Figure 9 shows the change in water quantity in the wetland aquifer
system, where the reduced base flow Q2 is obtained from
the following equation:
Q2=Q0-Q1
where Q0 is the base flow when groundwater is not
exploited, Q1 is the base flow when groundwater is
exploited, and Q2 is the reduced base flow.
Total water reduction is the sum of reduced base flow and induced
infiltration and represents the total water reduction in the wetland,
which is obtained from the following equation:
Q4=Q2+Q3
where Q4 is the total water reduction in the wetland,
Q2 is the reduced base flow, and Q3 is
the induced infiltration.
