Seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers can increase groundwater salinity beyond potable levels, endangering access to freshwater for millions of people. Seawater intrusion is particularly likely where water tables lie below sea level, but can also aris
The majority of public tap water is derived from surface and ground water, such as lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and underground aquifers. The water is processed through municipal water treatment plants by different chemical and physical methods depending on the source and quality of the water. Treatm...
Evaluation of Groundwater Resources in Minor Plio-Pleistocene Arenaceous Aquifers in Central ItalyThe hilly landscape of the Periadric area in Central Italy is characterized by mainly marly–clayey foredeep basin deposits (Plio–Pleistocene age). These lithotypes are generally considered aquicludes, ...
The technology used involves a connection system between dams and marshes that channel the water towards the bay, cleaning it and supplying the aquifers. The prize awarded was $125 million, fully invested in the construction of the site, which will be completed by 2022. The strengths of the ...
Evolution of the Water Table in a Finite Aquifer Due to Transient Recharge from Two Parallel Strip Basins Understanding the dynamic response of phreatic aquifers due to recharge is most important for the proper management of ground-water systems. In this paper ... S.N. Rai,R.N. Singh - 《...

The inadequate public water supply in Osogbo metropolis, Southwest Nigeria, necessitates the extraction of groundwater from shallow aquifers via hand dug wells and boreholes as an alternative source of potable water. However, crystalline rock aquifers are localized and discontinuous with limited ...
