Interactions between groundwater and surface water play a fundamental role in the functioning of riparian ecosystems. In the context of sustainable river basin management it is crucial to understand and quantify exchange processes between groundwater and surface water. Numerous well-known methods exist for parameter estimation and process identification in aquifers and surface waters. Only in r...

The present study investigates groundwater quality in terms of heavy metals level and microbial contamination as well as the impact of bleaching powder on microbial load of groundwater samples in close proximity to a surface water body inside selected areas of Ibadan Nigeria. To do so, it collects nine water samples from three boreholes and six hand-dug wells from six locations, namely Eleyele,...

Rice is an essential crop in Iran that is grown mostly in areas where depth to groundwater is low. Root growth and water uptake of rice under shallow groundwater has not been thoroughly studied. This experiment was conducted to determine the lowland rice (cv. Ghasrodashti) root distribution above shallow groundwater in relation to deficit irrigation and groundwater depth in cylindrical gre...

In Part I of this work we presented pesticide levels in the surface waters of the Lower Fraser Valley (LFV) region of British Columbia, Canada. In Part II pesticide levels in the groundwater of the LFV are presented. During the period 2003 to 2005 a study was conducted to determine the occurrence and spatial distribution of 78 pesticides in the groundwater of the LFV. Samples were collected and...

this paper gives an account of the implementation of geomorphological, hydrogeological, hydrochemical and isotopic techniques to understand groundwater-surface water interactions in a multiple use area, los padres-la brava corridor (se of buenos aires province, argentina). the isophreatic map reveals a regional flow from the sw to ne sector, and allowed us to define the effluent-influent behav...

This paper evaluated an integrated water resources management approach through linked WEAP-MODFLOW model. Study area is Ravasnar-Sanjabi plain located in Kermanshah province in the west of Iran. A MODFLOW model was evaluated and then, accepted as a groundwater model for the region in present research. Schematic WEAP model was provided as representing general features of water resources system a...

Sensor technologies offer particular advantages for surveillance, early warning and process control. This work aimed to provide information about practical new sensing devices that can be used for rapid field assessment of water pollution. A questionnaire completed in 2002 gathered information and data for a catalogue of sensors and instruments that can potentially be applied to soils, sediment...

One of the most important processes in today's industrial world, the Nexus Interaction, is known as Water, Soil and Wastewater (WSW). The purpose of this research is to provide a network model that can be used to determine the state of the hazards caused by Irrigation of land with untreated municipal wastewater. Methods of this study include the stages: knowledge of the study area, quantitative...
