Mean groundwater levels of a multi-layered coastal leaky aquifer system are considered. The system consists of an unconfined aquifer, a confined aquifer and a semi-permeable layer between them. Both exact asymptotic solutions and approximate perturbation solutions are derived for multi-sinusoidal-component sea tide. At inland places far from the coastline, the perturbation solutions show a good...

the mikkes basin is located at the north center of morocco. it comprises three different zones which represent diversified geologies which shelter a phreatic and confined aquifer in the sais basin and a shallow aquifer in the tabular middle atlas. the springs in the sais phreatic aquifer have suffered a maximum depletion. the springs with a deep or mixed origin are known as low flow variation s...

This study presents an approach for obtaining limited sets of realizations of hydraulic conductivity (K) of multiple aquifers using simulated annealing (SA) simulation and spatial correlations among aquifers to simulate realizations of hydraulic heads and quantify their uncertainty in the Pingtung Plain, Taiwan. The proposed approach used the SA algorithm to generate large sets of natural logar...

Tidal fluctuations in a leaky confined coastal aquifer are damped significantly due to leakage into an overlying phreatic aquifer. Jiao and Tang [1999] presented an analytical solution to a simple model describing this phenomenon. Their solution assumes that the tidal fluctuations in the overlying phreatic aquifer are negligible (i.e., a static phreatic aquifer). Here we examine dynamic effects...

Saltwater intrusion is an ideal target for mapping with airborne electromagnetic techniques because of the high electrical conductivity of saline water and its contrast with that of freshwater. Using electromagnetic sensors to measure the electromagnetic response of the ground at several frequencies, information from various depths is obtained. The electromagnetic response is then converted to ...

1-introduction one of the problems that is important in the waste management is the topic of waste rural landfill site selection and latex resulting from that in rural areas. the latex can be because groundwater pollution the contamination vulnerability and groundwater protection assessment has proved to be an effective tool for the delineation of protection zones in area affected by groundwate...

A USGS investigation into the transport of contaminants to public-supply wells (PSWs) in four distinctly different aquifers demonstrates how differences in the chemistry of water produced by PSWs and nearby monitoring wells can reveal where and how contamination-susceptible water enters PSWs. This knowledge can be translated into improved monitoring strategies and protection plans. Samples were...

Intermontane basins in the Trans-Pecos region of westernmost Texas and northern Chihuahua, Mexico, are target areas for disposal of interstate municipal sludge and have been identified as possible disposal sites for low-level radioactive waste. Understanding ground water movement within and between these basins is needed to assess potential contaminant fate and movement. Four associated basin a...
