This study presents an approach for obtaining limited sets of realizations of hydraulic conductivity (K) of multiple aquifers using simulated annealing (SA) simulation and spatial correlations among aquifers to simulate realizations of hydraulic heads and quantify their uncertainty in the Pingtung Plain, Taiwan. The proposed approach used the SA algorithm to generate large sets of natural logar...

introduction because of expansion of agricultural activities and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and location of municipal and industrial wastewater of andimeshk, it is possible for this aquifer to be polluted. therefore, the aim of present study is to assess the aquifer vulnerability of andimeshk plain and recognition of sensitive areas against pollution which this work can be conducted ...

The distribution of ground-water radiocarbon ages from the Tertiary limestone aquifer (includes the Floridan aquifer) in South Carolina shows both a typical trend for a regional sedimentary aquifer plus a lesscommonly reported occurrence of disjunct outliers of recharging and thus high vulnerability to contamination located farther down the regional flow system. The main recharge area, and thus...

Determining the most appropriate management strategies for balancing Abhar plain aquifer using SWOT analytical model

excessive withdrawal of groundwater and reduced rainfall in recent years have caused the drawdown of groundwater table. therefore, it is necessary to manage it for preventing its damage. the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of increasing the irrigation efficiency on groundwater fluctuation on ajab-shir plain aquifer. the aquifer was simulated by using visual modflow 3.1 s...

the effect of drought indices on hydrostatic variations and qualitative parameters of the zahedan plain's aquifer was investigated. for this purpose, 12-year statistics from observational and piezometry wells in the plain, the drought index of percentage normal )pn), standardized precipitation index )spi(, and 30-year precipitation statistics of zahedan station were used. results revealed ...

Quantitative changes in groundwater and crises resulting from uncontrolled water extraction have turned water resources management into one of the supply-demand dilemmas in arid regions. The present study evaluated the quantitative situation of water resources in the Ardestan Plain adjoining the Ardestan desert by using the MODFLOW mathematical model. Simulation of groundwater flow in the stead...
