The alluvial plain of Sarvestan bears the sole source of potable water in Sarvestan county, Fars Province, Iran. In recent years, due to extended heavy pumping, the groundwater storage has been reduced continuously. The UNGWM (United Nation Ground Water Model) is used to evaluate the hydraulic characteristics of the Sarvestan aquifer and its future response to various regimes of recharge and di...

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...

r a 200 .004 esent ad Geoscien ox X, A +1 512 4 kherjee@ Summary Samples of deep groundwater, river water and rainwater were collected for dO and dH analyses from an area of 22,000 km in the arsenic-affected districts of West Bengal, India, in order to examine groundwater recharge. A plot of dO versus dH of groundwater falls subparallel to the constructed local meteoric water line (dH = 7.2 dO ...

Cloke et al. (2006) discuss an interesting topic of runoff generation, a central theme in hydrology. While their numerical experiment reproduced the physical experiment of Abdul and Gillham (1984) with good agreement, I feel that their proposed generalization of the model results to more realistic natural settings of riparian zones is not perfectly well supported. This is so because the stream ...

This paper describes an application of EnSym (Environmental SystemsModelling Platform) to assess the impacts of climate change on the groundwater levels in Victoria. EnSym is a modular and user-friendly software platform to facilitate the use of environmental modelling tools. It enables easy and rapid evaluation of environmental outcomes due to changes in land management and climatic conditions...

Water is the most important substance on Earth. While not a mineral itself, water rules the mineral kingdom since interaction with water is fundamental to all geological processes. And water can even slip into the mineral kingdom by freezing into ice. Water occurs in the hydrologic cycle as soil water, groundwater and surface water. We also find water vapor in the atmosphere and frozen water in...

The paper aims at evaluating the effects of heavy groundwater withdrawal and artificial groundwater recharge of an exmining pond to the aquifer system of the Langat Basin through the three-dimensional (3D) numerical modeling. Many mining sites have been left behind from the massive mining exploitations in Malaysia during the England colonization era and from the last few decades. These sites ar...
