Groundwater depletion is the natural consequence of withdrawing water from an aquifer at a higher rate than recharge. If groundwater abstraction exceeds recharge for extensive areas and long time, overexploitation or persistent can occur [...].

Water table temperatures inferred from dissolved noble gas concentrations (noble gas temperatures, NGT) are useful as a quantitative proxy for air temperature change since the last glacial maximum. Despite their importance in paleoclimate research, few studies have investigated the relationship between NGT and actual recharge temperatures in field settings. This study presents dissolved noble g...

Hydrological Processes. 2017;1–19. Abstract This study analyzes a long‐term regional compilation of water table response to climate variability based on 124 long‐term groundwater wells distributed across New England, USA, screened in a variety of geologic materials. The New England region of the USA is located in a humid‐temperature climate underlain by low‐storage‐fractured metamorphic and cry...

Ground-water availability from the High Plains aquifer in Southwest Kansas Ground-water Management District 3 (GMD 3) is declining as it is elsewhere in the western part of the state (Figure 1). Water-use density, defined as the annual amount of water pumped from the aquifer per unit of land area, is high over much of the District and greatly exceeds annual recharge (McMahon et al., 2003). Subs...

[1] The estimation of catchment-averaged aquifer hydraulic conductivity values is usually performed through a base flow recession analysis. Relationships between the first time derivatives of the base flow and the base flow values themselves, derived for small and large values of time, are used for this purpose. However, in the derivation of the short-time equations, an initially fully saturate...

[1] The Martian outflow channels were carved by the eruption of catastrophic floods from groundwater aquifers. This study models the time evolution of a typical outflow channel flood originating within a chaos region. The flood initiates when superlithostatic pore pressures within a confined aquifer lead to the propagation of hydrofractures through the confining cryosphere to the surface. The p...

[1] In 2003–2005, systematic studies in four contrasting hydrogeologic settings were undertaken to improve understanding of source and transport controls on nitrate movement to public supply wells (PSW) in principal aquifers of the United States. Chemical, isotopic, and age tracer data show that agricultural fertilizers and urban septic leachate were the primary sources of large nitrate concent...

Surface spreading recharge, the intentional flooding of ground surface to replenish a groundwater system, is one approach used mitigate overdraft in California's Central Valley (CV). Choosing appropriate sites for regard sites’ ability convey water from desired recharge depth, can be challenging because limited knowledge properties subsurface. In this study, we present an using towed time-domai...

The Varaždin aquifer represents the main source of water for public supply, agricultural, and industrial purposes in County NW Croatia. In last decades, this area has experienced contamination groundwater with nitrates. This study describes conceptualization purpose developing numerical model flow nitrate transport. Within study, three important elements are defined: geometry, recharge from pre...
