Facies reconstructions are used in hydrogeology to improve the interpretation of aquifer permeability.. In the absence of sufficient data to define the heterogeneity due to geological processes, uncertainties in the distribution of aquifer hydrofacies and characteristics may appear. Geometric and geostatistical methods are used to understand and model aquifer hydrofacies distribution, providing...

vulnerability and contamination risk assessment is of great importance in karst aquifer management. because of vastness of karst in zagros, natural conditions and human activity within the region of aquifer, pollution emission has become one of the most important challenges in front of zagros aquifers. the purpose of this study is to assess marab aquifer vulnerability, using riske model and, de...

introduction because of expansion of agricultural activities and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and location of municipal and industrial wastewater of andimeshk, it is possible for this aquifer to be polluted. therefore, the aim of present study is to assess the aquifer vulnerability of andimeshk plain and recognition of sensitive areas against pollution which this work can be conducted ...

in this work, studies of underground gas storage (ugs) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. results showed that di...

We present a semi-analytical solution for the transient streaming potential response of a confined aquifer to pumping at a constant rate through a fully-penetrating line sink. Confined aquifer flow is assumed to occur without fluid leakage from the confining units and is thus described by the solution of Theis (1935). The confining units, which are typically more electrically conductive than th...

[1] This study presents a stochastic inverse method for aquifer structure identification using sparse geophysical and hydraulic response data. The method is based on updating structure parameters from a transition probability model to iteratively modify the aquifer structure and parameter zonation. The method is extended to the adaptive parameterization of facies hydraulic parameters by includi...

1-introduction one of the problems that is important in the waste management is the topic of waste rural landfill site selection and latex resulting from that in rural areas. the latex can be because groundwater pollution the contamination vulnerability and groundwater protection assessment has proved to be an effective tool for the delineation of protection zones in area affected by groundwate...

Pollutants in groundwater aquifers may constitute a significant human health risk. A large variation in response may result among human populations experiencing the same level and duration of exposure to pollutants. Variability in response, as a result of exposure to a carcinogenic contaminant such as trichloroethylene (TCE), can be represented by a distribution function of safe doses. Spatial ...

A novel methodology for the interpretation of pumping tests in leaky aquifer systems, referred to as the double inflection point (DIP) method, is presented. The method is based on the analysis of the first and second derivatives of the drawdown with respect to log time for the estimation of the flow parameters. Like commonly used analysis procedures, such as the type-curve approach developed by...
