Tide-induced groundwater fluctuation in a coastal leaky confined aquifer system extending under the sea
This paper presents the analytical solution of groundwater response to tidal fluctuation in a coastal multilayer aquifer system consisting of a leaky confined aquifer, a semipermeable layer, and an unconfined aquifer. The semipermeable layer, or the roof of the leaky confined aquifer, extends under the sea. Comparisons are made with solutions derived previously, which considered only a single a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Impervious Surface Estimates in a Rapidly Urbanizing Watershed
Accurate measurement of impervious surface (IS) cover is an essential indicator of downstream water quality and a critical input variable for many water quality and quantity models. This study compares IS estimates from a recently developed satellite imagery/land cover approach with a more traditional aerial photography/land use approach. Both approaches are evaluated against a high-quality val...
متن کاملNitrate Contamination of Groundwater under Irrigated Coastal Plain Soils
To develop best management practices (BMP) for agricultural land to protect groundwater, data is needed on the leaching of N from irrigated coastal plain soils treated with poultry manure. This study was conducted to determine the vertical and seasonal patterns of NO3 leaching under such soils. Four commercially farmed corn (Zea mays L.) fields were studied, two receiving only fertilizer N (240...
متن کاملCoastal Groundwater Flow and Associated Nutrient Transport into the Sea
A numerical model is developed to examine coastal groundwater processes in a sandy beach, including the effects of tidal fluctuations, saltwater intrusion into an aquifer, and dynamics in unsaturated layers. The simulation results indicate: 1) ‘Local circulation’ is clearly formed in the aquifer near the shoreline owing mainly to tidal oscillations. 2) The circulation induces a landward bending...
متن کاملGeospatial Assessment of Cholera in a Rapidly Urbanizing Environment
This study mapped out and investigated the spatial relationship between cholera incidences and environmental risk factors in the study area. The study area was stratified into eight zones. Water samples from each zone were collected and analyzed to determine the colony forming units. GIS layers including housing density, digitized roads, rivers, buildings, and cholera incidence data from hospit...
