Stochastic analysis of groundwater temperature timeseries for characterizing check dams efficiency: case study on a Managed Aquifer Recharge site (Veneto, Italy)

In order to investigate hydraulic connections between the Brenta river and its groundwater aquifers, this work performs a stochastic analysis of measured groundwater temperature timeseries. The aim is to compare their trends to verify their mutual influenc ...

Estimation of groundwater storage from seismic data using deep learning

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We investigate the feasibility of the use of convolutional neural networks to estimate the amount of groundwater stored in the aquifer and delineate water-table level from active-source seismic data. The seismic data to train and test the neural networks a ...

The Demographics of Water: A Review of Water Ages in the Critical Zone

Paolo Benettin

The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality and quantity. Most water age studies to date have focused on indivi ...

Desalinization and Salinization: A Review of Major Challenges for Coastal Reservoirs

David Andrew Barry

Coastal reservoirs are a possible solution to water supply and management issues in coastal zones. However, salinization can degrade the utility of such reservoirs. Two related major challenges affecting the operation of a coastal reservoir are desalinizat ...

Vortex siphon - from 1:1 scale physical model to SPH simulation and prototype

Giovanni De Cesare

The rail link between Geneva Cornavin Station, Eaux-Vives Station and Annemasse (CEVA) is currently under construction including a cut-and-cover tunnel built by slurry walls located in the alluvium of the Foron River. The covered trench cuts the groundwate ...

As release under the microbial sulfate reduction during redox oscillations in the upper Mekong delta aquifers, Vietnam: A mechanistic study

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Laurent Louis José Charlet

The impact of seasonal fluctuations linked to monsoon and irrigation generates redox oscillations in the subsurface, influencing the release of arsenic (As) in aquifers. Here, the biogeochemical control on As mobility was investigated in batch experiments ...

The role of double diffusion for the heat and salt balance in Lake Kivu

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Double diffusion in lakes and oceans can transform vertical gradients into staircases of convectively mixed layers separated by thin stable interfaces. Lake Kivu is an outstanding double-diffusive natural laboratory with > 300 such steps over the permanent ...

Seasonal and spatial variation in total trihalomethane formation potential in groundwater in Tulkarm and Hebron, Palestine

Loay Awad

Water disinfection using processes such as chlorination is required to kill bacteria and harmful biological components. During chlorination, organic components in water react with chlorine, forming harmful disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes ( ...

Pore space properties in carbonate fault rocks of peninsular Italy

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

The fault cores of extensional faults in Mesozoic limestones and dolostones are examined by mean of combined microstructural, ultrasonic and petrophysical analyses. Grain-supported fault rocks commonly localize in the outer fault cores, whereas matrix-supp ...

Selective, Fast-Response, and Regenerable Metal-Organic Framework for Sampling Excess Fluoride Levels in Drinking Water

Paul Joseph Dyson, Fatmah Ebrahim, Serhii Shyshkanov, Patrick Favre, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên, Andrzej Gladysiak

Prolonged consumption of water contaminated with fluoride ions (F-) at concentrations exceeding 1.5 ppm can lead to considerable health implications, particularly in children and developing embryos. With irreversible and potentially severe forms of fluorid ...
