• W1535587701 abstract "The Dumfries Basin occupies the lower part of the River Nith catchment in south-westScotland. The basin is a deep, partly fault bounded, outlier of Permian sandstone and breccia,with a partial superficial cover comprising a variety of lithologies which range from gravel tosandy clay. There is a complex interaction between the River Nith and the aquifer as the riverand its various tributaries cross the basin.Piecemeal investigation of the aquifer had taken place since the first public supply boreholewas commissioned in the late 1970s. The main driver of these studies was groundwaterdevelopment and latterly also pollution protection. The purpose of the current study was tobring these findings together, to identify gaps in data and to develop and test a conceptualflow model for the basin. The key objective of the study was to determine the total renewableresource available in the Dumfries Basin Aquifer as a part of the overall Nith catchment, by:o Defining the groundwater flow system, its principal recharge and discharge zones.o Developing a catchment scale water balance.o Identifying data gaps.The conceptual flow model of the aquifer was developed and this work drew on new drilling,monitoring, and analytical activities, which together allowed the new conceptualisation to bedeveloped. The conceptual model has now been tested with the development of a distributedrecharge model for the basin, which depends partly on surface water accretion data, an overallbasin-wide water balance and a steady state groundwater flow model. This report describesthe modelling and water balance studies.Annual precipitation totals vary from approximately 1000 mm in coastal areas to more than2000 mm over the high ground near the western watershed. Average potential evaporation istypically in the range 450 to 550 mm a-1.The bedrock aquifer sequence of the Dumfries Basin comprises the Doweel Breccia andLocharbriggs Sandstone formations that are Permian in age. The Doweel Breccia comprisespredominantly sedimentary breccia interbedded with sandstone and underlies the western partof the basin. The formation extends eastward toward the centre of the basin where itinterfingers with the Locharbriggs Sandstone that underlies the eastern and northern parts ofthe basin. The superficial geology of the Dumfries Basin is dominated by an extensivedevelopment of glacigenic deposits, including lodgement tills and sand and gravel deposits,with marine clays towards and at the coast. Whereas the Locharbriggs Sandstone has highstorage and low permeability, fractures control the hydraulics of the Doweel Breccia whichhas the opposite characteristics.The effective depth of the aquifer is variable, but evidence from boreholes in the Terreglesarea and elsewhere indicates that active fracture flow occurs to depths in excess of 100 m.The piezometry of the aquifer, for which data are concentrated in the central and western partsof the basin, suggests that the main rivers are the principal discharge areas for groundwater inboth the Permian and superficial aquifers. It was also accepted that the low permeabilityfluvio-marine silts and clays in the south of the basin, both onshore and offshore, allowedlittle groundwater flow directly to the sea, whilst also acting as a barrier to sea waterintrusion." @default.
