The contributions from terrestrial water sources to sea-level rise, other than ice caps and glaciers, are highly uncertain and heavily debated1–5. Recent assessments indicate that groundwater depletion (GWD) may become the most important positive terrestrial contribution6–10 over thenext 50years, probably equal in magnitude to the current contributions from glaciers and ice caps6. However, the ...

Regarding to increased use of groundwater resources, it seems necessary to have more accurate knowledge of characteristics of aquifers in order to improved usage and accurate management of these resources. In this study, we simulated groundwater flow of Qazvin aquifer usingVisual MODFLOW model, collecting data and statistics, as well as using different studies. The simulation model has operated...

High arsenic in natural groundwater in most of the tubewells of the PurbasthaliBlock II area of Burdwan district (W.B, India) has recently been focused as a serious environmental concern. This paper is intending to illustrate the statistical modeling of the arsenic contaminated groundwater to identify the interrelation of that arsenic contain with other participating groundwater parameters so t...

Eddy correlation measurements of CO2 exchange (F) were made in intensively managed peat pastures at 2 different groundwater tables during most of a growing season. F was separated into a respiratory (Fr) and an assimilatory (Fa) CO2 flux. The fit of the Arrhenius temperature response to Fr showed that Fr was generally higher at low groundwater tables. The fit of a hyperbolic irradiance response...

Since the introduction of private tubewells in rural Pakistan, farmers have increasingly used groundwater to supplement canal water for irrigation and improve the reliability of the water supply. Farmers obtain groundwater either from their own tubewells or from other well owners. This paper examines the effect of private tubewells on rural income, both in terms of income level and income distr...

This study presents a Fuzzy Markov groundwater pollution potential assessment approach to facilitate landfill siting analysis. Landfill siting is constrained by various regulations and is complicated by the uncertainty of groundwater related factors. The conventional static rating method cannot properly depict the potential impact of pollution on a groundwater table because the groundwater tabl...

Anomalous groundwater changes started three months before the 2011 M9.0 Off the Pacific coast of the Tohoku Earthquake (Tohoku EQ), Japan. Groundwater level and temperature decreased almost simultaneously in a 2000-m well at a spa, Goyo-onsen, in Iwate Prefecture, 155 km northwest of the epicenter. Since the source of Goyo-onsen, located above the edge of a coseismic rupture area of the Tohoku ...

10 The use of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is increasingly advocated as a tool for supporting 11 water planning decisions, in particular at the local (site) level. This paper questions whether 12 CBA is relevant for evaluating groundwater management options at the scale of large 13 regional aquifers. It highlights the difficulties related to estimating the cost of groundwater 14 protection and r...

iran is among the world’s arid and semi-arid regions and its demand for water has been increased due topopulation growth, urbanization and the development the economic sectors (industrial and agricultural). inmany of these regions, the lack of planning and the unauthorized use of resources have led to excessiveexploitation and a lower level of groundwater. the usable groundwater for the country...
