groundwater is one of the most important resources of water supply for various uses in many regions all over the globe including iran. different contaminants severely affect these resources and might render groundwater unsuitable for consumption. groundwater contamination by nitrate is a well known globally growing problem due to the population growth and increase of demand for food supplies. t...

Increasing environmental pressures, pollution and legislation in Europe are creating the urgent need for regional-catchment scale geological models to assess hydrogeological conditions and inform mathematical and numerical groundwater models. Geological models are especially important in areas with superficial deposits overlying key aquifers. These areas are often characterized by very complex ...

The objective of this paper is to describe governing numerical equation and solution algorithm of pollution transport mechanisms and factors essential to include in developing relatively simple and practical tools to quantify pollution loss, advection, diffusion and sorption in pollution transport into the groundwater at landfill sites. This paper presents the development of a numerical model t...

an aquifer located within a petroleum processing plant in moín, costa rica, suffers hydrocarbon pollution. this study aimed to determine the ability of indigenous microorganisms from this site to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) to evaluate the feasibility of an eventual bioremediation process. aerobic conditions were found in the aquifer, while microbial analyses of the groundwa...

due to simple operation and no needs for expensive infrastructure construction to convey water from a source to farm lands, groundwater becomes the most important sources of agricultural water supply in iran. however, the contamination of aquifers is a major concern in many countries, specifically in areas without effective groundwater protection and management. therefore, groundwater vulnerabi...
