The Ljubljansko polje aquifer, which is the main supply of drinking water for local population in Ljubljana, Slovenia highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pollution. In this study, geochemistry major constituents including nitrate concentrations and dual isotopes were used ascertain spatial distribution processes sources groundwater from seven wells at three different supplies: Kleče, Hrastje Jarški prod. Ca2+-Mg2+-HCO3- type approaching equilibrium with respect dolomite are moderately...
Coupled measurements of nitrate (NO3−), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) isotopic composition (δ15NNO3 δ18ONO3) were used to investigate the sources processes N cycling, while microbial source tracking (MST) method was identify microbiological pollution in surface water Sava River Basin (SRB) autumn 2014 2015 during high low discharge. Atmospheric deposition or nitrate-containing fertilizers found not be significant riverine SRB. The ranges isotope values suggest that NO3− SRB derives from soil...
Lysimeter systems play a crucial role in understanding the complex interactions within soil-plant-atmosphere  continuum.  In  the  context  of  climate  change,  where  precise  insights  into  water  and nutrient fluxes, energy exchange, and greenhouse gas dynamics are essential, lysimeters equipped with advanced hydraulic thermal controls increasingly indispensable. A key...
River basin aquifers are common sites for drinking water wells as bank filtration can be a cost effective pretreatment technology. A groundwater vulnerability to pollution depends on mean residence time and relative contribution of river versus local precipitation groundwater. Environmental isotopes oxygen hydrogen (δ18O δ2H), tritium (3H) concentrations nitrate (NO3−) were used investigate hydrological pathways, interactions between surface in the Ljubljansko polje aquifer system Slovenia....
In this paper, we present an assessment of the sensitivity groundwater-surface water interactions to climate change in alluvial aquifer, located Ljubljansko polje, Slovenia. The investigation is motivated by a recent pressures on balance Sava River Basin (Gampe et al., 2016). was performed using comprehensive hydrological modelling approach, which based direct/indirect communication between FEFLOW and WaSiM/MIKE 11. This framework provides precise simulation critical processes study domain,...
Abstract Purpose The first comprehensive evaluation and trend analysis of long-term nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) data was performed for the Sava River Basin (SRB) at locations in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia. Materials methods Data on water quality eight selected were evaluated statistically based period reporting, availability flow data, experience from our previous investigations. Trends NO 3 − PO 4 3− concentrations identified using simple linear regressions log-transformed data. Results...
Groundwater and surface water are strongly connected. Therefore, understanding their interactions is important when studying the balance of a complex aquatic system. This paper aims to present an integrated approach study such processes, including better hydrological system behavior in Ljubljansko polje (Slovenia). The based on multivariate statistical analyses data collected over long period, isotopic composition groundwater, river water, precipitation. hydrology domain was also simulated...
Clean energy for all, as listed in the United Nation’s SDG7, is a key component sustainable environmental development. Therefore, it imperative to uncover implications of alternative technologies. SustainableGAS project simulates different process chains substitution natural gas with renewable energies German market. The follows an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account techno-social and variabilities. However, this research highlights results from perspective. So far, detailed...
Soil temperature plays a central role in the complex processes vadose zone, particularly connection with water and solute transport. As major thermal factor, soil influences not only physical properties of soil, but also biochemical reactions responsible for transport solutes. The variation can have significant effects on mobility nutrients pollutants thus key understanding controlling important processes. Ecotrons combination weighable lysimeters are generally able to investigate ecological...
In Europe, 1132 Mt of sand and gravel were mined in 2019, which causes major changes to the hydrogeological cycle. Such may lead significantly raised or lowered groundwater levels. Therefore, aggregate sector has ensure that impacts on existing environmental water infrastructures are kept a minimum post-mining phase. risk assessments often made by empirical methods, based assumptions do not meet real aquifer conditions. To investigate this effect, predictions numerical methods about...
