Based on geomorphic observations, we discuss lake-level fluctuations, alluvial deposition and river entrenchment in the Dead Sea–Wadi Araba area. The bulk of alluvium in the northern Wadi Araba was probably deposited before the Lisan period of lake transgression that started at about 70 kyears B.P. The lake reached a maximum elevation about 150 m below sea level (b.s.l.), possibly around 15 cal...

Rivers around the world are being regulated by dams to accommodate the needs of a rapidly growing global population. These regulatory efforts usually oppose the natural tendency of rivers to flood, move sediment, and migrate. Although an economic benefit, river regulation has come at unforeseen and unevaluated cumulative ecological costs. Historic and contemporary approaches to remedy environme...

the appearance of sowbugs (hemilepistus shirazi schuttz) in the sedimentation basins of the artificial recharge of groundwater (arg) systems in the gareh bygone plain (gbp) in southern iran is considered an ecological breakthrough in desertification control. this study was performed at the kowsar floodwater spreading and aquifer management research, training and extension station in gbp, 200 km...

Alluvial aquifers in mountainous regions cover typically a limited area. Their contribution to catchment storage and outflow is rarely isolated; alluvial groundwater discharge under gauging stations is generally assumed negligible; and hydrological models tend to lump alluvial storage with other units. The role of alluvial aquifers remains therefore unclear: can they contribute significantly to...

Abstract. Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) allows displacements to be detected with millimeter accuracy as well more advanced methods, such Persistent Scatterer (PSI). Sentinel-1 data have been collected systematically under the COPERNICUS program at a high temporal resolution global coverage, helping us build wide user community and develop miscellaneous SAR-based ...

Nitrate nitrogen pollution in groundwater can be understood from three viewpoints: generation sources, mobility, and elimination effects (natural purification effects). Alluvial fans are often utilized for farmland where nitrate fertilizer (pollutant source) may used. pollutants readily spread at alluvial two controlling factors pollutant mobility high: permeability hydraulic gradient of ground...
