The history and fate of the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer springs in the oasis depressions of the Western Desert, EgyptSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 395-406 - 2015
Owen Powell, Rod Fensham
Extraction of groundwater for agriculture has resulted in the loss of springs
across arid regions of the globe. The history and fate are recorded of the
artesian springs of Egypt’s Western Desert, from ancient times to the present,
spanning the rise and fall of the great civilisations from the Pharoanic
dynasties to Persian, Greek and Roman conquests. The study area includes oases

The active-layer hydrology of a peat plateau with thawing permafrost (Scotty Creek, Canada)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 201-220 - 2012
W. L. Quinton, J. L. Baltzer
The southern margin of permafrost is experiencing unprecedented rates of thaw,
yet the effect of this thaw on northern water resources is poorly understood.
The hydrology of the active layer on a thawing peat plateau in the
wetland-dominated zone of discontinuous permafrost was studied at Scotty Creek,
Northwest Territories (Canada), from 2001 to 2010. Two distinct and seasonally
characteristic le... hiện toàn bộ
Oxygen, hydrogen, and helium isotopes for investigating groundwater systems of the Cape Verde Islands, West AfricaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1157-1174 - 2009
Victor M. Heilweil, D. Kip Solomon, Stephen B. Gingerich, Ingrid M. Verstraeten
Stable isotopes (δ18O, δ2H), tritium (3H), and helium isotopes (3He, 4He) were
used for evaluating groundwater recharge sources, flow paths, and residence
times of three watersheds in the Cape Verde Islands (West Africa). Stable
isotopes indicate the predominance of high-elevation precipitation that
undergoes little evaporation prior to groundwater recharge. In contrast to other
active oceanic hot... hiện toàn bộ
Heat tracing to determine spatial patterns of hyporheic exchange across a river transectSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 - Trang 1633-1646 - 2017
Chengpeng Lu, Shuai Chen, Ying Zhang, Xiaoru Su, Guohao Chen
Significant spatial variability of water fluxes may exist at the water-sediment
interface in river channels and has great influence on a variety of water
issues. Understanding the complicated flow systems controlling the flux
exchanges along an entire river is often limited due to averaging of parameters
or the small number of discrete point measurements usually used. This study
investigated the s... hiện toàn bộ
Well productivity controlling factors in crystalline terrains of southeastern BrazilSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 471-482 - 2006
Mirna A. Neves, Norberto Morales
Over the last decades, increasing water demands have fostered research to obtain
high well yields in crystalline terrains where, besides the intrinsic properties
of rocks, the groundwater flow depends on several factors. The depth of the
wells, the lithotypes, the presence and thickness of sedimentary coverings and
weathered layers, the landforms, the geological structures, and the effects of
tect... hiện toàn bộ
Sensitivity of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) to the complexity of aquifer systems for monitoring of groundwaterSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 26 - Trang 933-943 - 2017
Yashwant B. Katpatal, C. Rishma, Chandan K. Singh
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission is aimed
at assessment of groundwater storage under different terrestrial conditions. The
main objective of the presented study is to highlight the significance of
aquifer complexity to improve the performance of GRACE in monitoring
groundwater. Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, central India, was selected as the
study area for an... hiện toàn bộ
