The last 60 years has seen unprecedented groundwater extraction and overdraft as well development of new technologies for water treatment that together drive the advance in intentional replenishment known managed aquifer recharge (MAR). This paper is first attempt to quantify volume MAR at global scale, illustrate advancement all major types relate these research regulatory advancements. Faced with changing climate rising intensity extremes, an increasingly important management strategy,...
Different types of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) schemes are widely distributed and applied on various scales for purposes in the European countries, but a systematic categorization compilation data has been missing up to now. The MAR catalogue presented herein contains key parameters collected from available literature. includes 224 currently active sites found 23 countries. Large quantities drinking water produced by Hungary, Slovakia, Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Poland, Switzerland...
Abstract Groundwater salinity is a widespread problem and challenge to water resources management. It an increasing concern in the alluvial plains of Delhi neighbouring Haryana state as well risk for agricultural production supply sustainable development. This study aims identify potential sources dissolved salts driving mechanisms ingress shallow aquifer. combines comprehensive review environmental conditions analysis groundwater samples from 25 sampling points. Major ions are analysed...
Effective decision-making in urban water management requires integrating outputs from specialized models. Berlin’s drinking supply relies on induced bank filtration and managed aquifer recharge the Spree Havel rivers. However, river inflows into Berlin are declining -e.g., summer 2019, Spree’s inflow was half that of an average dry year- expected to decrease further over next decade due ending coal sump discharge Spree. Long-term impacts climate change anticipated...
In the North German Basin, highly mineralised saline groundwaters are common below Lower Oligocene Rupelian clay. The Clay separates Quaternary and Tertiary freshwater aquifer complex from underlying is of great importance for groundwater management. However, brackish influenced by deep water found in where has been eroded. This often case above salt structures along Pleistocene channels deeply cut into strata. As a result this salinisation, various utilities Berlin-Brandenburg region,...
Emerging countries frequently afflicted by waterborne diseases require safe and cost-efficient production of drinking water, a task that is becoming more challenging as many rivers carry high degree pollution. A study was conducted on the banks Yamuna River, Delhi, India, to ascertain if riverbank filtration (RBF) can significantly improve quality highly polluted surface water in terms virus removal (coliphages, enteric viruses). Human adenoviruses noroviruses, both present River range 10(5)...
In 2015, the town of El Port de la Selva in Spain implemented soil-aquifer treatment (SAT) using tertiary treated wastewater effluents to replenish local potable aquifer. This study evaluated initial phase this indirect water reuse system including a characterization hydraulic conditions aquifer and monitoring microbial contaminants 151 chemicals emerging concern (CECs). The combined resulted very low abundances indicator bacteria, enteric viruses phages wells after three days infiltration...
Submersible data loggers are widely used for groundwater monitoring, but their application often runs the risk of hardware and loss through vandalism or theft. During a field study in India, authors this article experienced that well locks attract attention unauthorized persons do not provide secure protection unattended areas. To minimize losing loggers, cheap simple solution has been invented to hide instruments associated attachments below ground surface, inside observation wells. It...
In an attempt to obtain a conservative estimate of virus removal during slow sand and river bank filtration, somatic phage was isolated with decay poor adsorption coarse sand. We continuously fed suspension 7-m infiltration path measured the removal. second set experiments, we 1-m long columns run at different pore water velocities. Using data obtained, mathematical model constructed describing vs. velocity (PWV), assuming statistical distributions coefficient λ. The bimodal distribution...

<p>Biological communities present in the subsurface are essentially involved processes influencing water quality. Characterising temporal and spatial dynamics of microbial is key to understand place their influence on quality – particularly when used for drinking production. Due limitations automation sampling detection conventional, cultivation-based methods, a fully automatic flow cytometer (FCM) was employed combination with DNA sequencing at works Berlin,...
