Wells screened across multiple aquifers can provide pathways for the movement of surprisingly large volumes of groundwater to confined aquifers used for public water supply (PWS). Using a simple numerical model, we examine the impact of several pumping scenarios on leakage from an unconfined aquifer to a confined aquifer and conclude that a single inactive multi-aquifer well can contribute near...

The unmanaged groundwater extraction and inadequate aquifer recharge is the major cause of groundwater depletion in different parts of the world. In this study, the groundwater flow system of Mahvelat-Feizabad aquifer (NE of Iran) has been numerically simulated using MODFLOW code in the GMS interface. The model, primarily, calibrated for steady state condition for the mean hydraulic values of o...

Diclofenac is a drug with an analgesic effect that accumulates and results in adverse consequences if it enters the human body more than needed. Low concentrations of diclofenac have been detected in different water sources through leachates of landfills and agricultural areas, human and animal excreta expired drug discharge and hospital effluents. To eliminate diclofenac from the aquatic e...

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...

with respect to population growth and agricultural development in ardabil plain, vulnerability assessment of the plain aquifer is necessary for management of groundwater resources and the prevention of groundwater contamination. in this study, vulnerability of ardabil plain aquifer to pollution was evaluated by drastic method. drastic model was prepared by seven effective parameters on vulnerab...

accurate groundwater level modeling and forecasting contribute to civil projects, land use, citys planning and water resources management. combined wavelet-artificial neural network (wann) model has been widely used in recent years to forecast hydrological and hydrogeological phenomena. this study investigates the sensitivity of the pre-processing to the wavelet type and decomposition level in ...
