Movement and flow velocity of groundwater in wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The movement and the flow velocity of groundwater were determined from data obtained from ten wells drilled in Derince district of Kocaeli, İzmit, Turkey. The data were determined on the basis of Darcy’s law. The depths and groundwater levels of the wells ranged from 16 to 115 m and from 3.90 to 25.10 m, and the maximum and the minimum discharge rates were determined to be 604.8 and 172.8 m3 day-1, respectively. The velocity of the groundwater varied between 21.6 and 75.6 m day-1. The filtration of the aquifer and the hydraulic slope affected the flow of the groundwater strongly. Pumping and the slope of the basement influenced strongly by the velocity of the groundwater.

The Khash alluvial aquifer, in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, supplies the water needed for agriculture, drinking, and industry in the Khash area. In order to predict the future status of groundwater level and water quality, and to find aquifer management solutions, groundwater flow and solute transport models were developed using MODFLOW and MT3DMS. GMS 10.3 was used to develop the model. Ca...
متن کاملThe implications of groundwater velocity variations on microbial transport and wellhead protection - review of field evidence.
Current strategies to protect groundwater sources from microbial contamination (e.g., wellhead protection areas) rely upon natural attenuation of microorganisms between wells or springs and potential sources of contamination and are determined using average (macroscopic) groundwater flow velocities defined by Darcy's Law. However, field studies of sewage contamination and microbial transport us...

The predictive capability of groundwater flow models is frequently restricted by insufficient characterisation of a typically heterogeneous and anisotropic subsurface. Trace levels of volatile organic compounds have been detected at municipal water supply wells in Gray, Maine. Groundwater flow modelling based on available hydrogeologic data defines a dominant W–E transport vector that is incons...

Abstract 1-introduction It is very important to study the quality of groundwater and the zoning of qualitative parameters for different uses. In some cases, this related to composition and Quaternary deposits. Groundwater is considered as an important source of water resources due to its low pollution potential as well as its high storage capacity compared to surface water. The chemical comp...
