2 Abstract The chemical and isotopic compositions of river and groundwater reflect the different natural processes that provide chemical elements to the dissolved load, i.e. mainly the weathering of rocks and soils, atmospheric inputs and anthropogenic disturbances. This study reports on the geochemistry of surface-and groundwater along a part of the Subarnarekha River system (northeastern Indi...

Inflow/infiltration (I/I) and infiltration/exfiltration (I/E) are interactive processes which dynamically affect sewer and groundwater performance. The incidence and condition of "critical" sewers in the UK are identified together with methods of quantifying I/I and I/E as well as their impact on wet weather sewer performance and on urban groundwater pollution. Whilst the impacts of sewer trenc...

This paper discusses the numerical simulation of groundwater ow through heterogeneous porous media The focus is on the performance of a parallel multigrid preconditioner for accelerating convergence of conjugate gradients which is used to compute the pressure head The numerical investigation considers the e ects of boundary conditions coarse grid solver strategy increasing the grid resolution e...

In situ groundwater bioremediation of hydrocarbons has been used for more than 40 years. Most strategies involve biostimulation; however, recently bioaugmentation have been used for dehalorespiration. Aquifer and contaminant profiles are critical to determining the feasibility and strategy for in situ groundwater bioremediation. Hydraulic conductivity and redox conditions, including concentrati...

The Eastland Woolen Mill (EWM), which straddled the East Branch of the Sebasticook River in Corinna, Maine, was listed on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National Priority List in July of 1999. The site is currently undergoing clean-up activities. The United States Army Corps of Engineers New England District is managing site activities under a cooperative interagency ...

Little is known about the importance of drainage/irrigation channels and biogeochemical processes in arsenic distribution of shallow groundwaters from the Hetao basin. This investigation shows that although As concentrations are primarily dependent on reducing conditions, evaporation increases As concentration in the centre of palaeo-lake sedimentation. Near drainage channels, groundwater As co...

The distributional pattern of dissolved arsenic concentrations from landfill plumes can provide clues to the source of arsenic contamination. Under simple idealized conditions, arsenic concentrations along flow paths in aquifers proximal to a landfill will decrease under anthropogenic sources but potentially increase under in situ sources. This paper presents several conceptual distributional p...

In this paper, two centrifugal model tests (case 1: raft foundation, case 2: 2x2 piled raft foundation) were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of ground subsidence on load sharing among piles and raft and settlement of raft and piled raft foundations. For each case, two conditions consisting of undrained (without groundwater pumping) and drained (with groundwater pumping) conditions wer...
