This study presents a Fuzzy Markov groundwater pollution potential assessment approach to facilitate landfill siting analysis. Landfill siting is constrained by various regulations and is complicated by the uncertainty of groundwater related factors. The conventional static rating method cannot properly depict the potential impact of pollution on a groundwater table because the groundwater tabl...

High arsenic in natural groundwater in most of the tubewells of the PurbasthaliBlock II area of Burdwan district (W.B, India) has recently been focused as a serious environmental concern. This paper is intending to illustrate the statistical modeling of the arsenic contaminated groundwater to identify the interrelation of that arsenic contain with other participating groundwater parameters so t...

the basics of quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics were used to predict the potential energy and intermolecular forces of asphaltene molecules. the parameters associated with the chemical structure were also estimated for a specific asphaltene molecule to predict the mie potential function. based on the structural results, a new form of the virial eos with peneloux correction was de...

Iran is among the world’s arid and semi-arid regions and its demand for water has been increased due topopulation growth, urbanization and the development the economic sectors (industrial and agricultural). Inmany of these regions, the lack of planning and the unauthorized use of resources have led to excessiveexploitation and a lower level of groundwater. The usable groundwater for the country...

The application of groundwater vulnerability methods has great importance for the sanitary protection zones delineation karstic sources. Source assessment karst mainly relied on European approach (European Cooperation in Science and Technology—COST action 620), which includes analysis K factor, refers to water flow through saturated zone system. In paper, two approaches have been applied, COP +...

[1] We integrate groundwater geochemistry, microbiology, and numerical modeling techniques to study the origin of elevated salinity and chemical evolution of groundwaters in the coastal plain aquifers of Alabama. Our field data indicate that chemical composition of groundwater evolves by various geochemical and microbial processes as it moves deeper into the subsurface. Sequential peaks of Ca, ...

The main goal of this study was to investigate the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), frequency ratio (FR), and certainty factor (CF) models for groundwater potential mapping using geographical information system (GIS) at Varamin Plain, Tehran province, Iran. In the first step, the groundwater conditioning factors such as altitude, slope angle, slope aspect, topographic witness index, rainfall...

This paper explores the implications of endogenous risk for the economic value of preventing groundwater contamination. We consider the analytical implications of endogenous risk for five key building blocks frequently used to structure studies of groundwater valuation: the probability and the location of contamination, the exposed population, risk perceptions, and intertemporal issues.
