Nowadays, changes in precipitation patterns together with the increasing water demand impose a sustainable management where budget between availability and is positively closed. A parsimonious hydrogeological modelling approach coupled soil balance developed applied order to quantify hydrological dynamics semi-arid region of Mediterranean basin. In particular, present work focuses on catchment ...

excessive withdrawal of groundwater and reduced rainfall in recent years have caused the drawdown of groundwater table. therefore, it is necessary to manage it for preventing its damage. the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of increasing the irrigation efficiency on groundwater fluctuation on ajab-shir plain aquifer. the aquifer was simulated by using visual modflow 3.1 s...

introductionit is expected that projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climate events, such as increased frequency of heat stress, droughts and flooding will have significant consequences on water resources. increasing pressure on water resources due to climatic and anthropogenic changes as well as increasing competition among users is recognized challenges worldwide. global...

artificial recharge can be an effective method to raise the groundwater table and to resolve the groundwater crisis in sefid dasht plain. the most important step to successful accomplishment of artificial recharge is locating suitable areas for artificial recharge. hence this research carried out with purpose of determining suitable areas for artificial recharge in sefid dasht plain. slope, sur...

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...

The quaternary aquifer of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Northern Spain) is characterised by a shallow water table mainly fed by drainage water, and thus constitutes a vulnerable zone in regards to nitrate pollution. Field studies were performed with a potato crop in 1993 and a sugar beet crop in 2002 to evaluate their impact on nitrate leaching. The overall predictive quality of the STICS so...

nitrate, arsenic, and selenium concentrations in the pecos valley aquifer of west texas were compiled, mapped, and analyzed in the context of local geology and land use. alluvial deposits of sand, silt, clay, and gravel compose the unconfined aquifer. ranching and farming are predominant land uses in the rural study area. data were tabulated from 79 water wells with a median depth of 75 m and m...
