Groundwater in karst aquifers is frequently tapped for drinking purposes, due to frequent huge volumes of resources. Unfortunately, vulnerability these can be high, possible fast transfer recharge water on springs by the network. On Gran Sasso Mountain regional aquifer, several are subjected withdrawal and an updated evaluation their potential now a fundamental issue considered, facing climate change effects, which reflect variation discharge regimen values. To distinguish between different...
Sandstones are characterized by different hydraulic behaviours and need to be modelled in various ways represent groundwater flow contaminant transport. This review shows how sandstone aquifers within the UK Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group can represented using three modelling approaches: Conduit Network, Discrete Fracture Network Equivalent Porous Medium. The aquifer is dominated matrix Eastern England Shelf, Worcester, Needwood Staffordshire basins. Here, as Media at spatial scales....
The relative importance of karst conduits and fractures in driving groundwater flow affects the discharge springs long-term availability water resources. Applying statistics to hydrographs studying recessions provide information on degree reliability variability and, therefore, regime within saturated part carbonate aquifers. This approach was applied six at Gran Sasso aquifer Central Italy. These were divided into three structural geological groups that determined position permeability...
Contaminants that are highly soluble in groundwater rapidly transported via fractures mechanically resistant sedimentary rock aquifers. Hence, a rigorous methodology is needed to estimate flow velocities such fractured Here, we propose an approach using borehole hydraulic testing compute un-faulted area of carbonate aquifer by applying the cubic law parallel plate model. The Cadeby Formation (Yorkshire, NE England) - Permian dolostone present beneath University Leeds Farm selected for this...
Geothermal reservoirs are highly anisotropic and heterogeneous, thus require a variety of structural geology, geomechanical, remote sensing, geophysical hydraulic techniques to inform Discrete Fracture Network flow models. Following the Paris Agreement on reduction carbon emissions, such have received more attention new that support models were developed. A comprehensive review is therefore needed merge innovative traditional technical approaches into coherent framework enhance extraction...
Sandstone aquifers are challenging to characterize, model and review due interplays between intergranular porosities, narrow fractures rock discontinuities enlarged by the groundwater flow (Tellam Barker 2006; Hitchmough et al. 2007, Bashar Tellam 2011, Medici 2019). New data collected, advances in hydraulic testing modelling techniques should guide next steps on research sandstone worldwide. The contribution of West (2022) is intended point hydrogeological community towards more novel...
Fluvial sedimentary successions represent porous media that host groundwater and geothermal resources. Additionally, they overlie crystalline rocks hosting nuclear waste repositories in rift settings. The permeability characteristics of an arenaceous fluvial succession, the Triassic St Bees Sandstone Formation England (UK), are described, from core-plug to well-test scale up ~1 km depth. Within such lithified successions, dissolution associated with circulation meteoric water results...
Abstract Viruses and bacteria which are characterized by finite lives in the subsurface rapidly transported via fractures cavities fractured karst aquifers. Here, we demonstrate how coupling of a robust outcrop characterization hydrogeophysical borehole testing is essential for prediction contaminant velocities hence wellhead protection areas. To show this, use dolostones Permian Magnesian Limestone aquifer NE England, where incorporated such information groundwater flow particle tracking...
Abstract Fluvio-aeolian sedimentary successions host groundwater aquifers at shallow depths (<~0.15 km), which overlie geothermal and shale-gas reservoirs, nuclear waste repositories intermediate (~0.15–2.0 km). Additionally, such deposits represent petroleum reservoirs greater (~2.0–4.0 The need to improve conceptual understanding of the hydraulic behaviour fluvial-aeolian sandstone over a large depth interval (~0–4 km) is important for socio-economic reasons. Thus, properties Triassic...
Fluvial and aeolian sedimentary successions host important hydrocarbon resources as well major groundwater aquifers. This review of the lithological characteristics Triassic fluvio‐aeolian Sherwood Sandstone Group (United Kingdom) demonstrates how distance from a fluvial sediment source rate rift‐related tectonic subsidence play roles in governing reservoir quality continental successions. Increasing area results increased porosity permeability deposits mixed that accumulated arid semiarid...
The distribution of channel deposits in fluvial reservoirs is commonly modeled with object-based techniques, constrained on quantities describing the geometries bodies. To ensure plausible simulations, it common to define inputs these models by referring geologic analogs. Given their ability reproduce complex and draw upon analog experience, are considered inherently realistic. Yet this perceived realism has not hitherto been tested assessing outputs techniques against sedimentary...
Beam shaping - the ability to engineer phase and amplitude of massive massless particles has long interested scientists working on communication, imaging foundations quantum mechanics. In light optics, electromagnetic waves (photons) can be achieved using techniques that include, but are not limited to, direct manipulation beam source (as in X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) Synchrotrons), deformable mirrors, spatial modulators, mode converters holograms. The recent introduction holographic...
