Groundwater flow modelling is a critical tool in the management and protection of water resources, especially in the context of both confined and unconfined aquifers. Confined aquifers, bounded by ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- When engineers conduct research on groundwater, the water that flows beneath Earth's surface, they usually think of "large-scale" as one watershed -- an area of land where all of the ...

In 2015, the Gold King Mine, a historic mine that was a toxic waste site, was being excavated by the EPA to begin the long process of cleaning up acid waste that had collected within the historic mine ...

Ecology and Society, Vol. 12, No. 2 (Dec 2007) (19 pages) ABSTRACT. We couple two spatial-temporal models, a backcast land-use change model and a groundwater flow model, to develop what we call ...

In a new study, researchers applied a large-scale model linking surface water to groundwater, which can be used for estimating water resources at a high spatial resolution. Against the backdrop of ...

Groundwater is the largest source of freshwater, one of the world's most precious natural resources and vital for crops and drinking water. It is found under our very feet in the cracks and pores in ...
