A combination of geologic descriptions of cores, borehole geophysics, surfacegeophysical soundings and water-sample analyses was used to characterize flow in the surficial aquifer in the vicinity of Big Cypress National Preserve, Collier County, south Florida. The geophysical analysis augmented by aquifer tests and piezometer measurements showed that the surficial aquifer is under unconfined co...

given the reduced freshwater supplies across the world, seawater desalination is one of the appropriate methods available for producing freshwater. selecting an optimal location is crucial in the installation of these plants owing to the environmental problems they cause. the present study was conducted to identify optimal locations for installing desalination plants in the coastal areas of sou...

[1] A year-round sequence of hydrographic casts is used to trace the evolution of the upper ocean waters in Marguerite Bay, western Antarctic Peninsula (wAP), between 1998 and 2002. Winter 1998 was anomalous, showing an unusually deep mixed layer that became progressively more saline until spring, reaching salinities as high as 34.0. The remnant of this mixed layer (the Winter Water, WW) was th...

coastal area sensitivity assessment is in fact, the assessment of an extraordinary ecological rich region, in spite of existing environmental polluting factors. this study has been based on established criteria and values. the aim of this sensitivity assessment has been to give objectivity to the boushehr province coastline region, so as to be able to pinpoint areas requiring ecological conserv...

This paper presents the results and assessment of groundwater exploitation reserves in coastal areas Ninh Thuan province. The research was based on determining all grid cells with dimensions 500 m × distributed fresh-salted water Holocene (qh) Pleistocene (qp) aquifers. Each assigned corrected hydrogeological parameter values (depth, gravity coefficient, hydraulic conductivity, drawdown level)....

Batiaghata Upazila, Khulna District in south-west coastal region of Bangladesh is the mostly saline affected area, where agriculture activities are mainly dependent on rainfall. 23 water samples from surface water and shallow tube well (STW) were collected in the monsoon season and analyzed for physico-chemical properties to classify them according to salinity hazard. Electrical Conductivity (E...
