We discuss techniques to represent groundwater flow in carbonate aquifers using the three
existing modeling approaches: equivalent porous medium, conduit network, and discrete …

Tracer methods have been widely used in many fields of environmental and natural
sciences, and also in human health sciences. In particular, tracers are used in the study of …

We review scale dependence of hydraulic conductivities and effective porosities for
prediction of contaminant transport in four UK karst aquifers. Approaches for obtaining …

Karst aquifers are important drinking water resources, but highly vulnerable to
contamination. Contaminants can be transported rapidly through a network of fractures and …

Ensuring mining safety and efficiency relies heavily on identifying the source of mine water
inrush. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of standard methods …

Hydraulic tomography (HT) is a well-established approach to successfully describe
subsurface hydraulic heterogeneity. This work explored the potential of HT and the …

Breakthrough curves (BTCs) are known as adequate evidence to characterize karst aquifers
which mainly specified by dual flow systems (matrix and conduit) as well as some degree of …

Protecting karst aquifers from nitrate contamination is an issue of global concern due to the
inherent vulnerability of karst aquifers to contamination and the negative health effects of …

Using the reservoir model theory, this study developed an equation for the relationship
between the transfer and recession coefficients under a matrix-restrained flow regime …

Preferential flow can result in rapid contamination of groundwater resources. This is
particularly true in aquifers with connected, high permeability geologic structures and in …
