THE ROLE OF GROUNDWATER FLOW ON THE EBBA POLAR RIVER RUNOFF (PETUNIABUKTA, CENTRAL SPITSBERGEN)
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2011, Vol 445, Issue 445
Abstract
This article presents the methodology of constructing a net of piezometers which form a local polar monitoring network. In these piezometers, systematic measurements of hydrogeological parameters that characterize shallow aquifer (thickness of the active layer, hydraulic conductivity, groundwater level and temperature fluctuations) were performed during the melting season of 2007. It was observed that groundwater occurs there seasonally in the summer melting season when the active layer melts and enables groundwater flow. The amount of water that recharges the Ebba River was calculated in accordance with Darcy’s law using field data. This calculation enabled more precise estimations of other components of the Ebba River recharge (surface and overland water inflow, recharge from glaciers).
