87Final Report on Development of Deep Aquifer Database and Preliminary Deep Aquifer Map
5.4.1.3 Hydrostratigraphic Model
Figure 5.57 presents the complete hydrostratigraphic model for Satkhira district generated by the RockWorks 2004
software. The model presents a predominantly six-layer hydrostratigraphy. The topmost layer is the upper clay and
silt layer that exists all over the district with some variations in the thickness. The second layer is the shallow aquifer,
which is the most prolific aquifer of the district. This third layer is the aquitard separating the shallow aquifer from
the deep aquifer. The fourth layer the upper deep aquifer, which is also a good aquifer with uniform thickness. The
fifth layer is the deep aquitard that separates the two deep aquifers. The sixth layer is the deeper deep aquifer,
which is a relatively thin aquifer. Figure 5.58 presnts the fence diagram for the district.

5.3.2 Khulna
As there is sufficient data (and DPHE is planning to undertake a project of deep aquifer abstraction in the
area), Khulna district is also selected for the mapping exercise using the RockWorks 2004 software. The
locations of borelogs and orientations of the section lines is shown in Figure 5.59.

5.4.2.1 Hydrostratigraphic Cross Sections
A number of NS and EW hydrostratigraphic sections have been drawn using the RockWorks software. All the
sections, Figure 5.60 to 5.61, show the presence of two deep aquifers in the area. The sections also
demonstrate prominent changes in the thickness of the aquifers and aquitards in the NS directions.

5.4.2.2 Aquifer Models
As demonstrated by the cross sections, the aquifer models also confirm the presence of three aquifers in the
system. The first aquifer is the shallow aquifer whereas the second and third aquifers are the deep aquifers as
shown in Figure 5.63 and 5.64.

5.4.2.3 Hydrostratigraphic Model
The hydrostratigraphic model for the district is presented in Figure 5.65 that shows a six-layer
hydrostratigraphy. The model also picks the thickness variations of the different aquifers and aquitards. Figure
5.66 presents the fence diagram for Khulna district.

Figure 5.67 shows the location of borelogs included the in the database from Jessore district. The figure also shows the
orientation of the hydrostratigraphic cross sections.

5.4.3.1 Hydrostratigraphic Cross Sections
Figures 5.68 to 5.71 presents the hydrostratigraphic sections generated with the RockWorks 2004 software.
The sections show distinct shallow and deep aquifer in the area with pronounced thickness variations in the
north south directions. However, from JICA (2002) deep aquifer investigations it was shown that there was no
clay aquitard present up to a depth of 300m. JICA borelogs are included in the database and used for
generation of the sections. The software makes generalized sections by statistical averaging methods. In such
situations, the software may not be useful. To overcome such difficulties sections has to be drawn manually
by picking up the section line and plots of the logs (as demonstrated later for Chandpur Sadar Upazila).

5.4.3.2 Aquifer Models
Figure 5.72 and 5.73 presents the aquitard and aquifers of the Jessore district. Both the models show
pronounced variations in thicknesses of the aquitards and aquifers in the north-south directions. The shallow
aquifer becomes very thick in the north and consequently the aquitard separating the deep and shallow
aquifers becomes very thin. However, as mentioned in the earlier section, the aquitard does not exist in some
places in the north and the models are unable to demonstrate this, may be due to lack of enough data.

5.4.3.3 Hydrostratigraphic Model
Figure 5.74 is the hydrostratigraphic model for Jessore district. The model presents 4 to 6 layers in different
parts of the modeled area. The model shows that the top clay layer becomes thicker towards south. The
shallow aquifer extends to a much larger depth in the north than in the south. The aquitard separating the
shallow and deep aquifers varies significantly in thickness, i.e. very thick in the south and very thin in the
north. The deep aquifer seems to exist all over the district but covered by varying thickness of aquitard.

5.4.4.3 Hydrostratigraphic Model
Figure 5.84 presents the hydrostratigraphic model for Comilla district. The model deciphers a six-layer
hydrostratigraphy for the Comilla district. The top clay and aquitard layer becomes significantly thicker
towards the east while the shallow aquifer is very thick southwest. The aquitard separating the shallow and
deep aquifer varies in thickness and depth. The first deep aquifer occurs at around 200m. Figure 5.85 presents
the Fence diagram for Comilla district.
