Abstract: This study developed an indicator generalized parameterization (IGP) method to cope with the problem of selecting interpolation points in estimating hydraulic conductivity fields. The IGP method introduced data indicators ...

Abstract: Groundwater recharge plays a vital role in replenishing aquifers, which impacts on groundwater resources availability. This paper develops a geographic information system (GIS)-based water budget framework in conjunction ...

Abstract: Groundwater remediation designs rely on simulation models that are subjected to various sources of uncertainty. This study introduces a hierarchical Bayesian model averaging (HBMA) method to segregate sources of uncertainty ...

Abstract: The factor of safety (FS) of levees and floodwalls with relief wells to underseepage is predicated on the blanket thickness and relief well performance. In urban environments with limited right of way, relief wells are an ...

Abstract: A conjunctive-use model is developed for management of groundwater and surface water resources via mixed integer linear fractional programming (MILFP). The objective of the conjunctive-use model is to maximize the ratio ...

Abstract: This research investigated the sorption and transport of MS-2 in saturated sand under a wide range of salinities using one-dimensional column experiments. The salinity varied from 0 ppt (fresh water) to 30 ppt. The MS-2 ...

Abstract: Challenges exist in managing groundwater resources because of spatiotemporally variable pumping activities as well as complex subsurface hydrogeology. In addition, excessive water exploitation induces an imbalance among ...

Abstract: This study compares the differences in calculated relief well performance at the Profit Island vicinity levee (PIVL) near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, between the three-dimensional (3D) USGS MODFLOW-USG groundwater model and ...
