As climate change is growing, water security becomes an urgent challenge in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), most scarce region world (World Bank, 2018; UN Water, 2020). Algeria one of these countries under large stresses (Kwasi & Cilliers, The stress index poor with a availability ratio 411 m3/cap/year. Forecasts estimate value 300 m3/cap/year 2050 (Falkenmark et al., 1989; Kherbac...

This article explores the status of research in hydrogeol-ogy using data mining techniques. First we try to explain what citation analysis is and review some of the previous work on citation analysis. The main idea in this article is to address some common issues about citation numbers and the use of these data. To validate the use of citation numbers, we compare the citation patterns for Water...

The field of hydrogeology is primarily concerned with the flow of water below the ground surface and with transport, normally of solutes and heat, within that water. Many disciplines have contributed to this endeavor which requires skills from across the spectrum of science, engineering and beyond. The diffusion equation describes not only solute transport but also the flow of water, via Darcy’...
