This paper investigates the relationship between river flow, rainfall and groundwater pumpage in the Mikkes stream during the period 1968-2009. The Mikkes basin is located in the north center of Morocco and consists of three different zones that represent diversified geologies. This basin includes a phreatic and confined aquifer in Saïs basin and a shallow aquifer in the Tabular Middle Atlas. A...

There are many factors that affect the groundwater contamination in the highway environment. This paper reports a 2-dimensional numerical simulation of the movement of contamination with water into the sub-grade and water table beneath a road to determine the major factors affecting transport of contaminants. The modelling parameters were assembled from various literature sources and 8 scenario...

Compared to surface water, groundwater resources are the primary source of water supply in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran, hence the importance of the management of these resources .  In this regard, we assessed the effects of landuse changes on the qualitative and quantitative status of groundwater resources in Eshtehard region, Iran. Through processing and analyzing the satellite images, ...

In uncon®ned aquifers ¯owing under topographic gradients, the water table is a subdued replica of the ground surface above. This principle is the basis for using detailed collateral or secondary information from digital elevation models to supplement sparse observations from water wells in the mapping of phreatic surfaces. Data from DEM-derived secondary variables are incorporated into the esti...

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination of ground water is a significant and often complex problem. The complexity results from the fact that ground-water contamination is a product of soil contamination. Especially with older spills, significant amounts of hydrocarbons can be trapped below the water table. Traditional pump and treat is ineffective because of the low solubility of trapped oily phas...

Soft Computing tools are becoming very popular in solving hydrological problems. These tools have immense strength to deal with such complex problems. Water Table elevation estimation is an important aspect to understand the mechanism of ground water resources. The present study aims at the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) & Fuzzy logic for simulation of water table elevation. Th...

Different techniques for estimating seasonal water use from soil profile water depletion frequently do not account for flux below the root zone. Shallow water table contribution to supply crop water use may be important in arid and semi-arid regions. Development of predictive root uptake models, under influence of shallow water table makes it possible for planners to incorporate interaction bet...

The hierarchy of models applicable to transient free surface problems of ground water ̄ow to drains is discussed. The model choice is related to drain type and dewatering stage. Flow pattern is illustrated to vary with decrease of the water table. Simulation of drains and corresponding boundary conditions are discussed. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

For regional models, the shallow water table surface is often used as a source/sink boundary condition, as model grid scale precludes simulation of the water table aquifer. This approach is appropriate when the water table surface is relatively stationary. Since water table surface maps are not readily available, the elevation of the water table used in model cells is estimated via a two-step p...
