Simplicity versus complexity in modelling groundwater recharge in Chalk catchments

Simplicity versus complexity in modelling groundwater recharge in Chalk catchments

Models of varying complexity are available to provide estimates of recharge in headwater Chalk catchments. Some measure of how estimates vary between different models can help guide the choice of model for a particular application. This paper compares recharge estimates derived from four models employing input data at varying spatial resolutions for a Chalk headwater catchment (River Pang, UK) ...

Groundwater Vulnerability to Pollution in Urban Catchments

Pathogen survival in groundwater during artificial recharge

Wastewater can be regarded as a valuable resource that can be re­ used in various ways, creating more sustainable societies which can benefit both human communities and the environment. An issue when using reclaimed water is the potential presence of health hazards such as microbial pathogens. The presence of pathogens can often impact on the type of water reclamation project selected. Artifici...

Infilterability Reduction of Artificial Recharge of Groundwater System in a Desert in the Absence of Sowbugs

Floodwater spreading for the artificial recharge of groundwater (ARG) is a logical alternative to build large dams for water resources management in dry environments so that it not only enhances water security, but also reclaims the degraded land due to the settlement of suspended load on the spreaders. However, translocation of very fine clay minerals existing in floodwater decreases the infil...
