A model ensemble generator to explore structural uncertainty in karst systems with unmapped conduits
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-10-02)Karst aquifers are characterized by high-conductivity conduits embedded in a low-conductivity fractured matrix, resulting in extreme heterogeneity and variable groundwater flow behavior. The conduit network controls ... -
Combining implicit geological modeling, field surveys, and hydrogeological modeling to describe groundwater flow in a karst aquifer
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-09-15)Abstract In three-dimensional (3-D) implicit geological modeling, the bounding surfaces between geological units are automatically constructed from lithological contact data (position and orientation) and the ... -
Comparative application and optimization of different single-borehole dilution test techniques
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-12-05)Single-borehole dilution tests (SBDTs) are a method for characterizing groundwater monitoring wells and boreholes, and are based on the injection of a tracer into the saturated zone and the observation of concentration ... -
Fate of nitrate during groundwater recharge in a fractured karst aquifer in Southwest Germany
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2021-02-18)Over the past decades, fractured and karst groundwater systems have been studied intensively due to their high vulnerability to nitrate (NO3−) contamination, yet nitrogen (N) turnover processes within ... -
Hydrochemical evaluation of water resources and human impacts on an urban karst system, Jordan
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-06-05)Urban karst aquifers are threatened by anthropogenic activities, especially in semiarid developing countries. Recent water-sampling campaigns assessed the extent of groundwater-quality impairment in the Wadi Shueib in ... -
Integrating field work and large-scale modeling to improve assessment of karst water resources
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-10-31)Comprehensive management of karst water resources requires sufficient understanding of their dynamics and karst-specific modeling tools. However, the limited availability of observations of karstic groundwater dynamics has ... -
Spatial and temporal dynamics of suspended particles and E. coli in a complex surface-water and karst groundwater system as a basis for an adapted water protection scheme, northern Vietnam
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2021-05-28)Karst aquifers in subtropical regions are characterized by high variability of water availability and quality due to changes associated with rainy and dry seasons. An additional challenge for water management is the ...
