| groundwater and wells third edition: Modeling Groundwater Flow and Pollution Jacob Bear, Arnold Verruijt, 2012-12-06 Groundwater constitutes an important component of many water resource systems, supplying water for domestic use, for industry, and for agriculture. Management of a groundwater system, an aquifer, or a system of aquifers, means making such decisions as to the total quantity of water to be withdrawn annually, the location of wells for pumping and for artificial recharge and their rates, and control conditions at aquifer boundaries. Not less important are decisions related to groundwater qUality. In fact, the quantity and quality problems cannot be separated. In many parts of the world, with the increased withdrawal of ground water, often beyond permissible limits, the quality of groundwater has been continuously deteriorating, causing much concern to both suppliers and users. In recent years, in addition to general groundwater quality aspects, public attention has been focused on groundwater contamination by hazardous industrial wastes, by leachate from landfills, by oil spills, and by agricultural activities such as the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, and by radioactive waste in repositories located in deep geological formations, to mention some of the most acute contamination sources. In all these cases, management means making decisions to achieve goals without violating specified constraints. In order to enable the planner, or the decision maker, to compare alternative modes of action and to ensure that the constraints are not violated, a tool is needed that will provide information about the response of the system (the aquifer) to various alternatives. |
| groundwater and wells third edition: Taming the Anarchy Tushaar Shah, 2010-09-30 In 1947, British India-the part of South Asia that is today's India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh-emerged from the colonial era with the world's largest centrally managed canal irrigation infrastructure. However, as vividly illustrated by Tushaar Shah, the orderly irrigation economy that saved millions of rural poor from droughts and famines is now a vast atomistic system of widely dispersed tube-wells that are drawing groundwater without permits or hindrances. Taming the Anarchy is about the development of this chaos and the prospects to bring it under control. It is about both the massive benefit that the irrigation economy has created and the ill-fare it threatens through depleted aquifers and pollution. Tushaar Shah brings exceptional insight into a socio-ecological phenomenon that has befuddled scientists and policymakers alike. In systematic fashion, he investigates the forces behind the transformation of South Asian irrigation and considers its social, economic, and ecological impacts. He considers what is unique to South Asia and what is in common with other developing regions. He argues that, without effective governance, the resulting groundwater stress threatens the sustenance of the agrarian system and therefore the well being of the nearly one and a half billion people who live in South Asia. Yet, finding solutions is a formidable challenge. The way forward in the short run, Shah suggests, lies in indirect, adaptive strategies that change the conduct of water users. From antiquity until the 1960‘s, agricultural water management in South Asia was predominantly the affair of village communities and/or the state. Today, the region depends on irrigation from some 25 million individually owned groundwater wells. Tushaar Shah provides a fascinating economic, political, and cultural history of the development and use of technology that is also a history of a society in transition. His book provides powerful ideas and lessons for researchers, historians, and policy |

| groundwater and wells third edition: Seawater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers Jacob Bear, A. Cheng, S. Sorek, D. Ouazar, I. Herrera, 2013-03-09 Coastal aquifers serve as major sources for freshwater supply in many countries around the world, especially in arid and semi-arid zones. Many coastal areas are also heavily urbanized, a fact that makes the need for freshwater even more acute. Coastal aquifers are highly sensitive to disturbances. Inappropriate management of a coastal aquifer may lead to its destruction as a source for freshwater much earlier than other aquifers which are not connected to the sea. The reason is the threat of seawater intrusion. In many coastal aquifers, intrusion of seawater has become one of the major constraints imposed on groundwater utilization. As sea water intrusion progresses, existing pumping wells, especially those close to the coast, become saline and have to be abandoned. Also, the area above the intruding seawater wedge is lost as a source of natural replenishment to the aquifer. Despite the importance of this subject, so far there does not exist a book that integrates our present knowledge of seawater intrusion, its occurrences, physical mechanism, chemistry, exploration by geo physical and geochemical techniques, conceptual and mathematical modeling, analytical and numerical solution methods, engineering measures of combating seawater intrusion, management strategies, and experience learned from case studies. By presenting this fairly comprehensive volume on the state-of-the-art of knowledge and ex perience on saltwater intrusion, we hoped to transfer this body of knowledge to the geologists, hydrologists, hydraulic engineers, water resources planners, managers, and governmental policy makers, who are engaged in the sustainable development of coastal fresh ground water resources. |
