Assessing long-term conservation of groundwater resources in the Ogallala Aquifer Region using hydro-agronomic modeling
Groundwater is vital for domestic use, municipalities, agricultural irrigation, industrial processes, etc. Over the past century, excessive groundwater depletion has occurred globally and regionally, notably in arid and semi-arid regions, often due to providing irrigation water for crop …

Alternative groundwater resources in North-central Texas for the development of the Barnett Shale gas play
Texas water resources are under pressure due to population growth expected in the coming decades, increasing industrial demands, and frequent periods of drought. With this increasing demand for limited water resources it is important to explore alternative water sources within the State. One of …

The Impact of Climate Variability and Land Cover Change on Groundwater Resources in The Niger River Basin
… - Maradi and Zinder in Niger. Using the in-situ groundwater data, the decadal changes of groundwater depth in Maradi and Zinder were statistically analyzed to investigate the change of groundwater in the local level. The Zinder region was studied from 1999 to 2009, and the Maradi region was from …

Surface Spills Associated with Oil and Gas Activities in Saskatchewan and Potential Impacts to Shallow Groundwater Resources
… and the potential risks from spills to shallow groundwater supplies within the province. This lack of detailed analysis has contributed to the prevailing assumption within SK that oilfield spills are mainly associated with more recent high volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) activities, …

Coupling tough2 and SEAWAT variable-density models to understand potential geologic carbon sequestration impacts on groundwater resources
… while SEAWAT is suitable for variable density, groundwater flow problems. Rather than using a single TOUGH2 model, coupling SEAWAT and TOUGH2 lowers the computational cost of modeling this system, allowing the impacts of the GCS project (increasing formation pressure) and groundwater pumping …

Transition to Novel Internet of Things Technology for Management of Groundwater Resources? Case of Cape Town, South Africa
Groundwater is significant for humans and nature due to its varying extent, prevalence and natural quality. Effective management and protection of groundwater resources is essential and requires detailed knowledge and quantitative/qualitative characterisation of the aquifer. It is vital to confirm …

Assessing the impacts of drought on groundwater resources in Scotland using the Eden catchment in northeast Fife as a case study
Groundwater resources play a crucial role in the economic and environmental development of Scotland’s well-being with it contributing the second greatest source of water supplies to the country after surface water. This research focuses on the impacts of drought caused by climate change on these …

The use of Geographic Information System (GIS) for regional scale groundwater contamination risk assessment by chlorinated solvents in the Permo-Triassic sandstone aquifer
The long term contamination of groundwater resources by dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) such as chlorinated solvents is an increasing problem being faced throughout the industrialised world. The transport and eventual fate of these compounds in the subsurface is controlled by the nature of …

Electrokinetic Methods and Applications in Australian Aquifer Settings: High-Dimension Electrical Tomography Imaging and Neural Network Filtration Techniques
… in the world, there is a significant reliance on groundwater resources within many communities and industries throughout Australia. Particularly in regional areas with low rainfall and surface runoff resources, the underlying groundwater availability plays a pivotal role in population capacity and …

Determining the socio-economic value of groundwater: Franschhoek case study
… to cater for the regions rapidly growing demand. Groundwater is being explored as a possible contributor to the freshwater supply. Development of the resource has been slow despite the existence of significant potential groundwater resources in the form of several shallow primary aquifer systems …

Microbial Iron Geochemistry of a Pristine Glaciofluvial Groundwater System
… of iron by microorganisms has a strong impact on groundwater resources due to their influence on aqueous geochemistry, including contaminant mobility. This thesis expands on knowledge of groundwater-surface transitions through the characterization of an iron cycling biofilm dominated groundwater …
