Confronted with the need for accessible sources of good quality water and in view of the fact that the threat to public health posed by arsenic occurs mainly through the ingestion of contaminated drinking water, the presence and distribution of arsenic was evaluated in the southern Pampa Plains of Bahía Blanca district in Argentina. The findings show variable concentrations of arsenic in a comp...
Water is essential for life. Specifically in the oases of inland arid basins, water is a critically limited resource, essential for the development of the socio-economy and the sustainability of eco-environmental systems. Due to the unique hydrological regime present in arid oases, a moderate groundwater table is the goal of sustainable water management. A shallow water table induces serious se...
At the beginning of 2008, I visited a watershed located in Karkinatam village in the state of Karnataka, South India. There, crops are intensively irrigated using groundwater. The water table has been depleted from 5 m-depth to 50 m-depth in a large part of the area. Now, 42 % of a total of 158 water wells in the watershed are dry. Speaking with the farmers, I have been amazed to learn that the...
[1] The 26 December 2004 tsunami caused widespread destruction and contamination of coastal aquifers across southern Asia. Seawater filled domestic open dug wells and also entered the aquifers via direct infiltration during the first flooding waves and later as ponded seawater infiltrated through the permeable sands that are typical of coastal aquifers. In Sri Lanka alone, it is estimated that ...
The main aim of smart cities is to achieve the sustainable use of resources. In order to make the correct use of resources, an accurate monitoring and management is needed. In some places, like underground aquifers, access for monitoring can be difficult, therefore the use of sensors can be a good solution. Groundwater is very important as a water resource. Just in the USA, aquifers represent t...
Environmental management and planning problems cover important real life areas. These problems may include the scarcity of groundwater resource, the optimality of a multi-reservoir system, the management of forest resources, the air quality monitoring networks, the municipal solid waste policies, etc. Management and planning targets by authorities consist in allocations at appropriate places an...
Institutions formed through local collective action can provide effective solutions to environmental and resource problems. Rigorous quantitative analysis of these issues is often missing, however, and the groundwater economics literature fails to address the role of these types of institutions. This paper explores how the physical properties of the groundwater resource affect the incentives of...
Abstract Groundwater is a largely unseen common pool resource. Yet, driven by strong economic incentives, whether or not encouraged existing policies, and the difficulty to exclude others, groundwater users are competing with each other extract as much possible, devastating consequences for its sustainability. The challenges faced sustainably managing such resources, on which people have establ...
• International agricultural trade relies on groundwater for irrigation in many places the world. Increase of food exports has improved local and global security. Current practices are mostly unsustainable contribute to severe degradation groundwater. More robust water resource planning, management, use necessary. Water energy data collection should be inform efficiency policies.
