Book Groundwater Surface Water Interactions

Download or read book Groundwater Surface Water Interactions written by Habil. Jörg Lewandowski and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a paradigm shift in our understanding of groundwater–surface water interactions: surface water and aquifers were long considered discrete, separate entities; they are now understood as integral components of a surface–subsurface continuum. This book provides an overview of current research advances and innovative approaches in groundwater–surface water interactions. The 20 research articles and 1 communication cover a wide range of thematic scopes, scales, and experimental and modelling methods across different disciplines (hydrology, aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, and environmental pollution). The book identifies current knowledge gaps and reveals the challenges in establishing standardized measurement, observation, and assessment approaches. It includes current hot topcis with environmental and societal relevance such as eutrophication, retention of legacy, and emerging pollutants (e.g., pharmaceuticals and microplastics), urban water interfaces, and climate change impacts. The book demonstrates the relevance of processes at groundwater–surface water interfaces for (1) regional water balances and (2) quality and quantity of drinking water resources. As such, this book represents the long-awaited transfer of the above-mentioned paradigm shift in understanding of groundwater–surface water interactions from science to practice.

Book Semi analytical Methods for Simulating the Groundwater surface Water Interface

Download or read book Semi analytical Methods for Simulating the Groundwater surface Water Interface written by Ali A. Ameli and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundwater-surface water interaction is a key component of the hydrologic cycle. This interaction plays a key role in many environmental issues such as the impacts of land use and climate change on water availability and water quality. Modeling of local and regional groundwater-surface water interactions improves understanding of these environmental issues and assists in addressing them. Because of the physical and mathematical complexities of this interaction, numerical approaches are generally used to model water exchange between subsurface and surface domains. The efficiency, accuracy, and stability of mesh-based numerical models, however, depend upon the resolution of the underlying grid or mesh. Grid-free analytical methods can provide fast, accurate, continuous and differentiable solutions to groundwater-surface water interaction problems. These solutions exactly satisfy mass balance in the entire internal domain and may improve our understanding of groundwater-surface water interaction principles. However, to model this interaction, analytical approaches typically required simplifying, sometimes unrealistic, assumptions. They are typically used to implement linearized mathematical models in homogenous confined or semi-confined aquifers with geometrically regular domains. By benefiting from the strengths of both analytical and numerical approaches, grid-free semi-analytical methods may be able to address more challenging groundwater problems which have been out of reach of traditional analytical approaches, and/or are poorly simulated using mesh-based numerical methods. Here, novel 2-D and 3-D semi-analytical solutions for the simulation of mathematically and physically complex groundwater-surface water interaction problems are developed, assessed and applied. Those models are based upon the series solution method and analytic element method (AEM) and are intended to address groundwater-surface water interactions induced by pumping wells and/or the presence of surface water bodies in naturally complex stratified unconfined aquifers. Semi-analytical solutions are obtained using the least squares method, which is used to determine the unknown coefficients in the series expansion and the unknown strengths of analytic elements. The series and AEM solutions automatically satisfy the groundwater governing equation. Hence, the resulting solutions are exact over the entire domain except along boundaries and layer interfaces where boundary and continuity conditions are met with high precision. A robust iterative algorithm is used to implement a free boundary condition along the phreatic surface with a priori unknown location. This thesis addresses three general problem types never addressed within a semi-analytic framework. First, a steady-state free boundary semi-analytical series solutions model is developed to simulate 2-D saturated-unsaturated flow in geometrically complex stratified unconfined aquifers. The saturated-unsaturated flow is controlled by water exchange along the land surface (e.g., evapotranspiration and infiltration) and the presence of surface water bodies. The water table and capillary fringe are allowed to intersect stratigraphic interfaces. The capillary fringe zone, unsaturated zone, groundwater zone and their interactions are incorporated with a high degree of accuracy. This model is used to assess the influences of important factors on unsaturated flow behavior and the water table elevation. Second, a 3-D free boundary semi-analytical series solution model is developed to simulate groundwater-surface water interaction controlled by infiltration, seepage faces and surface water bodies along the land surface. This model can simulate the water exchange between groundwater and surface water in geometrically complex stratified phreatic (unconfined) aquifers. The a priori unknown phreatic surface will be obtained iteratively while the locations of seepage faces don't have to be known a priori (i.e., this is a constrained free boundary problem).

Book E agriculture in action  Drones for agriculture

Download or read book E agriculture in action Drones for agriculture written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FAO-ITU E-agriculture strategy guide (available at http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5564e.pdf) is actively being used to assist countries in the successful identification, development and implementation of sustainable ICT solutions for agriculture.The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, and connected analytics has great potential to support and address some of the most pressing problems faced by agriculture in terms of access to actionable real-time quality data. Goldman Sachs predicts that the agriculture sector will be the second largest user of drones in the world in the next five years. Sensor networks based on the Internet of things (IoT) are increasingly being used in the agriculture sector to meet the challenge of harvesting meaningful and actionable information from the big data generated by these systems. This publication is the second in the series titled E-agriculture in action (2016), launched by FAO and ITU, and builds on the previous FAO publications that highlight the use of ICT for agriculture such as Mobile technologies for agriculture and rural development (2012), Information and communication technologies for agriculture and rural development (2013) and Success stories on information and communication technologies for agriculture and rural development (2015). The ultimate aim is to promote successful, scalable, sustainable and replicable ICT for agriculture (ICT4Ag) solutions.

Book Saline Groundwater   Surface Water Interaction in Coastal Lowlands

Download or read book Saline Groundwater Surface Water Interaction in Coastal Lowlands written by J.R. Delsman and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal zones are among the world's most densely populated and economically important areas, but these factors put pressure on the often limited available freshwater resources. Global change will undoubtedly increase this pressure through the combined effects of increased population, economic development, rising sea levels, increased evapotranspiration, over-extraction and the salinization of coastal aquifers, decreasing river discharges, and accelerating land subsidence. Saline groundwater exfiltration is a common problem in the coastal zone of the Netherlands, but the hydrological processes and physiographic factors that affect this are not fully understood. The research presented in this book aims to identify the processes and physiographic factors controlling the spatial variability and temporal dynamics of the exfiltration of saline groundwater to surface water, and hence the contribution of saline groundwater to surface water salinity. Topics covered include a paleo-hydrogeological model simulation of the Holocene evolution of groundwater salinity as a result of paleo-geographic changes; surface water salinity dynamics in a densely-drained lowland catchment; hydrograph separation in an agricultural catchment; observations of heads, flow, solute concentration and temperature to constrain a detailed, variable-density groundwater flow and transport model; and a model to simulate the salinity dynamics of exfiltrating groundwater to support operational water management of freshwater resources in coastal lowlands. The book further outlines the implications of these findings for freshwater management in the Netherlands. The book demonstrates that the salinity of groundwater exfiltrating in polders in the Netherlands, and hence surface water salinity, varies on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.

Book Catchment Scale Recharge Modelling

Download or read book Catchment Scale Recharge Modelling written by T. J. Hatton and published by CSIRO. This book was released on 1998 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper addresses the need to model recharge to groundwater systems at the scale of whole catchments. It looks at developing the right conceptual model of how water moves through a given landscape for both homogenous and heterogenous catchments. One-dimensional recharge models are considered. Discussion of which recharge modelling approach to use takes in consideration of the availablility of data, the nature of the questions being asked, and the expertise of the investigators.
