  1. 1. Evaluation of Darcy Flow Velocities Obtained from Borehole Dilution Tests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Johanna Lundin; [2019]
    Keywords : Single borehole dilution tests SBDT ; Darcy flow velocity; karst aquifer; porous aquifer; Donauried-Hürbe; Germany; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The project is part of a larger investigation of the water protection area Donauried-Hürbe. This area is a recharge zone used by one of Germany’s biggest water supply companies, the Zweckverband Landwasserversorgung (LW). READ MORE

  3. 2. Hydrology of the karstic basin of Sprimont, Belgium : On the use of spectrofluorimetry and pharmaceutical substances as a supporting tool for hydrochemistry analysis

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Romain Deleu; [2018]
    Keywords : hydrology; hydrogeology; karst; karstic; spectrofluorimetry; pharmaceutical; hydrochemistry; spring; losing stream; self-organizing map; SOM; Belgium; aquifer; undergound; stream; nitrogen; carbon; isotopes; contamination; risk; human impact; sewage; wastewater; tracer;

    Abstract : The strong variation in carbonate content of the geological formations in the basin of Sprimont, Belgium, implies different groundwater behaviours in the substratum. The existence of carbonated materials such as limestone is responsible for the existence of a well-developed karstic system restricted to the Carboniferous materials which has a strong impact on the local hydrology and hydrogeology.

  4. 3. Application of GALDIT index in the Mediterranean region to assess vulnerability to sea water intrusion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tracy Zaarour; [2017]
    Keywords : aquifer; Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; Sea Water Intrusion SWI ; Vulnerability Index VI ; GALDIT VI; Groundwater; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : GALDIT is a Vulnerability Indexing (VI) methodology that uses ranges, ratings and weights developed as a preliminary decision support tool to predict groundwater areas prone to Sea Water Intrusion (SWI). It has been only applied on porous coastal aquifers to date, in Mediterranean coastal regions, where SWI has become a growing problem. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hydrological Modelling of Al Auja Earth Dam in the Lower Jordan Valley.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Otto Rimfors; Vadim Velichkin; [2015]
    Keywords : Hydrological modelling; arid areas; Jordan Valley; water scarcity; Al Auja; HEC-HMS; SMA; CN;

    Abstract : In a populated region with very high potential evapotranspiration, where the rainwater falls only during the winter and mostly in the mountains, the need for sustainable water management and fair distribution is crucial. In the West Bank, Palestine, the main potable water source is a karst mountain aquifer system. READ MORE

  6. 5. Karst and waters in it : a literature study on karst in general and on problems and possibilities of water management in karst in particular

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Veronika Raguž; [2008]
    Keywords : karst aquifer; hydrology; karst hydrology; karst; geography; physical geography; ground water; water management; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Karst är landskap och karakteristika som är viktiga både ur hydrologisk och geologisk synpunkt och som är utvecklade genom vattnets vittring av oftast karbonathaltiga stenar. Denna uppsats kartlägger världens karstområden, beskriver egenskaper av karst och karsthydrologi och strävar efter att definiera problem och möjligheter med vattenhantering i karstlandskap. READ MORE
