Use of hydraulic tests to identify conceptual models of heterogeneity for fractured rock aquifers
Important aquifers, petroleum reservoirs, geothermal reservoirs, and waste disposal sites throughout the world are located in fractured rock formations. Responsible management of these resources and sites requires appropriate field characterization studies and modeling techniques to assess the …

Rock Outcrops in the Canadian Shield: an Investigation of Contaminant Transport From Surface Sources in Fractured Rock Aquifers
Flow, recharge and transport dynamics in fractured rock aquifers with low lying rock outcrops is a largely unexplored area of study in hydrogeology. The purpose of this thesis is to examine these topics in an agricultural area in Eastern Ontario. The study consists of a regional scale groundwater …

Evaluation of Spring Discharge for Characterization of Groundwater Flow in Fractured Rock Aquifers: A Case Study from the Blue Ridge Province, VA
… flow in the Blue Ridge Province suggest multiple aquifers and flow paths may be responsible for springs and seeps appearing throughout the region. Deep confined aquifers and shallow variably confined aquifers may contribute water to spring outlets, resulting in vastly different water quality and …

Characterization of a hydraulically induced bedrock fracture
… for many years to increase the permeability of aquifers used for drinking and irrigation water supply. This process extends and widens existing bedrock fractures, allowing groundwater storage to increase. Researchers have studied the behavior of fractured-rock aquifers for decades, but little …

A statistical approach to understanding microcosm methods for microbially mediated dechlorination of trichloroethene in bedrock aquifers
… dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) in fractured rock aquifers. Microcosms constructed with unincubated crushed rock in groundwater provided the best microcosm model of in situ TCE degradation, when prepared and incubated to simulate the in situ environment. Microcosms constructed with …

A Numerical and Statistical Analysis of the Fractured Rock Aquifer System in Ploemeur, France to Quantify Local and Regional Recharge
… quantification is compounded when considering a fractured rock aquifer system, where classification and modeling is complicated by highly complex structural geology. However, the ability to distinguish the character and geometry of fractured rock aquifers is indispensable for quantifying recharge …

Electrokinetic Methods and Applications in Australian Aquifer Settings: High-Dimension Electrical Tomography Imaging and Neural Network Filtration Techniques
… to decipher and explain. Within Australia’s fractured rock aquifer systems, attributed with storage of the largest volume of groundwater resources nationally, there is still only fragmented understandings of several of their principal components and capacities. This is inclusive even of key …
