Abstract—Adequate and reliable estimates of aquifer parameters are of utmost importance for proper management of vital groundwater resources. At present scenario, the ground water is polluted because of industrial waste disposed over the land and the contaminants are transported in the aquifer from one area to another area, which is depending on the characteristics of the aquifer and contaminan...

Groundwater in a coastal sand aquifer is enriched in arsenic as a result of historical discharges from an industrial facility on the central NSW coast. Subsequent investigations also identified arsenic in the soil within the saturated zone down-gradient of the source area. Arsenic concentrations in soil and groundwater decrease markedly along a narrow flow path towards a tidal river some 300 m ...

A virtual queue can be used to predict when a real queue is about to grow. This memo explains why using a leaky bucket to implement a virtual queue is not useful, despite a superficial similarity. However, it is possible to implement a useful virtual queue using two leaky buckets. It requires a simple trick that can typically be implemented with existing hardware.

Several researchers have suggested employing two-stage entry monitors for high-speed networks-the rst stage enforcing a long term rate, the second stage enforcing a peak rate over a shorter time scale. In spite of this interest, little work on analyzing such systems has appeared. Not only is the analysis hard because of the the correlation between the stages, but for the most popular policing s...

Analyses of areal variations in the subsidence and rebound occurring over stressed aquifer systems, in conjunction with measurements of the hydraulic head fluctuations causing these displacements, can yield valuable information about the compressibility and storage properties of the aquifer system. Historically, stress-strain relationships have been derived from paired extensometer/piezometer i...

The water balance calculation and water quality are very important matters in the groundwater management. The water balance includes two parameters: input and output parameters. The input parameter is consisted from surface recharge (precipitation, irrigation return water, surfaces runoff recharge) and underground inflow (flow from adjacent aquifers). The underground inflow is an important fact...

Aquifer information carried by aquifer test data may be affected by the presence of a finite thickness skin around the wellbore. The mathematical treatment for an aquifer accounting for the skin zone can be characterized by five parameters, that is, the outer radius of the skin zone and the transmissivity and storativity for each of the skin and aquifer zones. Sensitivity analysis was performed...

Abstract Artesian aquifers offer interesting opportunities for water supply by providing a low-vulnerability groundwater resource that is easily abstracted without any installation of pumps or power costs. However, hydraulic tests are challenging to perform, notably where the piezometric head above ground level with free-flowing wells not equipped valves and open years. This paper describes low...

Perceived as environmental-friendly hydraulic structures, leaky barriers used for natural flood management are introduced into rivers, potentially creating migration fish. Using sustainable, local materials to construct wooden across river channels in upper catchments, these aim slow down the flow, reduce peaks and attenuate flow reaching downstream communities. Yet little is known about their ...
