Geothermometrical characterisation of low-temperature, carbonate-evaporitic geothermal systems is usually hampered by the lack of appropriate mineral equilibria to successfully use most of the classical geothermometers and/or by the thermodynamic uncertain ...
Hydropower is the world’s most important renewable electricity source. More than 40% of European hydroelectric energy is produced in Alpine countries. High-head storage hydropower plants (HPP) contribute significantly to peak energy production as well as e ...
An injection deviee for injecting injection material, comprising: an elastic deformable element (3) able to exert a pushing force on a piston (20) of a syringe (2) so as to eject a quantity of injection material out of the syringe (2); a stopper ( 4) for r ...
A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...
The Caldes de Boi geothermal waters show important differences in pH (6.5-9.6) and temperature (15.9 degrees C-52 degrees C) despite they have a common origin and a very simple circuit at depth (4km below the recharge area level). These differences are the ...
Sustainable coastal resource management requires sound understanding of interactions between coastal unconfined aquifers and the ocean as these interactions influence the flux of chemicals to the coastal ocean and the availability of fresh groundwater reso ...
Numerical simulations were conducted to examine the effect of episodic rainfall on nearshore groundwater dynamics in a tidally influenced unconfined coastal aquifer, with a focus on both long- (yearly) and short-term (daily) behaviour of submarine groundwa ...
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an integral part of the hydrological cycle and represents an important aspect of land-ocean interactions. We used a numerical model to simulate flow and salt transport in a nearshore groundwater aquifer under varyin ...
Seawater intrusion (SI) is a global issue, exacerbated by increasing demands for freshwater in coastal zones and predisposed to the influences of rising sea levels and changing climates. This review presents the state of knowledge in SI research, compares ...
Apart from their contribution in the water balance of Lake Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia, subaquatic springs are also expected to affect the water quality. A simple experiment was developed and applied to subaquatic spring in Kališta region (south-east of K ...
