Exploitation of groundwater has greatly increased since the 1970s to meet the increased
water demand due to fast economic development in China. Correspondingly, the regional …

How to measure the overall level of regional social economy, resources, and environment
and how to grasp the coordinated development between them has become a hot issue. In …

This work deals with a rainfall-discharge model applied to a well known karst aquifer. A new
approach is developed in order to minimize the fitting parameters: here, some of the model …

The agriculture sector plays a vital role in the economy, society, and environment, the three
dimensions of sustainability. The agriculture sector contributes 12% to 14% of global …

Spring discharge always illustrates the groundwater-flux and aquifer storage oscillations.
Because of inherent heterogeneity in karst environments, it is essential to mimic karst spring …

Karst aquifers are difficult to manage due to their unique hydrogeological characteristics.
Future climate projections suggest a strong change in temperature and precipitation regimes …

Recent studies identified the Mediterranean as a region particularly vulnerable to climate
change. Since a large fraction of the region's water originates from karst aquifers …

A rainfall-discharge model is applied to an aquifer characterized by active groundwater
management–the Lez karst aquifer in the South of France. Groundwater is withdrawn by …

Abstract In China, 9· 5% of the landmass is karst terrain and of that 47,000 km2 is located in
semiarid regions. In these regions the karst aquifers feed many large karst springs within …

Due to the big data exchange on the Internet of Things, proper routing and selecting the best
routes for fast data transmission improve network performance. There are major challenges …
