Numerical modeling applications in hydrogeology range from pore scale to global simulations, and help quantify fluid and solute transport dynamics in variably saturated, multi-permeability, and multiphase systems. Simulations of flow are essential for addressing issues of fundamental hydrologic science, and even more so for developing and testing management or remediation strategies. Numerical ...

The Latrobe Valley has an extensive monitoring network to measure the environmental impacts of mining and power generation operations. Regional groundwater and topographic survey data have been recorded for over 40 years. This data is used to calibrate mathematical models for the prediction of groundwater drawdown and subsidence. The concept of artificially recharging aquifers through re-inject...

nowadays, groundwater resources play a vital role as a source of drinking water in arid and semiarid regions and forecasting of pollutants content in these resources is very important. therefore, this study aimed to compare two soft computing methods for modeling cd, pb and zn concentration in groundwater resources of asadabad plain, western iran. the relative accuracy of several soft computing...

Groundwater from the coastal aquifers north of Chennai is being pumped since 1981 to meet the increasing demand. Huge groundwater extracting in the coastal aquifers groundwater causes lowering of groundwater table which led to seawater intrusion. The objective of this study is to assess the behavior of this aquifer to seawater intrusion under different hydrological stresses by groundwater model...

Groundwater depletion poses a significant threat in arid and semi-arid areas where rivers are usually ephemeral and groundwater is the major source of water. The present study investigated whether an effective water resources management strategy, capable of minimizing evaporative water losses and groundwater depletion while providing water for expanded agricultural activities, can be achieved t...

Abstract For over two decades entropy theory has been applied to groundwater modeling with particular regard to (1) groundwater head, (2) parameter estimation, and (3) contaminant transport. Entropy theory is formulated in two domains: real domain and frequency domain. In the real domain, the theory comprises (a) Shannon entropy or another form, (2) principle of maximum entropy, (3) relative en...

BACKGROUND Water is considered as the main source of life but water resources are limited and nonrenewable. Different factors have caused groundwater to decrease. Therefore, modeling and predicting groundwater level is of great importance. METHODS Monthly groundwater level data of about 20 years (October 1991 to February 2012) from the Hamadan-Bahar Plain, west of Iran were used based on peiz...

MODFLOW is a groundwater modeling program. It can be compiled and remedied according to the practical applications. Because of its structure and fixed data format, MODFLOW can be integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology for water resource management. The North China Plain (NCP), which is the politic, economic and cultural center of China, is facing with water resources sh...

[1] Appropriate conceptual simplifications and assumptions are a central issue for hydrological modeling, especially when those models serve as the foundation for more complex hydrochemical or ecological models. A common and often unexamined assumption in conceptual modeling is that the relation between groundwater levels and runoff can be described as a succession of steady state conditions. T...
