Investigation of factors influencing groundwater quality in a typical Karoo aquifer in Beaufort West town of South AfricaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 79 - Trang 1-15 - 2020
L. Ligavha-Mbelengwa, M. Gomo
The study investigates factors that influence the evolution of groundwater
chemistry and groundwater quality in a typical Karoo aquifer in South Africa.
Groundwater samples were collected from production and monitoring boreholes
during spring, summer and autumn seasons. The samples were analysed for
inorganic chemistry species. Bivariate plots, stoichiometric analysis and
principal component analy... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling on adsorption–desorption of trace metals to suspended particle matter in the Changjiang EstuarySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 53 - Trang 1751-1766 - 2007
Y. Y. Zhang, E. R. Zhang, J. Zhang
The uptake and release of trace metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd, and Co) in estuaries are
studied using river and sea end-member waters and suspended particulate matter
(SPM) collected from the Changjiang Estuary, China. The kinetics of adsorption
and desorption were studied in terms of environmental factors (pH, SPM loading,
and salinity) and metal concentrations. The uptake of the metals studied onto
SPM... hiện toàn bộ
Rapid formation of large coastal sand bodies after emplacement of Magdalena river jetties, northern ColombiaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 187-194 - 1990
J. O. Martinez, O. H. Pilkey, W. J. Neal
The Magdalena River is noted for its high discharge of river sediment and its
importance as the sediment source for a large delta complex and downdrift
coastal sand bodies. The emplacement of jetties, completed in 1935 to stabilize
the river mouth, contributed to major changes in the downstream coastal sand
bodies. The western delta front retreated an average 65 m/yr. Puerto Colombia
spit detached... hiện toàn bộ
Microscopic modelling of the hydraulic fracturing processSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 68 - Trang 1169-1186 - 2012
Kenneth I. Eshiet, Yong Sheng, Jianqiao Ye
A microscopic perspective is introduced in this study which offers a detailed
insight at the inter-particle level to the geo-mechanical responses caused by
fluid injection and the resulting pressure build-up. This was achieved by
employing the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to model the pressure development
and the subsequent fracturing and/or cavity propagation. This technique
represents the forma... hiện toàn bộ
Conceptual site models for sinkhole formation and remediationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 76 - Trang 1-12 - 2017
Wanfang Zhou, Mingtang Lei
Extensive research has been done on investigation, monitoring, risk evaluation
and land management to prevent formation of sinkholes and subsidences in karst
terranes. Little emphasis is, however, given to the various processes and
methodologies with respect to their remediation. Sinkholes are a surface symptom
of complicated erosion and deformation processes that occur on the surface and
in the s... hiện toàn bộ
Nitrogen and phosphate adsorption on biofilms in reclaimed waterSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 74 - Trang 451-461 - 2015
Zigong Ning, Mingchao Liang, Zhenhua Wang, Yunkai Li, Yaoze Liu, Tianzhi Wang
Biofilms, abundantly attached on the surfaces of multiple media (such as pebbles
and aquatic plants) in rivers or lakes reusing reclaimed water (RW), are of
great significance to contaminants’ self-purification of water bodies. In this
paper, the nitrogen and phosphate adsorption characteristics of such biofilms
were studied by the batch method, using biofilms cultivated under an outdoor
simulativ... hiện toàn bộ
Landfill site selection using integrated fuzzy logic and analytic network process (F-ANP)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 68 - Trang 1745-1755 - 2012
A. A. Isalou, V. Zamani, B. Shahmoradi, H. Alizadeh
Locating a suitable place to dispose the municipal solid wastes hygienically
(sanitary landfill) is one of the fundamental subjects relating the
environmental stability of cities and, in general, the human settlements. This
final stage of solid waste management requires observance of a series of
principles and criteria mainly including environmental, social, economical, and
general acceptance crit... hiện toàn bộ
Vulnerability assessment of urban groundwater resources to nitrate: the case study of Mashhad, IranSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 76 - Trang 1-15 - 2016
Parisa Asadi, Behzad Ataie-Ashtiani, Aliasghar Beheshti
Groundwater vulnerability assessment of urban areas is a challenging task in the
fast trend of urbanization around the globe. This study introduces a new
approach for modifying well-known parameters of common vulnerability indexes to
adjust them for urban areas. The approach is independent of a specific weighting
system. The aquifer of Mashhad city, contaminated by domestic wastewater, is
selected... hiện toàn bộ
