In arid and semi-arid lands like Iran water is scarce, not all the wastewater can be treated. Hence, groundwater remains primary principal source of supply for human consumption. Therefore, this study attempted to spatially assess potential in an aquifer a region using geographic information systems (GIS)-based statistical modeling. To end, 75 agricultural wells across Marvdasht Plain were samp...

One goal of mandated well monitoring in California, U.S.A, is to search for residues of active ingredients previously undetected in the state’s groundwater. The realization that pesticide residues move into groundwater via a number of different pathways has lead us to develop an empirical approach to delineate vulnerable areas; major climatic and edaphic features of areas where pesticides resid...

Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), or septic systems, can be a significant source of nitrates in groundwater and surface water. The adverse effects that nitrates have on human and environmental health have given rise to the need to estimate the actual or potential level of nitrate contamination. With the goal of reducing data collection and preparation costs, and decreasing the time re...

To support a Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) for groundwater resources impacted by oil or hazardous substances, careful technical evaluation is required to define the nature and volume of the affected groundwater zone and the associated impact on the potential services provided by the affected aquifer and other interconnected water resources. Relative to the baseline beneficial use fo...

groundwater resource is a very important water resource that has stable temperature, clear, tidy and confident. in recent years, population growth, industrialize and need to food and water, have exposed the groundwater resource on the risk. reduction of water resources is a main problem in throughout the world. in this research groundwater potential mapping was obtained in norabad plain, lorest...

a book review is presented on numerical simulation of groundwater flow and solute transport, edited by l. elango, published by allied publishers pvt. ltd. in 2005, 245 pp, hardback isbn 81-7764-923-x.

the current study investigated and compared data generation methods for groundwater modeling. thesemethods can be divided into two classes; geostatistic and probabilistic. by comparing geostatistic methods,the best method was chosen and the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was generated for a study area ina grid (9-cell) format. after observing weak spatial correlation between the data, th...

In situ groundwater bioremediation of hydrocarbons has been used for more than 40 years. Most strategies involve biostimulation; however, recently bioaugmentation have been used for dehalorespiration. Aquifer and contaminant profiles are critical to determining the feasibility and strategy for in situ groundwater bioremediation. Hydraulic conductivity and redox conditions, including concentrati...
