Abstract Within the Ararat Valley (Armenia), a continuously growing water demand (for irrigation and fish farming) simultaneous decline in groundwater recharge (due to climate change) result increasing stress on local resources. This detrimental development is reflected by groundwater-level drops an associated reduction of area with artesian conditions valley centre. situation calls for efforts...

The increase in the number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients from the north central region of Sri Lanka has become a environmental health issue of national concern. Unlike in other countries where long-standing diabetes and hypertension are the leading causes of renal diseases, the majority of CKD patients from this part of Sri Lanka do not show any identifiable cause. As the disease is ...

Abstract In Bantul, Southern Yogyakarta, groundwater is the main source of domestic water needs. Therefore, knowing hydrogeochemistry crucial in order to manage a sustainable resource. To characterize compelling geochemical processes that control chemistry, further hydrogeochemical examinations were directed area. Thirty samples collected from shallow dug wells during early dry season (April 20...

Abstract. Climate warming has significantly changed the hydrological cycle in cold regions, especially areas with permafrost or seasonal frost. Groundwater flow and its interactions surface water are essential components of process. However, few studies modeling works have been based on long-term field observations groundwater level, temperature, hydrogeochemistry, isotopic tracers from borehol...

A new method for simulating solute transport and geochemical interactions within fractured rock is presented. This will be an important capability assessing the safety of radioactive waste disposal facilities that are located crystalline bedrock. Specifically, discrete fracture network (DFN) module ConnectFlow groundwater flow software has been updated to: (i) simulate advection diffusion more ...

The Port del Comte Massif (SE, Pyrenees) contains one of the most important vulnerable and strategic karst aquifers for supplying freshwater to city Barcelona (Spain). It is a fragile system, whose possible environmental impact highly conditioned by land use. To improve hydrogeological knowledge between September 2013 October 2015, detailed fieldwork was carried out revision geological model, i...
