in developing and newly industrialized countries, population growth and migration contribute immensely to the development of megacities and mega urban areas. in most cases, the rapid development ofcities has far-reaching consequences for the ecosystem in general and the hydrological cycle in particular. the developments in china within the last decades show an interesting, but complex setting. ...

The present study aims to develop a new hybrid Fuzzy Simulink model to assess the groundwater quality levels in Tiruchirappalli city, South India. Water quality management is an important issue in the modern times. The data collected for Tiruchirappalli city have been utilized to develop the approach. This is illustrated with seventy nine groundwater samples collected from Tiruchirappalli city ...

determining vulnerable areas of malekan plain aquifer for nitrate, using random forest method introduction:management of groundwater, especially in dry regions such as iran, is essential and this concern becomes further with development of agriculture, industry, population growth and climate changes, that affecting the quality and quantity of groundwater resources. hence, groundwater contaminat...

Groundwater vulnerability assessment is of crucial importance for land use/cover management. Some methods have been proposed specifically for the karst hydrogeological settings. Among them, COP and PaPRIKa, as two commonly applied recent methods, were adopted for the resource vulnerability assessment of a humid temperate karst region, north of Iran. Comparison of water bacterial content and dis...

Indicators, for groundwater resources, have mostly been employed to define the present status and the degradation tendency, regarding both quantity (under- or overexploitation) and quality (natural and anthropic contamination). This work presents the application of indicators in order to draw a picture of the groundwater resources situation in the 22 Water Resource Management Units (WRMU) of th...

Groundwater pollution in karst areas is often the result of interaction hydrogeological characteristics and human activities. In this study, a chimeric evaluation system groundwater vulnerability load was constructed, contamination risk intuitively displayed using map. The study area located Qiannan, typical Southwest China. mainly calculated PLEIK model. Pollution source evaluated classificati...

Urban groundwater development was traditionally constrained by concerns about its quality. This study was conducted in the regions of La Ribera Alta and Ribera Baja and La Plana de Requena-Utiel of the Valencian Community (Valencia, Spain) where population density, demand for drinking water and agricultural activities are high. Groundwater bodies (GWBs) are regarded as management areas within e...
