ABSTRACT

In the study of groundwater flow process and its relationship with surface water transformation, the distribution characteristics of frozen soil and the impact mechanism of the thawing process on the groundwater system are less studied. By analyzing the contribution of groundwater in frozen soil areas at home and abroad to river runoff, groundwater flow path and groundwater-thermal coupling model, and reviewed the research on groundwater flow process and its transformation with surface water. It is believed that: ① Affected by the spatial heterogeneity of frozen soil in the soil, the impact of groundwater in different frozen soil areas on runoff The proportion of contribution is inconsistent; ②The use of hydrochemistry and isotope tracers to study groundwater flow paths is helpful for the construction of conceptual models of groundwater flow systems in permafrost areas, but only qualitative or semi-quantitative results can be obtained; ③ Underground multi-phase flow systems The water-thermal coupling model can couple the changes in frozen soil with its corresponding hydrological response process, achieving a quantitative depiction of the groundwater flow process and its relationship with surface water transformation. However, it still needs to be further improved in terms of practicality, which is the future main research directions.