| groundwater and wells third edition: Hydrogeology of Crystalline Rocks I. Stober, Kurt Bucher, 1999-12-31 Hydrogeology of Crystalline Rocks deals with deep groundwater in the granite and gneiss basement of the continents. It has become evident during the past years that highly mineralized water is present in an interconnected fracture network of the basement. Thus, the upper part of the crust of the continents can be viewed as an aquifer and investigated with tools common in hydrogeology. This book presents accounts on water-conducting features of crystalline rocks and summarizes the hydraulic properties of the basement. The volume includes reviews, new data and research on the often remarkable chemical composition of deep groundwater. Microbial processes in the deep basement aquifer are probably more important than previously thought. Two contributions focus on this recent extension of research of the biosphere to greater depth in the Earth. This book represents the first multidisciplinary and integrated account of deep groundwater hydrology in crystalline basement. It is of interest to hydrologists and hydrogeologists working with water in crystalline rocks, but also to solid earth geophysicists, geochemists and petrologists with an interest in fluids in the crust. Scientists involved in nuclear waste disposal programs and geothermal energy development will find a wealth of stimulating ideas in this volume. |

| groundwater and wells third edition: A comprensive Guide for Groundwater Science Chaitanya S Agarwal, 2025-02-14 Groundwater studies require a systematic approach, beginning with reconnaissance surveys and desk studies, and progressing to the establishment of monitoring wells and water level measurements. These activities provide data that enable hydrogeologists to model groundwater flow, assess aquifer properties, and plan sustainable water extraction strategies. Proper well inventories and monitoring also contribute to understanding the effects of groundwater withdrawal and help inform sustainable water management policies. The use of maps in groundwater studies is essential, as they allow hydrogeologists to visualize topographical, geological, and hydrological information. Maps like hydrogeological maps, soil maps, and isopleth (contour) maps help identify recharge and discharge zones, groundwater flow direction, and aquifer properties. Such tools are invaluable for planning well placement, managing groundwater quality, and assessing contamination risks. The integration of various mapping techniques allows for more informed decision-making, which is crucial for sustainable groundwater management. An important focus of the book is on groundwater recharge, both natural and artificial. Given the rapid depletion of groundwater resources in many regions, artificial recharge methods such as rooftop rainwater harvesting (RWH), construction of inverted recharge wells, and other techniques provide solutions to replenish aquifers. However, it’s also highlighted that not all recharge methods are suitable for every region, and factors like soil type, land use, and climate play a significant role in their effectiveness. Geomorphological studies and morphometric analysis offer insights into groundwater potential zones. These analyses provide a deeper understanding of how the landscape influences groundwater recharge and availability, helping hydrogeologists to identify high-potential areas for groundwater extraction and management. Moreover, the focus on pumping tests, aquifer parameter determination, and groundwater budget techniques helps to quantify the amount of water that can be sustainably extracted without harming the aquifer system. This is particularly important in regions facing acute water shortages or contamination risks, as over extraction can cause irreversible damage to groundwater resources. The sustainability of groundwater systems is the overarching theme of this book. Exceeding the sustainable yield of aquifers has serious consequences, not only for water availability but also for agriculture, industries, and society at large. A properly managed groundwater budget ensures that withdrawals do not outpace the natural or artificial recharge of aquifers. Therefore, managing groundwater sustainably must include careful planning, monitoring, and adjusting extraction rates based on real-time data and scientific modelling. Groundwater quality is equally crucial, as contaminated groundwater can pose serious risks to public health and ecosystems. The book underscores the importance of regular monitoring and the development of water quality maps to identify contamination sources and manage them effectively. Additionally, it explores methods to improve water quality, which is especially important for ensuring the safe use of groundwater for drinking and irrigation. This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding, managing, and protecting groundwater resources from basic hydrogeological principles to advanced mapping, recharge techniques, and policy recommendations, it offers essential guidance for hydrogeologists, policymakers, and water resource managers. |
