Artificial Recharge of Ground Water via Paddy Fields in an Alluvial Fan, Northern Japan
Artificial ground water recharge via paddy fields was tested during the winters of 1985/86 and 1986/87 in order to protect declining water levels. The purpose of this paper is to discuss...
Experimental Studies of Artificial Recharge of Ground Water in Yamagata City, Japan
Experimental studies on artificial recharge of ground water were carried out for three years in Yamagata City, Japan. Two types of installation, pit and basin method were used for recharge....
Artificial Recharge of the Heretaunga Plains Aquifer Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
The Heretaunga Plains groundwater system in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand, is naturally recharged from the nearby Ngaruroro River at the approximate rate of 5.5m3/sec....
Techniques of Artificial Recharge from an Ephemeral Wadi Channel Under Extreme Arid Conditions
A series of field experiments and theoretical analysis was carried out for the alluvial system in Wadi Tabalah in order to determine the feasibility of implementing artificial recharge...
The Tunisian Experience in Ground Water Artificial Recharge by Treated Wastewater
In Tunisia, because the water resources are limited, the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture becomes a necessity. The artificial ground water recharge is one of alternative forms...
Deepwell Infiltration in the North-Holland Dune Area
Deep well infiltration now generally is considered the cue for the future extensions of artificial ground water recharge in or outside the dunes. The Provincial Waterworks of North-Holland...
Evaluating Potential Artificial Recharge Projects
The success of an artificial recharge project can be directly tied to the quality of planning of the potential projects and/or sites. The paper's purpose is to identify the...
Artificial Recharge of Ground Water
A need for international and interdisciplinary technology transfer on the subject of artificial recharge resulted in the American Society of Civil Engineers' (ASCE) Irrigation...
Monitoring for Hazardous Waste Leaks
It is safer and cheaper to keep hazardous wastes out of the groundwater and the ground than to remove them. But better monitoring will be required. In this three-part article, the first...
Jet Fuel from the Ground Up
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has implemented a multi-million dollar clean up effort to remove oil lenses beneath the bulk fuel farms it maintains at three New York area...
Extent of Ground Water Contamination in the U.S.: An Overview
The contamination of ground water may result from all aspects of human activities: agriculture, industry, transportation, domestic wastes and resource exploitation. The contamination due...
Engineering Aspects of Point Versus Nonpoint Sources of Groundwater Pollution
Pollution of groundwater may occur due to a number of sources. These may be categorized into point and nonpoint sources of contamination. The purpose of this paper is to explore the issues...
Survey of Groundwater Contamination in Massachusetts
Public water supplies in Massachusetts have been contaminated or threatened from a number of sources. The purpose of this paper is to outline the nature of groundwater contamination and...
Synthetic Organic Contaminants and Pesticides in Groundwater
For decades, the groundwater of Suffolk County, New York, has been bacteriologically and chemically of superior quality despite the high iron and manganese occasionally encountered in...
Technical Issues of Ground Water Data
Three fundamental issues to be considered in the design of ground water monitoring programs are 1) choice of parameters for characterizing contaminant sources, 2) determining the areal...
Managing Ground Water Data
Decisions concerning ground water protection and public health should be based on all relevant data, measured and analyzed with technically valid techniques. In areas where ground water...
Some Problems in the Engineering of Ground Water Cleanup
The problems facing engineers, often civil engineers, in addressing ground water contamination are both exotic and mundane, but all are critical to success. The paper provides a brief...
Control of Groundwater Contamination: Case Studies
Engineered solutions to groundwater contamination problems are being proposed at many hazardous waste sites, yet the effectiveness and long-term reliability of many of these proposed solutions...
Best Management Practices for Point and Nonpoint Sources of Groundwater Contamination
Management strategies have included regulations to guide or limit development in aquifer recharge areas and in the capture zones of public wellfields, engineering requirements to minimize...
The Delineation and Management of Wellhead Protection Areas
The delineation and protection of a management zone around specific wells or wellfields will undoubtedly become more common as the 1986 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act are implemented...
