The Tamarack State Wildlife Area in eastern Colorado is being investigated as a possible managed recharge project to redirect flows in the South Platte River for water quantity management. Two primary surface water/groundwater interactions exist at Tamarack: (1) between the South Platte River and alluvial aquifer and (2) between backwater sloughs, or secondary river channels, and the alluvial a...

Withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. Reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. Usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

ABSTRACT The compaction measurements of Quaternary and Tertiary Gulf Coast aquifer system sediments in the Houston-Galveston region (TX) show spatially variable compression 0.08 to 8.49 mm/yr because geohistorical overburden pressure when groundwater levels were stable after about year 2000. An aquifer-system creep equation is developed for evaluating this compression, with a thickness-weighted...

this research was performed to investigate the combined effect of soil salinity and compaction on some physiological characteristics of corn. for this purpose a factorial pot experiment on the basis of completely randomized design with three replications was performed. the experimental factors were three levels of soil salinity (saturated paste extract electrical conductivity 1.5, 2.5 and 4.5 d...

High rates of land subsidence, caused by groundwater overdraft, are resulting in millions dollars infrastructure damage California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV). In recent years, the use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has enabled us to substantially improve our understanding this subsidence. However, only very occasionally have InSAR data been integrated with a physical model sub...

Abstract—Adequate and reliable estimates of aquifer parameters are of utmost importance for proper management of vital groundwater resources. At present scenario, the ground water is polluted because of industrial waste disposed over the land and the contaminants are transported in the aquifer from one area to another area, which is depending on the characteristics of the aquifer and contaminan...
