Incorporation of groundwater pumping in a global Land Surface Model with the representation of human impacts
Observations indicate that groundwater levels are declining in many regions around the world. Simulating such depletion of groundwater at the global scale still remains a challenge because most global Land Surface Models (LSMs) lack the physical representation of groundwater dynamics in general and well pumping in particular. Here we present an integrated hydrologic model, which explicitly simu...
متن کاملLand subsidence induced by groundwater extraction: the case of Bologna
A comprehensive investigation of the subsidence induced in the area of Bologna (Italy) by groundwater extraction is presented. Initially, the geological pattern of the region is reviewed in order to identify the large scale subsoil features governing the water flow regime and the ground displacements. Several types of data, covering the different aspects of the problem are then combined into a ...
متن کاملRelease of arsenic to deep groundwater in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, linked to pumping-induced land subsidence.
Deep aquifers in South and Southeast Asia are increasingly exploited as presumed sources of pathogen- and arsenic-free water, although little is known of the processes that may compromise their long-term viability. We analyze a large area (>1,000 km(2)) of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, in which arsenic is found pervasively in deep, Pliocene-Miocene-age aquifers, where nearly 900 wells at depths of...
متن کاملOffshore/Onshore foundation programs: student perspective
This presentation reports on a study of the educational quality and cultural sensitivity of foundation programs operated by Australian universities. The initial phase of the project, that involved a literature review and interviews with coordinators, identified two key issues: the quality of education and cultural sensitivity. Quality of education included academic standards of offshore courses...
متن کاملLand subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal: potential damage of subsidence and sea level rise in southern New Jersey, USA
Land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal combined with a global sea level rise creates a serious environmental problem in the coastal region. Groundwater withdrawal results in fluid pressure change in the layers. The pressure change in the layers induces both elastic and inelastic land compaction. The elastic compaction can be recovered if the water level rises again and inelastic compacti...
