[1] The estimation of catchment-averaged aquifer hydraulic conductivity values is usually performed through a base flow recession analysis. Relationships between the first time derivatives of the base flow and the base flow values themselves, derived for small and large values of time, are used for this purpose. However, in the derivation of the short-time equations, an initially fully saturate...

Various physico-chemical parameters, including fluoride (F(-)), were analyzed to understand the hydro-geochemistry of an aquifer in a semi-arid region of India. Furthermore, the quality of the shallow and deep aquifer (using tube well and hand pumps) was also investigated for their best ecological use including drinking, domestic, agricultural and other activities. Different multivariate techni...

Conceptual models of aquifer systems can be refined and complemented with geophysical data, and they can assist in understanding hydrogeological properties such as groundwater storage capacity. This research attempts to use geoelectrical methods, Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Induced Polarization parameters, for mapping the subsurface in alluvial fans and to demonstrate its applicabilit...

[1] Bromide breakthrough curves from push-pull tests were obtained at two wells before, during, and after citrate injections to assess how citrate-induced colloid mobilization affected physical aquifer transport properties. Tailing and incomplete bromide recoveries (67–95%) could not be fit with a conservative advection/dispersion model, and the results of batch tests using aquifer solids impli...

[1] We present a robust optimization method for estimating aquifer storage parameters (specific yield or storativity) using the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data, in situ well level observations, and other ancillary information. Uncertainty inherent in the remotely sensed and in situ time series can adversely affect the parameter estimation process and, in the worse case, mak...

The unmanaged groundwater extraction and inadequate aquifer recharge is the major cause of groundwater depletion in different parts of the world. In this study, the groundwater flow system of Mahvelat-Feizabad aquifer (NE of Iran) has been numerically simulated using MODFLOW code in the GMS interface. The model, primarily, calibrated for steady state condition for the mean hydraulic values of o...

The estimation of aquifer parameters, like transmissivity (T) and storativity (S), is vital for evaluating and managing groundwater resources. Hydrograph analysis and pumping tests are among the different methods available to estimate aquifer parameters, but pumping tests are the most commonly used. The study and data presented in this paper was conducted in the Chikaldhara Region (Amravati Dis...
