Popis: Four bore holes were drilled in this area and many isotope injections experiments were carried out for the determination of the effective porosity, permeability, transmissibility, storage coefficient and velocity of the underground water flow, using iodine-131 as a radioactive tracer. The result indicated that the aquifer in this area is of good parameters (effective porosity, permeability, transmissibility and storage coefficient) and normal water, which means enough water suitable for economic utilization. The radioactive technique used in drawdown for permeability, transmissibility, and storage coefficient measurement is specific and gave good results while the classical method might be subjected to technical operation error.
