Playas are ephemeral, closed-basin wetlands that are hypothesized as an important source of recharge to the High Plains aquifer in central USA. The ephemeral nature of playas, low regional recharge rates, and a strong reliance on groundwater from the High Plains aquifer has prompted many questions regarding the contribution and quality of recharge from playas to the High Plains aquifer. As a re...

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...

This paper presents the analytical solution of groundwater response to tidal fluctuation in a coastal multilayer aquifer system consisting of a leaky confined aquifer, a semipermeable layer, and an unconfined aquifer. The semipermeable layer, or the roof of the leaky confined aquifer, extends under the sea. Comparisons are made with solutions derived previously, which considered only a single a...

Hydrological Processes. 2017;1–19. Abstract This study analyzes a long‐term regional compilation of water table response to climate variability based on 124 long‐term groundwater wells distributed across New England, USA, screened in a variety of geologic materials. The New England region of the USA is located in a humid‐temperature climate underlain by low‐storage‐fractured metamorphic and cry...

vulnerability and contamination risk assessment is of great importance in karst aquifer management. because of vastness of karst in zagros, natural conditions and human activity within the region of aquifer, pollution emission has become one of the most important challenges in front of zagros aquifers. the purpose of this study is to assess marab aquifer vulnerability, using riske model and, de...

In this study, non-Darcian flow to a largerdiameter partially penetrating well in a confined aquifer was investigated. The flow in the horizontal direction was assumed to be non-Darcian and described by the Izbash equation, and the flow in the vertical direction was assumed to be Darcian. A linearization procedure was used to approximate the nonlinear governing equation. The Laplace transform a...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Groundwater in the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer, Liverpool, UK, has locally elevated chloride concentrations (∼4000 mg/l) in parts of the coastal region although there is freshwater right up to the coast line in other areas. The aqu...

To evaluate the nitrogen pollution load in an aquifer, a water and nitrogen balance analysis was conducted over a thirty-five year period at five yearly intervals. First, we established a two-horizon model comprising a channel/soil horizon, and an aquifer horizon, with exchange of water between the aquifer and river. The nitrogen balance was estimated from the product of nitrogen concentration ...

A new method is presented for the simultaneous estimation of original hydrocarbons in place OHIP and aquifer parameters for a circular aquifer surrounding a hydrocarbon reservoir. Water influx data are represented by the van-Everdingen and Hurst (VEH) unsteady state solution. In addition to the initial oil and/or gas in place, the aquifer parameters are also estimated. These parameters include ...
