In the majority of lumped water balance models of river basins, groundwater is represented by a single reservoir, and groundwater discharge is described by a singlevalued function of storage in the reservoir. It is demonstrated that single-valued storagedischarge functions are often incapable of representing the actual storage-discharge characteristics of a river basin. An alternative discharge...

a book review is presented on numerical simulation of groundwater flow and solute transport, edited by l. elango, published by allied publishers pvt. ltd. in 2005, 245 pp, hardback isbn 81-7764-923-x.

Quasi three-dimensional (quasi-3D)modelling plays a major role in analysis of groundwater flow in multiaquifer systems and it can be an efficient tool for artificial recharge modelling. As the role of artificial recharge in groundwater management continues to increase, analysis of responses to artificial recharge has a particular significance. This paper deals with some practical aspects of the...

Land Subsidence is a kind of slow evolution geological hazards which needs effective way to monitor. The causal and developmentsof land subsidence are complex. The monitor of land subsidence is also difficulty. So it is hard to analyze it in independent data source. This paper uses multiple source data to extract the high temporal and spatial resolution result. The deformations of land surface ...

Isotopic tracer and temperature measurements at large volume cold springs in the central Oregon Cascades are used to understand the pattern of groundwater flow. Standard oxygen and hydrogen isotope interpretations are used to determine the mean recharge elevation for springs. Carbon and helium isotopes are used to measure the component of dissolved magmatic gas in the spring waters. Inferences ...

Regarding to increased use of groundwater resources, it seems necessary to have more accurate knowledge of characteristics of aquifers in order to improved usage and accurate management of these resources. In this study, we simulated groundwater flow of Qazvin aquifer usingVisual MODFLOW model, collecting data and statistics, as well as using different studies. The simulation model has operated...

Irrigation of rice fields in Bangladesh with arsenic-contaminated groundwater transfers tens of cubic kilometers of water and thousands of tons of arsenic from aquifers to rice fields each year. Here we combine observations of infiltration patterns with measurements of porewater chemical composition from our field site in Munshiganj Bangladesh to characterize the mobility of arsenic in soils be...

Laboratory scale continuous-flow-through chambers (flow cells) facilitate the observation of microbes in a controlled, fully hydrated environment, although these systems often do not simulate the environmental conditions under which microorganisms are found. We developed a flow cell that mimics a subsurface groundwater-saturated rock fracture and is amenable to confocal laser scanning microscop...
