Abstract. Sustainable irrigation with treated wastewater (TWW) is a promising solution for water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions. Soil aquifer treatment (SAT) provides both the need tertiary seasonal storage of wastewater. Stresses over land use to control obtained quality makes optimization SAT great importance. This study looks into influence systems' operational dynamics (i.e., flooding drying periods) as well some aspects inflow biochemical composition on their biogeochemical...
Water reclamation through the use of soil aquifer treatment (SAT) is a sustainable water management technique with high potential for application in many regions worldwide. However, fate contaminants emerging concern (CECs) during infiltration treated wastewater SAT still matter research. This study investigates removal capacity 27 CECs by means experiments into 6 m column. Additionally, influence hydraulic operation systems on investigated changing wetting and drying cycle lengths. Sixteen...
Physical models such as surface infiltration experiments in the lab and field are an approach to understand processes unsaturated soil zone. In case of mapping influencing operation real-world managed aquifer recharge schemes they helpful tools determine interactions between zone, site-specific well operational parameters. However, multitude assumptions scale-related limitations downscale investigations often lead over- or underestimations, rendering their results useless when translated...
As an alternative to the use of tracers, easy-to-measure soil moisture dynamic parameters (e.g., water content) provide in situ estimates infiltration rate reduction state a medium. For instance, managed aquifer recharge operations control hydraulic their basins by measuring infiltrated volume under constant head conditions. Instantaneous profile measurement systems can be used manage determining over time. This study combines empirical methods Libardi, self-developed content and root mean...
Global and regional changes have significant financial, socio-economic environmental impact on water resources.This is manifested in severe depletion of groundwater levels, salinisation soils aquifers, increased pollution levels.In many cases though, this can be compensated through carefully designed adaptation measures.One such example represented by managed (artificial) aquifer recharge (MAR), method which implies the purposeful with surface for subsequent recovery or benefits.Over...
Infiltration experiments in the context of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) are often conducted to assess processes influencing operation full-scale MAR schemes. For this, physical models such as laboratory and, less often, field used determine process specifics or operational parameters. Due several assumptions, scale-related limitations, and differing boundary conditions, upscaling results from is not straightforward. Investigations lead over- underestimations flow that constrain translation...
