Evaluation of Riverbank Hydraulic Conductivity: Implications for Groundwater Recharge

Three-dimensional hydraulic conductivity upscaling in groundwater modeling

The main point of this paper is to propose a non-local three-dimensional hydraulic conductivity full tensor upscaling algorithm and code. The algorithm is capable of transforming very refined cell conductivity models into coarse block conductivity models for quick and accurate solution of the groundwater flow equation. Flow rate and hydraulic head gradient are the variables used to relate the o...

Hydraulic aspects of riverbank filtration—field studies

The Düsseldorf waterworks have been using riverbank filtration since 1870 with bank filtration as the most important source for public water supply in this densely populated and industrialised region. There have been many threats to this supply in the last few decades—e.g. poor river water quality, heavy clogging of the riverbed, accidental pollution—which had to be overcome. First field studie...

Groundwater modeling for estimation of the recharge rate and identification of appropriate recharge sites in Damghan Plain, Iran

Water is the main option of any development, so having an accurate management of groundwater is necessary. This study has been done in Damghan sedimentary plain in Iran, which is located in northwest of Semnan Province. The main objective of this research was to estimate the rate and right site of recharge in Damghan plain to prevent the aquifer from decreasing the water table. For this purpose...
