The fate of nitrogen entering Long Island Sound Embayments is dependent on both volume of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and geochemical transformations in the coastal aquifer. Previous work in Stony Brook Harbor revealed the importance of sediment composition in the subtidal and offshore areas of the harbor; SGD rate in the subtidal is higher than offshore areas, but experiences only 30...

abstract: in this research, the relationship between geomorphologic factors with underground water resources in zahab plain (in west of kermanshah) has been analyzed using by analyzing-deducing and weighting methods. first, by using of pizometeric and exploratory well data, variation of water table in zahab plain has been comparative analysis with geomorphic unites and then, the zahab watershed...

Four local-scale sites in areas with similar corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] agriculture were studied to determine the effects of different hydrogeologic settings of the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain (NACP) on the transport of nutrients and pesticides in groundwater. Settings ranged from predominantly well-drained soils overlying thick, sandy surficial aquifers to pred...

The Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer is a shallow, predominantly unconfined aquifer that spans regions in southwestern British Columbia, Canada and northwestern Washington, USA. The aquifer is prone to nitrate contamination because of extensive regional agricultural practices. A 22-month ground water nitrate assessment was performed in a 10-km2 study area adjacent to the international boundary in north...

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...

The main aim of monitoring wells is to assess the conditions of groundwater quality in the aquifer system. An inappropriate distribution of sampling wells could produce insufficient or redundant data concerning groundwater quality. An optimal selection of representative monitoring well locations can be obtained by considering the natural and anthropogenic potential of pollution sources; the hyd...
