Mining throughout the Floridan aquifer system alters groundwater conditions. Determination of magnitude and extent of groundwater alterations in this regional karst aquifer system is difficult due to preferential flow paths, blasting, and widespread aquifer withdrawals and injections. Additionally, hydrologic models do not reveal subsurface impacts to the biotic environment, such as destruction...

The Yazd-Ardakan basin in Central Iran has two separated aquifers. The shallow unconfined aquifer is supplies 40 Qanats. The deep saturated confined aquifer is the main water storage. Due to over-withdrawal, water table has been decreasing during last 25 years. Recent study shows that the shortage of the aquifer is about 16 meters and land subsidence is 0.5 1.2 meters. Long deep cracks are foun...

The corresponding author Abstract—A multi-layered fault injection mode is explored and a multi-layered system robustness testing strategy based on abnormal parameter is put forward. Fault injection methods for three layers (API, DPI and system calls based on workloads) of Linux operation system are designed. And an integrated fault injection platform to multi-layered fault injection for testing...

Leaky faults provide important flow paths for fluids to move underground. It is often necessary to characterize such faults in engineering projects such as deep well injection of waste liquids, underground natural gas storage, and radioactive waste isolation. To provide this characterization, analytical solutions are presented for groundwater flow through saturated aquifer-fault-aquifer systems...

Cynthia L. Teeter1 , Douglas Gunnison2, Norman R. Francingues, Jr. 3 , and Mark E. Zappi4 The North Boundary treatment system at Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA), Commerce City, Colorado, involves pumping of contaminated groundwater from an unconfined aquifer from one side of a soilbentonite (SB) slurry wall to three pulsed-bed activated carbon adsorbers and prefilter and postfilter systems. The tr...

abstract the coupled modflow-hydrus software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a flood spreading system (fss) and its associated aquifer. the study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. the coupled model was built with average rmse=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration and...

This work used experimental and numerical methods to investigate seawater intrusion (SWI) in a complex heterogeneous laboratory-scale aquifer. We started the analysis with homogeneous isotropic aquifer as reference case, then moved layered aquifers. The study also investigated block-wise synthetic aquifers different configurations. wedge toe length generally decreased under conditions, while fr...

Karst aquifers occur in a range of climatic and geologic settings. Nonetheless, they are commonly characterized by their vulnerability to water-quality impairment. Two karst aquifers, the Edwards aquifer in south-central Texas and the Upper Floridan aquifer in western Florida, were investigated to assess factors that control the movement of contaminants to public-supply wells (PSWs). The geoche...
