Consider the geology in hydrogeology

Groundwater Modelling: from Geology to Hydrogeology

Three-dimensional mapping has extensively developed in the last decade; geological mapping being the area where these developments are more striking. 3D geological mapping has a myriad of applications in the domains of basin analysis, geophysics, geostatistics, geothermal and energy resources, etc. A parallel domain of development has been three-dimensional groundwater modelling: regional groun...

Geomatics in hydrogeology

Design and construction of hydrogeological information systems is now a necessity. For proper functionality of these systems, it is necessary to create them in accordance with widely accepted international standards regarding geospatial information. Geomatics research tools allow for creation of basic models of hydrogeological data, consistent with these standards. The models can be based upon ...

Diffusion in Hydrogeology

The field of hydrogeology is primarily concerned with the flow of water below the ground surface and with transport, normally of solutes and heat, within that water. Many disciplines have contributed to this endeavor which requires skills from across the spectrum of science, engineering and beyond. The diffusion equation describes not only solute transport but also the flow of water, via Darcy’...

The future of applied tracers in hydrogeology

Tracing techniques have a broad application in science and have demonstrated particular usefulness in hydrogeology. Applied tracers, which are defined as non-natural constituents that are intentionally introduced, are especially powerful investigative tools because the tracer application (or source term) is controlled and well characterized. This permits quantification of transport parameters a...
