The geochemical characteristics of a near shore inland aquifer system have been investigated in the Coastal Aquifer Test Field (CAT-Field) between Bremerhaven and Cuxhaven in the Northern Part of Germany which is described by Kessels et al.(this issue). Groundwater and sediment samples from the aquifer were taken at different locations on the flank of a glacial channel at depths between 5 and 1...

Nowadays, it is vital to pay attention more seriously to the urban environmental risks because of its effects on citizens' lives. One of these problems is groundwater pollution which threatens much valuable water resources. Drinking water in Qom City is provided from different resources, such as watersheds and water wells which are located within the city. Although there is a shortage of water ...

Due to the limited reach of drinking-water delivery network, Yaoundé’s surrounding communities (such as Nkoabang) rely on well water, boreholes, and springs. This study conducted a Thornthwaite water-balance analysis in watershed order understand its hydrology capability investigated influence flows infiltrations recharge aquifer Nkoabang (Centre Region, Cameroon). The methodology this work con...

Quantitative changes in groundwater and crises resulting from uncontrolled water extraction have turned water resources management into one of the supply-demand dilemmas in arid regions. The present study evaluated the quantitative situation of water resources in the Ardestan Plain adjoining the Ardestan desert by using the MODFLOW mathematical model. Simulation of groundwater flow in the stead...

This contribution presents the hydrochemical and isotopic characterisation of the phreatic aquifer located in the Partido de la Costa, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the sand-dune barrier geomorphological environment, groundwater is mainly a low-salinity Ca-HCO3 and Na-HCO3-type, being in general suitable for drinking, whereas in the continental plain (silty clay sediments), groundwate...

mrs method is one of the new geophysical methods that directly detects the groundwater. by using this method, one can determines some parameters of aquifer (porosity, permeability and transmissivity). the purpose of this research is the application of mrs method in the conductive ground. combination of mrs and rs method is used for better detection of the aquifer in the region of abyek located ...

The nomenclature for Kansas aquifers needs revision. Many of the names currently in use were derived in an ad hoc manner without the benefit of a consistent set of hydrogeologically based guidelines. Because nomenclature forms the basis of scientific discussion of hydrologic issues, names should be clearly defined and consistently applied in order to prevent erroneous or unintended hydrologic i...

DOI 10.1007/s10040-002-0225-5 Abstract Suzhou City, located at the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in southeastern Jiangsu Province, is one of the few cities in China which suffer from severe ground settlement. A research project was carried out to investigate this problem. Geological and hydrogeological studies show that there is a multi-layered aquifer system with three distinct, soft mud ...
