The practical application of sustainable development concepts in groundwater resource management will be complex. The past studies indicate long-term aim of integration to develop the spatial decision support system (SDSS), which is devoted to help decision makers in spatial problems. The essence of this paper is to present a strategy of the groundwater potential with integrating geographical i...

Geology of this area is ranging from Precambrian age for the rocks of granite, gneisses, schist and quartzite rocks, to recent age overlain by thick layers of alluvial deposits. This study aims to evaluate geological and structural influences on groundwater of Chamarajanagar taluk. It is an essential resource in outcrop and structures of the area, because of local field conditions, such as rock...

Groundwater (GW) is a significant freshwater resource for domestic, industrial and irrigation water supply in the India. During last decades, the demand of groundwater supply for drinking, domestic, irrigation, industrial and multipurpose uses has increased due to the rapidly rising population and constant desire for a better lifestyle in developing countries. Increasing demand for fresh water ...

The development of markets for natural resources can help to ensure that individual users appropriately internalize the opportunity cost of these resources and thus can decrease resource use. However, expansion of markets also makes it possible to sell these resources, which may lead to more rapid extraction. A simple model of markets for groundwater suggests that the latter effect dominates an...

abstract background and purpose:in many regions especially in the north of iran groundwater is the most important resource for drinking supply. a present study was carried out in the tajan plain in northern iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of groundwater. materials and methods:in order to constructing the groundwater quality index (gwqi) 3 main levels were composed select...

this paper dealswith thermo-mineral groundwater of themondragone plain (campania, southernitaly) and the possibility to use this low enthalpy geothermal resource. in the nw sector of this plain, at thebottom of mt. pizzuto, near the sea, there are thermo-mineral waters (50 °c) of sodium-chloride type,sulfureous and rich in co2 whose recharge is from the mt. pizzuto groundwater body. in the se s...
