Global Groundwater Sustainability
Groundwater, 2020 No abstract but introduction: Groundwater resources are the most reliable source of freshwater on the planet, so long as they are sustainably managed. While serious groundwater depletion and contamination are well documented in several regions around the world, other regions have the potential to leverage under-developed groundwater resources to fuel ...

GWSDAT - GroundWater Spatiotemporal Data Analysis Tool [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Periodic monitoring of groundwater quality at industrial and commercial sites generates large volumes of spatiotemporal concentration data. Data modelling is typically restricted to either the analysis of monotonic trends in individual wells, or independent fitting of spatial concentration distributions (e.g.

Anthropogenic influences on groundwater in the vicinity of a long-lived radioactive waste repository [PDF]
, 2017 The groundwater flow system in the Culebra Dolomite Member (Culebra) of the Permian Rustler Formation is a potential radionuclide release pathway from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), the only deep geological repository for transuranic waste in the United States.

An integrated assessment of the impact of precipitation and groundwater on vegetation growth in arid and semiarid areas [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Increased demand for water resources together with the influence of climate change has degraded water conditions which support vegetation in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semiarid areas. This study develops an integrated framework to assess the impact of precipitation and groundwater on vegetation growth in the Xiliao River Plain of ...

Multi-Agent System for Groundwater Depletion Using Game Theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Groundwater is one of the most vital of all common pool resources throughout the world. More than half of groundwater is used to grow crops. This research models groundwater depletion patterns within a multi-agent system framework. Irrigators are modeled as agents in the multi-agent system.

Gradual Variation Analysis for Groundwater Flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Groundwater flow in Washington DC greatly influences the surface water quality in urban areas. The current methods of flow estimation, based on Darcy's Law and the groundwater flow equation, can be described by the diffusion equation (the transient flow) and the Laplace equation (the steady-state flow).

Non-renewable groundwater use and groundwater depletion: a review
Environmental 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.

Isotope characterization of shallow aquifers in the Horombe region, South of Madagascar [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The present study deals with the problem of evaluation of the recharge mechanism and the characterization of the groundwater flow system in the basement shallow aquifer, which is one of the groundwater resource in the semi-arid South region of Madagascar.

Solving Groundwater Flow Equations Using Gradually Varied Functions [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Finite difference method and finite element method are popular methods for solving groundwater flow equations. This paper presents a new method that uses gradually varied functions to solve such equation. In this paper, we have established a mathematical model based on gradually varied functions for groundwater data volume reconstruction.
