Groundwater resilience to climate change in Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In Africa, groundwater is the major source of drinking water and its use for irrigation is forecast to increase substantially to combat growing food insecurity. Climate change along with rapid population growth are likely to impact all water resources,

Non-renewable groundwater use and groundwater depletion: a review

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2019
Abstract Population growth, economic development, and dietary changes have drastically increased the demand for food and water. The resulting expansion of irrigated agriculture into semi-arid areas with limited precipitation and surface water has greatly increased the dependence of irrigated crops on groundwater withdrawal.

Method for indirect determination of soil parameters for numerical simulation of dikes and earth dams

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2022
One of the most important steps in the numerical simulation of a hydrogeological system is the precise definition of initial and boundary conditions. The better these are characterized, the more efficient the calculation and the more accurate are the ...

Groundwater of Rome [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2016
This paper describes the contents of the new Hydrogeological Map of the City of Rome (1:50,000 scale). The map extends to the entire municipality (1285 km2) and is based on both the most recent scientific studies on the groundwater field and new survey activities carried out in order to fill the data gaps in several areas of the examined territory. The

Resolution-Dependent Multifractal Characteristics of Flow in Digital Rock Twin Simulated Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

open access: yesGeofluids, 2023
Digital rock twins are widely used to obtain hydraulic properties of porous media by simulating pore-scale fluid flow. Multifractal characteristics of pore geometry and flow velocity distribution have been discovered with two-dimensional (2D) images and ...
