GroMoPo Metadata for Kribi-Campo sub-basin model

Groundwater resources along the coast of Cameroon (Kribi-Campo Sub-Basin) are under siege from point and non-point pollution sources, climate change, urbanization and infrastructure development. This situation is made worse by the absence of a water management and development strategy. Managing and monitoring the area's water resources requires an understanding of the groundwater systems, and thus a thorough understanding of the geology. In this study, a 3D geological model was built from electro-seismic data and the structure of the area's aquifer system developed. The aquifer system structure was transferred into Visual MODFLOW Flex and then used to develop a typical hydrogeological model, which will help the management and monitoring of the area's groundwater resources. As more geological data become available, the current model can be updated easily by editing and recomputing. This work is expected to have a positive impact quite quickly on the provision of potable water and on public health.喀麦隆沿海（克里比-坎波次级流域）的地下水资源正遭受点源与非点源污染源、气候变化、城市化以及基础设施建设的严峻威胁。而由于缺乏水管理与开发战略，这一境况进一步恶化。对该区域水资源进行管理与监测，需要先明晰地下含水系统，进而需深入掌握区域地质情况。本研究依托电震数据构建了三维地质模型，并解析了区域含水层系统的结构。随后将该含水层系统结构导入Visual MODFLOW Flex中，进而构建了典型水文地质模型，该模型可为该区域地下水资源的管理与监测提供支撑。随着后续可获取更多地质数据，当前模型可通过编辑与重新计算实现便捷更新。本研究成果有望快速对饮用水供应及公共卫生产生积极影响。
