Coal combustion residuals (CCRs), the largest industrial waste in the United States, are mainly stored in surface impoundments and landfills. Here, we examine the geochemistry of seeps and surface water from seven sites and shallow groundwater from 15 sites in five states (Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina) to evaluate possible leaking from coal ash ponds. The assessmen...

An early warning system has been developed for groundwater flooding and trialled in the Patcham area of Brighton. It provides a fit-for-purpose approach for forecasting groundwater flood events in the Chalk and is capable of operating across longer time scales than had previously been possible. The method involves a set of nested steps or tasks. Initially, the catchment’s response to recharge i...

It is over two decades that groundwater flow models are routinely implemented for better management of groundwater resources.Modeling groundwater flow with the help of the ground water modeling system (GMS) in the Damghan plain aquifer in northern Iran,which experiences declining levels and numerous environmental hazards, has demonstrated that, (a) in the worst case scenario theaquifer will fac...

[1] We integrate groundwater geochemistry, mineralogy, and numerical modeling techniques to study the reactive transport of heavy metals and isotopes in the Eutaw coastal plain aquifer, Alabama. Geochemical data show that the elevated concentrations of Fe, Mn, and Sr can be correlated with high pH and alkalinity. These geochemical correlations suggest that that elevated metal concentrations may...

The City ofRostov the Great (Rostov) is one of the oldest cities in the Russian Federation. Many buildings need to be restored due to advanced degradation of the wooden and stone foundations. This degradation and other environmental problems are in large part caused by high groundwater levels, which are in turn directly associated with human activity over the years. Technical analyses were comp...

Groundwater from the coastal aquifers north of Chennai is being pumped since 1981 to meet the increasing demand. Huge groundwater extracting in the coastal aquifers groundwater causes lowering of groundwater table which led to seawater intrusion. The objective of this study is to assess the behavior of this aquifer to seawater intrusion under different hydrological stresses by groundwater model...

In this study, possible sources of extremely high concentrations of arsenic (reaching as high as 561.5 μg/L) in the shallow groundwater of Simav plain, Turkey is studied in order to understand probable mechanisms of contamination. It has been found out that the major source of arsenic in groundwater is arsenic containing geological formations in and around the vicinity of the plain. However, th...

Water resources managers can benefit from accurate prediction of the availability of groundwater. In this project I present two models to predict groundwater levels in an unconfined shallow aquifer in the Searsville basin, part of the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. The input data (ie, features) for the models includes local weather, lake stage, and stream flow data, and moving averages of th...

High levels of inorganic compounds in groundwater represent a significant problem many parts the world, with major economic, social and environmental drawbacks [...]

Jinan is a famous spring city in China. Construction of underground metro system may block groundwater seepage, inducing the depletion risk of springs. This paper presents an assessment of the risk due to metro line construction to groundwater in Jinan City using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic International System (GIS). Based on the characteristics of hydrogeology and engineer...
