Abstract

STUDIES OF GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AND THE ASSESSMENT OF AQUIFER PROPERTIES FOR THE MODEL STUDIES OF GROUNDWATER FLOW IN THE GRUDZIĄDZ AREAAbstract. The paper presents the results of a preliminary study of geology and hydrogeological conditions of a Grudziądz groundwater intake. The focus of the study was to develop a conceptual model that will be used in further investigation to create a hydrogeological model. In the intake area two multi-aquifer formations have been distinguished: Quaternary and Paleocene-Cretaceous. The Quartenary multi-aquifer formation, which consists of two aquifers separated by poorly permeable rocks, is primary utility. Groundwater in the Paleocene-Cretaceous aquifer has an elevated mineral content, which makes it not usable. The intake is located near Grudziądz and areas of intense farming, which leads to a hazard of anthropopressure, and may have a negative impact on the groundwater quality and quantity. In-office work conducted for the preparation of article included gathering and description of archival data from over 120 years of intake existence. Data from 53 hydrogeological boreholes have been analyzed. In 2017, field work was also conducted, including several measurements of water table in wells and piezometers of the intake. Water samples have also been collected for chemical analyses. An efficiency assessment of some observation wells has been made, establishing their hydrogeological parameters using the PARAMEX method.
