Investigation of Groundwater- Surface-Water Interactions – Application to Leech Lake Aquifer,
… essential for socio-economic development, water resources are inevitable. Food, feed, and shelter requirements are growing rapidly with the increase in the population of our world and on the other hand water resources are becoming scarcer to fulfill these demands. Therefore, it is highly …

Quantifying groundwater-surface water interactions to improve the outcomes of human activities
<p>Interactions between surface water and groundwater impact both the quality and quantity of water resources. This dissertation is focused on the interactions between surface water in streams and groundwater in hyporheic zones and shallow fluvial aquifers, and how human beings influence these …

Flood Processes in Semi-arid Streams: Sediment Transport, Flood Routing, and Groundwater - Surface Water Interactions
… floods have the potential for great benefit in a water-limited environment, but also great devastation when powerful floods encounter human infrastructure. This dissertation employs an integrative approach to address several facets of flooding in semi-arid streams. In particular, information from …

Groundwater Dependence of Aquatic Ecosystems associated with the Table Mountain Group Aquifer
… this study enables a better understanding of groundwater surface water interactions in the TMG, particularly regarding aquatic ecosystems. It has also highlighted the necessity to do proper impact assessments before proceeding with bulk abstraction from this important aquifer. The results also …

Eastern Truckee Meadows Groundwater Interactions with the Truckee River
… its aquifers and the Truckee River supply water to the communities of Reno and Sparks in Washoe County, Nevada. Residents of this area rely solely on these aquifers when surface water from the Truckee River is unavailable for municipal use. Researching the complex groundwater interactions …

Evaluating Floodplain Hydrologic Connectivity, Yakima River, WA
… if and how floodplain connectivity affects water quality and quantity in side-channel habitat on the Yakima River. This research compared seasonal differences in habitat quality between connected and disconnected channels by evaluating bi-weekly measurements of surface water quality and …

A Geochemical Assessment of Potential Groundwater Storage Locations within the Yakima River Basin
… in the Yakima River Basin more people possess surface water rights than there is available surface water. As a result, the local community devised the Yakima River Basin Integrated Water Management Plan, with the goal of creating a sustainable source of water for the foreseeable future. One of …

Multi-scale evaluation of groundwater flow and metal sourcing to streams in the Bonita Peak mining district
… understanding is particularly acute in headwater streams because these watersheds generate much of the water essential for ecosystem function and downstream human use, and headwater regions may be particularly sensitive to climatic changes. This research focuses on the Upper Animas River …

A geographic information system analysis of submarine groundwater discharge on the eastern shore of Virginia
Recent research has indicated that submarine groundwater discharge (SGWD) occurs in the Chesapeake Bay, and that discharged groundwater can be contaminated with nutrients and toxic substances. Although discharge has been measured directly on a local level, a convenient method for determining the …

Characterizing Groundwater Discharge from a Cobble Armored Streambed, Alder Creek, Ontario, Canada
Quantifying flow across the groundwater-surface water interface (GWSWIn) is necessary for a detailed understanding of the hydrological connectivity between groundwater and surface water, and for the effective management of water resources in general. Fluxes across the GWSWIn can be used to monitor …

Assessing surface and groundwater interactions between the middle Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer and the Brazos River.
… Alluvium Aquifer (BRAA) is a vital source of water in Central Texas, primarily used for irrigation. The BRAA and the overlying Brazos River are connected; however, their interaction is not well understood and often overgeneralized. This study seeks to clarify aspects of surface water …
