An analytical model is presented for the analysis of constant flux tests conducted in a phreatic aquifer having a partially penetrating well with a finite thickness skin. The solution is derived in the Laplace transform domain for the drawdown in the pumpi ...
Significant progress has been made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological numerical flow modelling for describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of landslides. However, these new sophisticated methods are still very seldom used in the problem ...
Since their discovery around 1930, the synthetic compounds of the class of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been produced and used worldwide at very large scale. Their physico-chemical properties (non-flammability, chemical inertia, miscibility with water a ...
This research proposes a general methodology allowing the delimitation of protection areas for abstracted groundwater against persistent chemical contaminants for the setting up of: (1) remediation programmes in the event of contamination and (2) preventio ...
The current knowledge on microbial biocenoses (communities) in pristine aquifers is presented in a review, which also discusses their relevance for questions of groundwater protection. Aquifers are heterogeneous on all scales and structured in a variety of ...
Numerous industries and facilities have been using chlorinated ethenes (CEs) as non-flammable solvents since the beginning of the 20th century. These compounds are known to persist in the environment, exerting adverse effects. They have been considered for ...
Changes in hydraulic properties of soils and aquifers as a result of biogeochemical transformations, such as bacteria growth and mineral phase precipitation/dissolution, may lead to significant modifications of the groundwater flow field. This affects in t ...
The Laplace-transform solution for the problem of flow to horizontal drains in an anisotropic unconfined aquifer is derived. The solution for the constant flux horizontal- well by Zhan and Zlotnik [Zhan, H., Zlotnik, V.A., 2002. Groundwater flow to a horiz ...
Evaluation of aquifer yields with the conventional time- drawdown method is based on the assumption of Theisian or infinite radial flow (IRF) of ground water to a well. However, long-term aquifer yields are controlled by heterogeneities and boundary condit ...
In unsaturated soil mechanics testing, total volume change of the specimen is related to both water and air volume changes and cannot be measured with the same techniques as in conventional saturated soil mechanics. Over the years, several methods have bee ...
