Abstract With climate change, population growth and the resulting escalating water shortage, humanity is increasingly turning to non-renewable and even fossil groundwater resources, which poses a major challenge to sustainable water management. In this study, 2D basin-scale numerical simulations were carried out on the COMSOL Multiphysics® finite element numerical platform to identify non-renewable water resources in the Central Pannonian Basin (Central Europe, Hungary) based on the lack of hydraulic connection to recharge areas. The concept and boundary conditions (fixed water table configuration at the top, pressure-elevation profiles on the lateral sides, and constant pressure on the bottom) were derived from a previous basin-scale hydraulic data evaluation study, while the hydrostratigraphic subdivision was based on seismic and well log interpretations. As a result, topography-driven groundwater flow systems fed by meteoric water infiltration were separated from a transition zone, which contains non-renewable groundwater resources and covers 85% area of the simulated 110 km long and roughly 1600 m deep cross-section what was previously thought to be fully renewable. Such complex flow pattern and re-interpretation of the renewable and non-renewable groundwater resources can be expected in any terrestrial sedimentary basin with over-pressured flow domains. |
