시험을 통해 결정된 대수층의 수리전도도를 활용할 경우, 특정 조건에서 신뢰도 높은 결과를 예측하는데 적절히 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
