Abstract

In order to characterize of hydrogeologica l condition at a scale of several kilometers by using groundwater flow modeling, it is important to set groundwater flow modeling area and its boundary conditions adequately. Therefore it is efficient and useful to detect the groundwater flow system includes the area from the recharge area to discharge area. The groundwater flow system through deep underground is to be mainly affected by hinterland, large faults and groundwater table distribution. In this study, therefore, three dimensional groundwater flow modeling taking account of these influences was performed in some areas having different scale to identify groundwater flow system through deep underground.
From the results, t he groundwater flow system could be identified, and the modeling area and its boundary conditions have been able to set at a scale of several kilometers adequately.
