Abstract

Abstract

The water extraction process of large-scale infiltration galleries can significantly alter the exchange dynamics between surface water and groundwater. However， the existing models often simplify the gallery as a boundary condition or adopt a loosely coupling schemes， and are typically constrained by iterative exchange algorithms， which often fail to accurately capture the dynamic water flux interactions and transient responses among system components. To address this limitation， this study focused on the large riverbed infiltration and purification water supply project in Shijiazhuang， China， and established an integrated three-domain fully coupled numerical model—encompassing surface water， groundwater， and the infiltration gallery—using the dual-node coupling approach in HydroGeoSphere. The model set two upstream inflow scenarios （wet season and dry season conditions） and simulated the characteristics of regional groundwater level evolution and the water exchange processes among various domains under two operational modes： single-pump extraction at 1000 m³/h and no pumping. Simulation results showed that groundwater levels declined markedly under pumping， with the most pronounced response occurring during the dry season， where the maximum drawdown reached approximately 1.24 m. Monitoring wells near the gallery showed an obviously earlier hydraulic response to pumping， reaching peak drawdown rates about 2 to 3 days sooner than wells located farther away. Further analysis of water exchange characteristics at steady-state balance revealed significant differences across scenarios： overall， surface water contributed more recharge to groundwater during the wet season than in the dry season， and the water exchange between the infiltration gallery and the aquifer was substantially enhanced under pumping conditions. Spatially， the water exchange was concentrated primarily around the transverse and longitudinal gallery sections， consistent with the localized enhancement of permeability induced by the perforated structure of the gallery. These findings revealed the groundwater dynamics and multi-domain interaction mechanisms under operational conditions of large-scale infiltration galleries， providing a theoretical basis for the planning， design， and sustainable operation of similar riverbed infiltration water supply systems.
