Considering the hydrogeological and boundary conditions of Yangzhuang karst groundwater system, a generalized hydrogeological model of groundwater Keywords: flow was created and the governing equations were derived for karst groundwater simulation Yangzhuang basin, karst groundwater in the study area. Then, the study area was divided into 31,152 rectangular grids by finite system, recharge enhancement, difference method. The established model was applied to simulate the groundwater levels in numerical simulation, exploitation 25 observation wells, and proved to be feasible through the fitting of simulated results with the potential measured results. Next, several forecast conditions and constraints were laid down, including but not limited to the precipitation calculated by historical series and future series (non- stationary) and the recharge enhancement measures like greening and retaining dam construction.
