Impacts of climate change on Swiss alluvial aquifers - A quantitative forecast focused on natural and artificial groundwater recharge by surface water infiltration

Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå

The sensitivity of future groundwater recharge and temperature development was investigated for three alluvial aquifers in the urban agglomeration of the city of Basel, Switzerland. For selected climate projections groundwater recharge and the associated t ...

Effects of aquifer geometry on seawater intrusion in annulus segment island aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Zhaoyang Luo

Seawater intrusion in island aquifers was considered analytically, specifically for annulus segment aquifers (ASAs), i.e., aquifers that (in plan) have the shape of an annulus segment. Based on the Ghijben–Herzberg and hillslope-storage Boussinesq equation ...

Energy efficiency and biological interactions define the core microbiome of deep oligotrophic groundwater

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Emma Bell

While oligotrophic deep groundwaters host active microbes attuned to the low-end of the bioenergetics spectrum, the ecological constraints on microbial niches in these ecosystems and their consequences for microbiome convergence are unknown. Here, we provi ...

Groundwater dynamics in subterranean estuaries of coastal unconfined aquifers: Controls on submarine groundwater discharge and chemical inputs to the ocean

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

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 ...

Characterisation of the subaquatic groundwater discharge that maintains the permanent stratification within Lake Kivu; East Africa

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Warm and cold subaquatic groundwater discharge into Lake Kivu forms the large-scale density gradients presently observed in the lake. This structure is pertinent to maintaining the stratification that locks the high volume of gases in the deepwater. Our re ...

Effects of hydropeaking waves offsets on growth performances of juvenile Salix species

Alexandre Buttler, Paolo Perona, Pascal Turberg, Constant Signarbieux, Lorenzo Gorla

Hydropower production and other human activities change the natural flow regime of rivers (e.g., hydropeaking effects), in turn, impacting the riparian environment. Here we present an experiment conceived to investigate the response of forced offsets in wa ...

Atmospheric Flow Development and Associated Changes in Turbulent Sensible Heat Flux over a Patchy Mountain Snow Cover

Michael Lehning

In this study, the small-scale boundary layer dynamics and the energy balance over a fractional snow cover are numerically investigated. The atmospheric boundary layer flows over a patchy snow cover were calculated with an atmospheric model (Advanced Regio ...

Influence of a coarse interlayer on seawater intrusion and contaminant migration in coastal aquifers

David Andrew Barry

Vertical 2D slice laboratory experiments were carried out in homogenous and layered sand tanks to elucidate the effects of a highly permeable (coarse-grained sand) interlayer on seawater intrusion and transport of contaminants to a coastal sea. Tidal fluct ...

The importance of hydraulic groundwater theory in catchment hydrology: The legacy of Wilfried Brutsaert and Jean-Yves Parlange

Alexis Berne

Based on a literature overview, this paper summarizes the impact and legacy of the contributions of Wilfried Brutsaert and Jean-Yves Parlange (Cornell University) with respect to the current state-of-the-art understanding in hydraulic groundwater theory. F ...

Rock mass assessment and corresponding TBM operation optimization for TBM tunneling at depth - a case study of Jinping II hydropower station

Jian Zhao, Lijun Yin

During TBM tunneling at the great depth, problems such as high in situ stress, groundwater inflow and fractured rock masses are main reasons of the geotechnical risk occurrence in TBM tunneling. Thus it is necessary to modify TBM and optimize TBM operation ...
