Seepage meters, like most benthic flux chamber techniques, come with inherent concerns about how their presence may alter the environment and flow regimen of the benthic boundary layer and underlying sediments. Flow due to wave and current movement across topographic features induces a downward and upward flow field within the sediments surrounding the feature. We found this Bernoulli-induced f...

[1] A new seepage meter design that increases sensitivity to the small hydraulic gradients that drive submarine groundwater discharge was developed as an inexpensive alternative to traditional seepage meters. The new design replaces seepage meter bags with open-ended tubing through which the displacement of injected dye is a highly reproducible measure of discharge. Laboratory measurements, det...

In recent years, many disasters due to floods have occurred around the world. In some cases, the level of river water exceeded the estimated high-water level. It is necessary, therefore, to reconsider the evaluation method for river dike embankments during floods for the safety of the embankments. In this study, a deformation analysis is proposed that can simultaneously consider the unsaturated...

Lessening the leakage of surface water can reduce the waste of water resources and ground water pollution. To solve the problem that Mengxi River could not store water enduringly, geology investigation, theoretical analysis, experiment research, and numerical simulation analysis were carried out. Firstly, the seepage mathematical model was established based on unsaturated seepage theory; second...

In regions where rivers are not perennial or have low flow conditions during most part of the year(like banks of the Yellow River), the seepage wells are placed in the riverbed to obtain uninterrupted supply of naturally filtered groundwater through highly permeable saturated riverbed aquifers. Due to the complexities of flow, no exact analytical solution exists to provide steady state discharg...

Seepage-face boundaries are common features of unconfined ground water flow. These boundaries exist at the intersection of an unconfined aquifer and a surface water body such as a lake, river, or wetland. The existence of a seepage-face boundary is necessary to provide a physical transition between the internal water-table boundary and the external equipotential boundary when an unconfined aqui...

seepage analysis through earth dams is employed to determine the water loss. moreover, as the magnitude of pore pressure in dam body is calculated using seepage analysis, this analysis plays an important role on the stability analysis in these types of structures. as the hydraulic conductivity of the earth dam materials, is considered as one of the effective parameters on the magnitude of seepa...

seepage in earth fill dams is one of the important factors that may cause the erosion and slope instability if it is ignored. therefore, it is crucial to calculate the leakage discharge through the body of dam and foundation, to prevent economic and life hazards by considering technical and economical issues. in this research, the seepage analysis of the body and the stability of the upstream a...
