The population concentration in coastal areas and the increase of groundwater discharge in combination with the peculiarities of karstic coastal aquifers constitute a huge worldwide problem, which is particularly relevant for coastal aquifers of the Mediterranean basin. This paper offers a review of scientific activities realized to pursue the optimal utilization of Apulian coastal groundwater....

Karst aquifers are a particular type of groundwater system that supplies drinking water in Puerto Rico, as well as in several U.S. regions and around the world. The karst aquifers contain cave systems that are vulnerable to contamination from toxic chemicals, such as TCE. This is because these contaminants tend to be trapped in the rock formations as nonaqueous phase liquids (known as NAPLs) an...

The rivers of south-eastern Australia flow within a complex meander tract (Coonambidgal Formation) formed by phases Quaternary stream activity. Pumping tests, hydrochemistry and groundwater monitoring the Campaspe, Loddon Murray River Valleys show that for significant parts their courses, associated strip aquifers form single integrated hydraulic unit perched above disconnected from regional wa...

The transboundary nature of water dividing Mexico and the United States (U.S.) transforms the entire border region into an instrument of cooperation, a source of conflict, a national security issue, and an environmental concern. Reasonable data collection and research analysis have been conducted for surface waters by joint governmental institutions and non-governmental bodies. However, with th...

Nearly 40 years ago, Neuman (1968) developed an analytical solution for drawdown in a system of three aquifers separated by two aquitards when one of the aquifers is pumped at a constant rate. Whereas the simpler case of two aquifers separated by one aquitard has been presented by Neuman and Witherspoon (1969a), the full five-layer solution has not been previously evaluated. We do so here using...

Ljubljansko polje and Ljubljansko Barje aquifers are the main groundwater resources for the needs of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Carbonate chemistry and isotope analysis of the groundwater were performed to acquire new hydrogeological data, which should serve as a base for improvement of hydrogeological conceptual models of both aquifers. A total of 138 groundwater samples were collecte...

Climate change will have both quantitative and qualitative effects on groundwater resources. These impacts differ for aquifers in solid unconsolidated rock, urban or rural locations, the principal processes of recharge. Having knowledge about intrinsic key parameters (aquifer geometries, storage properties, renewal rates, residence times, etc.), recharge processes, temperature imprinting makes ...

or as the ends of a boiv are drawn together." They have a legend that it visits the country every thirty years. The epidemic arrived in Bhamo in June last, having travelled up the Irrawaddy Yalley starting in Rangoon in May and visiting Mandalay during the early part of June. It is interesting to note this following of the important trade route. It is not unlikely that the epidemic originated f...

Increasing environmental pressures, pollution and legislation in Europe are creating the urgent need for regional-catchment scale geological models to assess hydrogeological conditions and inform mathematical and numerical groundwater models. Geological models are especially important in areas with superficial deposits overlying key aquifers. These areas are often characterized by very complex ...
