Aquifer recharge presents advantages for integrated water management in the anthropic cycle, namely, advanced treatment of reclaimed water and additional dilution of pollutants due to mixing with natural groundwater. Nevertheless, this practice represents a health and environmental hazard because of the presence of pathogenic microorganisms and chemical contaminants. To assess the quality of wa...

I have been personally looking forward to many of us coming together again at EN21X for exceptional education, working in general assembly further our association, reuniting with friends, making new having fun, and recharging. Reunited, it feels so good! That is a line from the 1978 hit song by Peaches Herb, that phrase what humming as we prepare gather in-person virtually EN21X. will be reunio...

To develop electrical busses for applications with a fast recharge system in stations, PVI has been testing some electrical energy components like supercapacitors and batteries with high power density. Neverthless, supercapacitors limit average autonomy between two recharge points, due to their poor energy density. On the other side cycle life of batteries are very dependent on current. To surm...

The Kumamoto area, Kyushu, Japan has 1,041km in area and about 1milion in population. This area is a greatest area in Japan which depends on groundwater for all of drinking water. Quantity of this local groundwater use is about 200MCM during the year. It is understood that the main recharging area of groundwater exist in the rice field zone which have high infiltrate height ahead of 100mm/ day ...

Systems with energy harvesting capability from stochastic sources have been widely studied in the literature. However, the determination of the recharge time of such systems has not received as much attention as it deserves. Here, we examine the recharge time of a battery/super-capacitor when the energy arrival is discrete stochastic. We consider the cases when the energy storage system is mode...

The Nebraska SandHills is a vast grassland ecoregion that also serves as the main recharge zone for the High Plains (Ogallala) aquifer. Despite the national importance of this region in supplying irrigation water and supporting the US cattle industry, there have, until now, been no long-term, direct measurements of the components of the surface water balance. We have addressed this issue by ins...
