The permeability of bedrock aquifers varies by more than four orders of magnitude between
different lithologies, but the reasons for this large range remain unexplained. In this review …

Turbulent flow has a different hydraulic response compared to laminar flow and so it is
important to be able to identify its occurrence in an aquifer, and to predict where it is likely to …

Water Wells and Boreholes focuses on wells that are used for drinking, industry, agriculture
or other supply purposes. Other types of wells and boreholes are also covered, including …

The Chalk is an unusual karst aquifer with limited cave development, but extensive networks
of smaller solutional conduits and fissures enabling rapid groundwater flow. Small-scale …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group is renowned as a major aquifer, but the
development of secondary porosity due to karstic conduits is poorly understood …

Two years of self‐potential (SP) measurements were made in a monitoring borehole in the
coastal UK Chalk aquifer. The borehole SP data showed a persistent gradient with depth …

We propose that cycling hydrocarbon rains on Saturn's moon Titan are likely to create
subsurface conduits through dissolution geology of the extensive organic and largely …

Groundwater ecosystems remain poorly understood yet may provide ecosystem services,
make a unique contribution to biodiversity and contain useful bio-indicators of water quality …

Limestone aquifers constitute important drinking water resources but are vulnerable to
groundwater contaminations. They are also known to be often heterogeneous. However, the …

Carbonate aquifers are some of most challenging to characterize because dissolution can
greatly enhance permeability, but its effects are often difficult to determine. This study …
