Though popular in the geophysical modeling community, specification of spatially distributed parameters at a scale commensurate with prevailing geological heterogeneity has not been possible in common groundwater modeling practice. The principal reasons for this are (1) the high computational burden of obtaining derivatives necessary for parameter estimation, (2) the memory required to store th...

Water is the most important substance on Earth. While not a mineral itself, water rules the mineral kingdom since interaction with water is fundamental to all geological processes. And water can even slip into the mineral kingdom by freezing into ice. Water occurs in the hydrologic cycle as soil water, groundwater and surface water. We also find water vapor in the atmosphere and frozen water in...

Mathematical models have been widely used to understand, predict, or optimize many complex physical processes. In particular, simulation of environmental eeects of air polution is extensive. Here we address the need for using similar models to understand the fate and transport of groundwater contaminants and to design in situ remediation strategies. Three basic problem areas must be addressed i...

Background and Purpose: Elevated nitrate concentrations in drinking water can cause methemoglobinemia in infants, stomach cancer in adults and nitrate poisoning in animals as well. Modeling of nitrate fate and transport in groundwater to minimize nitrate concentration in groundwater has been studied by numerous researchers. Materials and Methods: In order to determine the pote...

hydrograph modeling and prediction of groundwater levels are the main concerns of most hydrogeological calculations and water resource management process. the present study is an application of sequential gaussian simulation (sgsim) method for predicting groundwater levels using recorded monthly data (180 months) related to 21 piezometers of behbahan aquifer, southwest of iran. to generate real...

The risk to adjacent aquatic systems posed by leachates from scrap tires used in engineering applications has not been characterized adequately. Toxicity testing, toxicity identification evaluation (TIE), and groundwater modeling were used to determine the circumstances under which tire shreds could be used as roadbed fill with negligible risk to aquatic organisms in adjacent water bodies. Elev...

It is over two decades that groundwater flow models are routinely implemented for better management of groundwater resources.Modeling groundwater flow with the help of the ground water modeling system (GMS) in the Damghan plain aquifer in northern Iran,which experiences declining levels and numerous environmental hazards, has demonstrated that, (a) in the worst case scenario theaquifer will fac...

Nowadays the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most powerful cost effective tools to identify and discover the available groundwater resources. In this paper, Lithological Units, Lineaments, Slope, Topography, Drainage density, Vegetation and Isohyets lines have been achieved by stations and through remote sensing and GIS techniques. All layers of diffe...
