Book Surface Water   Groundwater Interactions in an Upland Catchment

Download or read book Surface Water Groundwater Interactions in an Upland Catchment written by Alexander Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upland area of the Gellibrand River encompasses the upper catchment (where perennial headwater streams drain native eucalypt rainforest underlain by bedrock) and the upland plain (where the river winds through an alluvial floodplain that has been predominantly cleared for agriculture). This thesis focuses on a number of aspects concerning surface water - groundwater interactions in this part of the catchment, namely: (1) the temporal and spatial variation of groundwater influxes into the Gellibrand River (2) the residence times of groundwater in the upland plain (3) the importance of recharge via direct precipitation and river water infiltration on the upland plain and (4) the sources of water and residence times of water draining the upper catchment of the Gellibrand River. These processes are investigated using environmental tracers in combination with water level monitoring and stream discharge data. The Gellibrand River is gaining throughout the year with groundwater inflows accounting for between 10 and 50% of river flow. Groundwater residence times in the upland plain determined by 14C measurements are between 100 and 10,000 years with groundwater originating from the regional recharge zone, the Barongarook High. Regional discharge of groundwater from the Barongarook High in the upland plain limits the depth to which local recharge infiltrates and additionally, the river does not recharge local groundwater even during high discharge events. The upper catchment contributes significant amounts of water to the Gellibrand River, especially during rainfall events. This is attributed to rapid preferential flow through soil pipes which drain soil water on hillslopes, with little contribution from the Riparian Zone. Mean residence times of a first order stream (Barramunga River) and the upper Gellibrand River are between 6 and 16 years with the application of 3H providing the first age estimates of water draining headwater catchments in Australia. The process understanding gained and use of environmental tracers throughout the thesis can be applied to catchments worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated and expanded edition provides a thorough understanding of the measurable properties of groundwater systems and the knowledge to apply hydrochemical, geological, isotopic, and dating approaches to their work. This volume includes question and answer discussions for key concepts presented in the text and the basic hydrological, geological, and physical parameters to be observed and measured. Chemical and Isotopic Groundwater Hydrology, Third Edition covers the chemical tools of groundwater hydrology, the isotopic composition of water and groundwater dating by tritum, carbon-14, Cl-36, and He-4, as well as the application of fossil groundwater as a paleoclimatic indicator.

Download or read book Basin Futures written by Daniel Connell and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book brings together 27 chapters from some of the world's leading practitioners and experts on environmental water, communities, law, economics and governance. Its goal is to understand the many dimensions of water in the Murray-Darling Basin and provide guidance about how to implement a water management plan that addresses the needs of communities, the economy and the environment. The comprehensiveness of topics covered, the expertise of its authors, and the absolute need to take a multidisciplinary approach to resolving the "wicked problem" of governing our scarce water resource makes this volume a must read for all who care about Australian communities and the environment.

Book Flooded Forest and Desert Creek

Download or read book Flooded Forest and Desert Creek written by Matthew Colloff and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The river red gum has the most widespread natural distribution of Eucalyptus in Australia, forming extensive forests and woodlands in south-eastern Australia and providing the structural and functional elements of important floodplain and wetland ecosystems. Along ephemeral creeks in the arid Centre it exists as narrow corridors, providing vital refugia for biodiversity. The tree has played a central role in the tension between economy, society and environment and has been the subject of enquiries over its conservation, use and management. Despite this, we know remarkably little about the ecology and life history of the river red gum: its longevity; how deep its roots go; what proportion of its seedlings survive to adulthood; and the diversity of organisms associated with it. More recently we have begun to move from a culture of exploitation of river red gum forests and woodlands to one of conservation and sustainable use. In Flooded Forest and Desert Creek, the author traces this shift through the rise of a collective environmental consciousness, in part articulated through the depiction of river red gums and inland floodplains in art, literature and the media.
