Abstract:
... The construction of the 42-km long All-American Canal in southern California (USA) near the border with Mexico in the 1940s generated infiltration which raised groundwater levels in the area inducing groundwater to flow into the Mexicali Valley aquifer (Mexico). In the late 2000s, the USA started a controversial lining project to reduce infiltration below the canal, with far-reaching consequences. ...

Abstract:
... Natural and human-induced groundwater dynamics in hyper-arid aquifers play a crucial role in the evolution of the landscape. The area overlying the Saq Aquifer, in particular the Al-Qassim area within the central part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has witnessed numerous land deformation (land subsidence and fissures) events throughout the last two decades. An integrated remote sensing and hydrog ...

Abstract:
... This paper uses an analytical method to analyze soil cavity forming conditions and the associated mechanics. On this basis, the paper studies the soil cavity expansion rule and reveals the nature of the soil cave collapse from the mechanism angle. The results show the following: (1) the spalling force caused by pumping at different points around a soil cavity varies. The nearer the point to the pu ...

Abstract:
... Fractured rock aquifers continue to support millions of people in arid and semiarid regions. However, due to heterogeneous nature of their hydrogeology and comparative low yields, research in these formations is regarded expensive, and thus, very little is known about their dominant hydrological processes. In this study, we corroboratively used pumping test and stable isotopic data to understand g ...

Abstract:
... A common assumption with groundwater sampling is that low (<0.5 L/min) pumping rates during well purging and sampling captures primarily lateral flow from the formation through the well-screened interval at a depth coincident with the pump intake. However, if the intake is adjacent to a low hydraulic conductivity part of the screened formation, this scenario will induce vertical groundwater flow t ...

Its structural control allows the fractures to be wide and deep enough so the waters can reach 1000 m depth. These waters are extracted mainly by deep wells, from the exploitation of the Paranoá and Araxá Aquifer Systems, emerging at ...

Abstract:
... Large amounts of groundwater are discharged during underground mining operations. As a result, the drawdown of groundwater, known as aquifer dewatering, is common in mining areas. Because of variability in permeability between different media in mines, mine drainage occurs primarily as non-continuous flow. However, calculations of mine water yield are usually made based on the continuous flow theo ...
