Transport Models to Simulate Nitrate Contamination
Computer models can be used to simulate groundwater flow and contaminant transport in the vadose zone, the results of which can be used as input to simulate flow and transport in the saturated...
Groundwater Modeling with GIS: An Example
The versatility and widespread usage of a geographic information system (GIS) as a hydrological modeling tool is only now showing up in the literature. In this regard, a research team...
Terrain Conductivity to Define Groundwater Pollution
Electromagnetic terrain conductivity surveys were conducted at four animal waste lagoon sites in South Carolina in an effort to delineate groundwater contamination from animal waste lagoon...
Agricultural Chemicals in Illinois' Rural Private Wells
A statewide sampling program was undertaken to define the extent of agricultural chemicals in rural, private drinking water wells in Illinois. A stratified random approach was taken for...
Soil-Pesticide Grouping for Water Quality Management
Pesticide and soil properties contribute to changes in runoff and groundwater quality. Because pesticides have been found in runoff and ground water, those managing water quality need...
Visualization Studies of Dense Leachate Plumes in Porous Media
In this paper, a series of flow visualization experiments investigating the behavior of dense leachate plumes are described. These experiments were performed in various flow containers...
Concentration Measurements in Dense Leachate Plumes Using a Gamma Radiation System
An automated, nonintrusive technique is discussed that determines salt concentrations in dense leachate plumes. The dense plumes were introduced from a line source into a relatively narrow...
Influence of the Deposition of Anthropogenic Organic Substances from the Atmosphere on Ground-Water Quality
Large amounts of organic substances are emitted into the atmosphere as a consequence of human activity. The primary emissions as well as their atmospheric reaction products reach the soil...
Nitrate in Rural Water Supplies in North Carolina
Over 9000 rural water supplies in North Carolina were analyzed for nitrate, chloride, electrical conductivity and pH. Data were collected on well characteristics and potential sources...
Survey of Rural, Private Wells: Statistical Design
Half of Illinois' 38 million acres were planted in corn and soybeans in 1988. On the 19 million acres planted in corn and soybeans, approximately 1 million tons of nitrogen...
Visualization of a Groundwater Contaminant Model
Groundwater contamination is a problem of major national concern. Three-dimensional characterization of groundwater contamination is typically required. This paper describes integration...
Visualizing Groundwater Flow
This presentation demonstrates the application of some public domain scientific visualization software tools in the area of groundwater modeling. Specifically, we use these tools to interpret...
Conventional Storm Drainage Which Recharges the Groundwater
Since the demand for water is on the rise, more resourceful means of retaining and controlling the release of stormwater is needed. This retained stormwater may then be used for aesthetic...
Management of Water Resources Distribution in Iran
On the basis of 45th principle of the Iranian Constitution, seawater as well as river waters, streams and any other natural course, whether surface or underground, also floods, wastewaters,...
Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities: Neglects in Practice
The Stormwater Management Facilities (SWMF) have become a required component of urban development projects in many parts of the country. In spite of differences in size, type, and physical...
Oxygen Mass Transfer to Flowing Ground Water Using Oxygen Microbubbles
Mass balance and transfer of oxygen has been studied from oxygen microbubbles to low dissolved oxygen ground water passing through variously configured pilot scale vertical slice test...

Ground-Water Modeling Without Fear
Computerized ground-water modeling has leapt from the cloistered laboratory to the field project as more and more programs are written for the personal computer. These easy-to-understand...
Determination of Vertical Leakage for Nile Valley
The determination of vertical groundwater leakage is particularly important for irrigated agriculture where adequate drainage is required to prevent high water tables and related problems...
