Groundwater is an essential water resource in the current era, and studying its sustainability management highly necessary nowadays. In area of research interest, reduced mean annual Sutlej River flow, increase population/built-up areas, enhanced groundwater abstractions have recharge. To address this issue, recharge modeling through ponding was carried out using a modular three-dimensional fin...

This study aimed to control land subsidence by improving the groundwater balance in Varamin plain using Groundwater Modelling System software and a multi-criteria decision model. For this purpose, aquifer level quantification rate simulation were performed with MODFLOW model SUB package, respectively. The results showed 6 m decrease over 5-year period central parts was 37 cm. Accordingly,...

Seawater intrusion represents a high risk for the water supply, agriculture and industry activities in lower Seybouse region of North-Eastern Algeria. In order to analyze this risk, three-dimensional model was developed using MODFLOW MT3DMS codes predict seawater coastal aquifer. The application indicates that groundwater withdrawals result continuous decrease level an increase chloride concent...

This study proposes a linked simulation–optimization model to solve the groundwater pumping cost minimization problem for existing and new wells to satisfy any given water demand. The proposed model integrates MODFLOW-2000 with HS-Solver which is a recently proposed global–local hybrid optimization algorithm that integrates heuristic harmony search (HS) algorithm with the spreadsheet Solver add...

Experience has shown that one of the most common reasons permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) fail to meet performance criteria is inadequate understanding of the groundwater flow system. For example, contaminated water may flow around the ends of the barrier or funnelling slurry walls, under the barrier walls, or through the slurry walls. An analysis of the groundwater flow regime resulting from...

the groundwater resources of the urmia plain have been under intensive tension for the last recent years. this has caused the production and observation wells to become dry and in some local places well deepening to take place. in some other locations, the groundwater level is high and there is a danger of local water logging condition along with its associated drainage work. for the settlement...

The effect of future climate scenarios on surface and groundwater resources was simulated using a modeling approach for an artificial recharge area in arid southern Iran. Future climate data for the periods of 2010–2030 and 2030–2050 were acquired from the Canadian Global Coupled Model (CGCM 3.1) for scenarios A1B, A2, and B1. These scenarios were adapted to the studied region using the delta-c...
