In present study 30 groundwater samples were collected from Sarpol-e Zahab area, Kermanshah province of Iran in order to assess the quality of groundwater in subjected area and determining its suitability for drinking and agricultural purposes. Also the variations in the quality levels of groundwater were compared over the years of 2015 and 2016. Statistical analyses including Spearman correlat...

Models need not be complex to be useful. An existing groundwater-flow model of Salt Lake Valley, Utah, was adapted for use with convolution-based advective particle tracking to explain broad spatial trends in dissolved solids. This model supports the hypothesis that water produced from wells is increasingly younger with higher proportions of surface sources as pumping changes in the basin over ...

[1] Temperature reconstructions for recent centuries are the basis of estimations of the natural variability in the climate system before and during the onset of anthropogenic perturbation. Here we present, for the first time, an independent and physically based reconstruction of mean annual temperature over the past half millennium obtained from groundwater in France. The reconstructed noble g...

To assess the influence of storage dynamics and nonlinearities in hydrological connectivity on time-variant stream water ages, we used a new long-term record of daily isotope measurements in precipitation and streamflow to calibrate and test a parsimonious tracer-aided runoff model. This can track tracers and the ages of water fluxes through and between conceptual stores in steeper hillslopes, ...

Modern portable gravimeters can routinely achieve a 5 ugal uncertainty with careful measurement procedures involving multiple station occupations in the same day, and stacking of readings over at least 15 minutes during each occupation. Although further improvements in gravimeter accuracy are feasible, other practical factors relating to repeat surveys of geothermal fields make such improvement...

The Willcox Basin is a hydrologically closed basin in semi-arid southeastern Arizona (USA) and, like many other alluvial basins in the southwestern USA, is characterized by oxic, near-neutral to slightly basic groun...

Groundwater flow and nutrient transport were studied in a riparian meadow during a three-year period. The meadow is situated along a first order stream in the River Gjern catchment area, Jutland, Denmark. Field data included measurements of hydraulic head, hydraulic conductivity and soil characteristics. Groundwater sampled from piezometers was analysed for nitrate, ammonium and phosphate. Nitr...
