Developing and continuously improving effective feasible methods to estimate groundwater recharge is essential ensure sustainable resource assessment. Mountain environments represent key areas for the regional water balance. In this study, isotope profile method was used investigate fluxes through vadose zone subsequent in a Mediterranean mountain environment. Six high-resolution soil profiles were taken at two different locations Troodos Massif (Cyprus) eastern Mediterranean, focusing on...
Quantifying evapotranspiration and drainage losses is essential for improving irrigation efficiency. The FAO-56 the most popular method computing crop evapotranspiration. There is, however, a need locally derived coefficients (Kc) with high temporal resolution to reduce errors in water balance. aim of this paper introduce dynamic Kc approach, based on Leaf Area Index (LAI) observations, balance computations. Soil moisture meteorological data were collected terraced nectarine (Prunus persica...
The origin of groundwater recharge and subsequent flow paths are often difficult to establish in fractured, multi-lithological, highly compartmentalized aquifers such as the Troodos Fractured Aquifer (TFA). As conjunctive use stable isotopes hydrogeochemical data provides additional information, we established a monitoring network for precipitation Cyprus. local meteoric water line, altitude effect seasonal variation derived from data. Stable combined model water-rock interactions evolution...
<p>Monitoring and profiling the isotopic composition of soil water in combination with groundwater isotope hydrology are commonly used studying flow transport soils as well estimating recharge. Establishing local precipitation is essence. Towards this end facilitating application Troodos Fractured Aquifer (TFA), was monitored 16 sampling stations, stretching from shoreline up to 1725 m above m.s.l., January 2015 December 2017. A seasonal trend discerned, isotopically depleted...
Chromium (Cr) is a metal well-known to cause environmental pollution due its association with number of industrial processes involving leather, steel, electroplating, chemicals, dyes and paints. It toxic plants microorganisms, study attracting lot attention increasing occurrence in groundwater under current changing climate scenaria. Of the several valence states Cr, trivalent [Cr(III)] hexavalent [Cr(VI)] species are stable forms. Cr(VI) considered as more than relatively innocuous less...
The origin and distribution of hexavalent chromium, Cr (VI) over four seasonal cycles was investigated through a conceptual model that included three aquifer systems in Cyprus. An extensive water sampling grid covered two areas known sea intrusion the local coastal aquifers, namely Kokkinochoria (Area 1) Kiti 2) mountainous ophiolite complex Troodos 3). Sources anthropogenic contamination were points proximity to agricultural industrial environments. Analytical results give good insight...
