In Nnewi, Anambra State Nigeria, twenty vertical electrical sounding (VES) were performed to delineate vulnerability and transmissivity of identified aquifer within the study area. Hydraulic parameters (transverse resistance, longitudinal conductivity, hydraulic conductivity transmissivity) delineated from geoelectrical (depth, thickness, apparent resistance). The geo- aquifer: resistanc...

Existence of heavy minerals in waters in some regions causes serious environmental pollution and affects the soil and water resources quality. Soil and waters sensitive to pollutants were investigated in this research, based on the degree of sensitivity of their parameters. The samples obtained from industrial and agricultural areas for identifying water tables at higher risk and display region...

Population growth, increasing urbanization and industrialization, mismanagement, climate change are accountable for the rising depletion pollution of groundwater worldwide. Consequently, water security, food environmental security in jeopardy, leading to a severe concern sustainable supply on Earth. The contamination groundwater, complex hidden resource, is difficult detect treat. Therefore, it...

This paper presents the results of a detailed field investigation that was performed for studying groundwater recharge processes and solute downward migration mechanisms prevailing in the unsaturated zone overlying a chalk aquifer in Belgium. Various laboratory measurements were performed on core samples collected during the drilling of boreholes in the experimental site. In the field, experime...

Characteristics of nitrogen loading and aquifer susceptibility to contamination were evaluated to determine their influence on contamination of shallow ground water by nitrate. A set of 13 explanatory variables was derived from these characteristics, and variables that have a significant influence were identified using logistic regression (LR). Multivariate LR models based on more than 900 samp...

Groundwater exploitation requires better understanding of the resource availability and quality/vulnerability. Geophysical techniques, pumping test, hydraulic measurement, borehole logging quality test analysis have been used in Ibulesoro, southwestern Nigeria, to hydrogeological system terms groundwater availability, aquifer delineation, evaluate physico-chemical biological contents. The study...

Domestic wells in North America and elsewhere are typically constructed at relatively shallow depths and with the sand or gravel pack extending far above the intake screen of the well (shallow well seal). The source areas of these domestic wells and the effect of an extended gravel pack on the source area are typically unknown, and few resources exist for estimating these. In this article, we u...

Indicators, for groundwater resources, have mostly been employed to define the present status and the degradation tendency, regarding both quantity (under- or overexploitation) and quality (natural and anthropic contamination). This work presents the application of indicators in order to draw a picture of the groundwater resources situation in the 22 Water Resource Management Units (WRMU) of th...
