This study represents the first investigation of microbiological groundwater pollution as a function of aquifer type and season for the Apulia region of southern Italy. Two hundred and seven wells were randomly selected from those monitored by the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection for emergency use. Both compulsory (Escherichia coli, Total Coliform, and Enterococci) and optional (Pse...

Abstract Pétrola Lake in southeast Spain is one of the most representative examples hypersaline wetlands southern Europe. The rich ecosystem and environmental importance this lake are closely associated with hydrogeological behaviour system. wetland fed by underlying aquifer relatively fresh groundwater—1 g L −1 total dissolved solids (TDS)—with a centripetal direction towards wetland. In addit...

Accurate salt interpretation involves an integration of geology and geophysics. In the practice of salt interpretation and model building in depth imaging, we see two problems that could happen: exclusive geophysical interpretation without geological input and insufficient geological interpretation without understanding how the geophysical data are processed and without evaluating the limit and...

Abstract The relationship between prehistoric populations and water is often poorly understood, partly as a function of historical reliance on qualitative fragmentary datasets in many regions. Here, we adopt quantitative approach to analyze specific aspect the for Cotswold Hills, southwest UK; an area documented hydrogeological change extensive Neolithic (ca. 5.5 ka) activity. Using database al...

research is one of the most important ways of science production (1). the purpose of research is exploring the unknown and explaining the variables that affect the human life. in the health sciences the purpose of which is health promotion, research is valued as much as human life (2). in many scientific texts, there is an emphasis on the importance of health researches in the quality of human ...

Rock physics models allow establishing a physical-mathematical relation between rock and fluid properties and geophysical attributes. In this study, we propose to apply rock physics models to a geophysical dataset measured at two well locations near the proposed Snake River Plain FORGE site in eastern Idaho. The potential target is a rhyolite layer, which occurs between 2,000 and 3,000 m. The a...

Details of Earth’s shallow subsurface—a key component of the critical zone (CZ)—are largely obscured because making direct observations with sufficient density to capture natural characteristic spatial variability in physical properties is difficult. Yet this inaccessible region of the CZ is fundamental to processes that support ecosystems, society, and the environment. Geophysical methods prov...

[1] There is increasing interest in the use of multiple measurement types, including indirect (geophysical) methods, to constrain hydrologic interpretations. To date, most examples integrating geophysical measurements in hydrology have followed a three‐step, uncoupled inverse approach. This approach begins with independent geophysical inversion to infer the spatial and/or temporal distribution ...
