The two lagoon stations represent the boundary conditions of two different water bodies that have been registered as intercalibration sites for the European Water Framework Directive. Sampling coincided with high and low water conditions, at the summer and winter solstice, and at the spring and ...
(iii) flooding of the mine workings and surrounding strata, possibly causing geotechnical problems, such as accelerated mine gas emissions and/or renewed subsidence; and (iv) discharge of water from the flooded workings to adjoining surface and subsurface water bodies, which can cause localized ...
Thirteen locations were examined referring to the vegetation and alien species in particular. The locations were the areas surrounding anthropogenic water bodies in Kraków and vicinity. Most of them were borrow pits left to the process of natural succession. In all the locations alien species, inclu...
temperatures relative to the surrounding environment. These cooler temperatures are driven by higher evaporative rates from soil and water bodies influenced by groundwater and higher transpiration rates due to a more abundant water supply available to phreatophytic vegetation36. Although GDEs exist in bo...
(Europe, Mediterranean), Hong Kong (Asia, warm with dry winters) and Toronto (North America, temperate). We analysed average monthly precipitation and solar irradiance data to estimate rainwater supply potential and solar energy generation capacity (Supplementary Tables3.2–3.7). While we acknowledge ...
groundwater bodies. Automobile oil must be reused as much as possible as it reduces the discarded amount of used oil, which generally ends up polluting nearby water bodies otherwise. It is also important to keep vehicles in good condition to avoid the leakage of motor fluids like lubricants, ...
Since assumptions of horizontal homogeneity and zero subsidence are valid for the atmosphere above large water bodies, moisture flux in the atmosphere above marine water bodies would follow the similarity relations. Here, \(u_*\) is the friction velocity, \(d_o\) is displacement height (0.001 ...
The aim of this study was to identify ecosystems associated with or dependent on groundwater in Croatia, to define the method of estimating the quantitative groundwater status and its quality in relation to ecosystem requirements and, accordingly, to assess the status of groundwater bodies. The st...
Water in areservoirmay be lost by surfaceevaporation, byseepageinto the surrounding soil or rocks, and by seepage throughdamfoundations. Seepage losses ordinarily can be reduced, but evaporation losses are often of major consequence. Gross evaporation from water surfaces in the temperate and tropical...
(1.78×10−5m2s−1). These characteristics have been exploited to limit the rate of sulfide-mineral oxidation by covering mine wastes with water. Subaqueous disposal can be achieved by depositing the wastes in natural water bodies, including lakes or marine systems, or in constructed ...
