Floods are of great concern as the global climate changes, and investigations of flood water infiltration and groundwater recharge are important for water resource management worldwide, especially under conditions of global climate changes. However, information on the relationship between the flood water and groundwater recharge is limited. The objective of this study was to determine the relat...

After seventy years of controversial discussion, the reports by Dean et al. that purported to demonstrate an inverse relationship between the prevalence of tooth decay in children and the fluoride content of drinking water are still cited as strong evidence for a significant anti-caries effect of fluoride, despite their many shortcomings. In addition, major hypotheses for possible cariostatic m...

Different techniques for estimating seasonal water use from soil profile water depletion frequently do not account for flux below the root zone. Shallow water table contribution to supply crop water use may be important in arid and semi-arid regions. Development of predictive root uptake models, under influence of shallow water table makes it possible for planners to incorporate interaction bet...

In our study, we analyzed the combined standard uncertainty of water table slope assessment done using differential global positioning system (DGPS)-based measurements of water table elevation and distances between measurement locations. We compared and discussed uncertainties in water table slope assessments done in various hypothetical environments of lowland floodplains (water table slopes t...

A multiphase model (UTCHEM v.6) has been modified to account for boundary conditions present in the vadose zone, as well as adding an analytic solution for the soil temperature profile, the temperature dependence of physicochemical properties, and revised interphase mass transfer correlations. The model also includes biodegradation, which is limited by moisture content, oxygen and pollutant ava...

[1] Boreal wetland carbon cycling is vulnerable to climate change in part because hydrology and the extent of frozen ground have strong influences on plant and microbial functions. We examined the response of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) across an experimental manipulation of water table position (both raised and lowered water table treatments) in a boreal‐r...
