An integrated approach for the investigation of unconsolidated aquifers in a brackish environment - A case study on the Jordanian side of the lower Jordan Valley
(2008-09-18)In semi-arid areas groundwater systems are frequently not sufficiently characterized hydrogeologically and long term data records are generally not available. Long-term time series are necessary, however to design future ... -
An Integrated Approach of Analyzing Management Solutions for the Water Crisis in Azraq basin, Jordan
(2017-05-18)Natural groundwater replenishment in (semi-) arid areas is low and can be sometimes negligible as a result of low precipitation rates and high evapotranspiration. Therefore, groundwater resources in these areas can be ... -
Characterization of groundwater flow and vulnerability assessment of karstic aquifers - Development of a travel time based approach and application to the Tanour and Rasoun spring catchment (Ajloun, NW-Jordan)
(2016-08-24)Understanding the karst aquifer response to precipitation and contaminants transport, especially in arid to semi-arid areas, is a very important issue and a challenge due to the unique and heterogeneous characteristics of ... -
Decision Support for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) Project Planning to Mitigate Water Scarcity based on Non-conventional Water Resources
(2011-09-16)The efficient integration into the water resources system and the implementation of Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) facilities requires careful planning if the overall water resources ... -
Development and application of a modelling approach for distributed karst aquifer characterization and groundwater residence time derivation
(2016-01-19)Spring protection in karst aquifers is particularly challenging since their high complexity thwarts their characterization by traditional field investigated methods. Especially the properties of the highly conductive conduit ... -
Development and evaluation of a reactive hybrid transport model (RUMT3D)
(2004-07-06)Areas that have undergone mining usually have numerous environmental problems such as groundwater contamination, which is often acidic and rich in dissolved metals and possibly radionuclides. ... -
Flow and transport in saturated and unsaturated fractured porous media: Development of particle-based modeling approaches
(2014-10-13)The main objective of this thesis is the development of particle-based flow and transport models to assist in the characterization of small-scale flow features and provide insight into the complex flow and transport dynamics ... -
Flow Dynamics and Management Options in Stressed Carbonate Aquifer System, The Western Aquifer Basin, Palestine
(2011-06-29)Sustainable management of trans-boundary groundwater aquifers is usually difficult due to the complexity of natural and man-made systems. Therefore, sustainable management of trans-boundary ... -
Heat Transport Phenomena in Shallow Geothermal Boreholes
(2014-02-26)The branch of shallow geothermics is part of renewable energies with a potential that has not been fully exploited. Although various analytical and numerical approaches to determine the processes in vertical borehole ... -
Hydrochemical and environmental isotope study of the geothermal water in Mae Chan (North) and Ranong (South) geothermal areas in Thailand
(2021-05-28)The exploration and development of geothermal resources in Thailand have been investigated for electricity generation since 1946. In total, 112 hot springs are manifested which mostly scattered at the granite body from the ... -
Hydrogeological characterisation of karst aquifers in semi-arid environments at the catchment scale – Example of the Western Lower Jordan Valley
(2014-09-26)The main objective of the study is the characterisation of karstified carbonate aquifers in the semi- arid climate zone, where groundwater resources are frequently threatened by overexploitation and pollution. Despite often ... -
Hydrological modelling in the meso scale semiarid region of Wadi Kafrein / Jordan -The use of innovative techniques under data scarcity
(2011-06-23)In order to effectively plan and manage the water resources of a country or geographical region, available water resources must be quantitatively assessed and hydrological processes must ... -
Identification and quantification of the effects of flow regime and matrix-conduit interaction in the characterization of karst aquifers
(2018-03-13)In addition to alluvial aquifers, karst aquifers are counted among the most important groundwater resources. Besides the high benefit of karstic springs, they also pose risks to the user or people living close to those ... -
Identification of indicator parameters for the quantitative assessment of vulnerability in karst aquifers
(2012-07-26)Prediction of contaminant transport in karst aquifers is therefore challenging and requires the knowledge of flow characteristics and transport processes in these systems. Based in this information, quantitative vulnerability ... -
Investigations on groundwater dewatering by using vertical circulation wells: Numerical simulation method development and field validation
(2015-03-06)Construction dewatering is a common engineering problem encountered at construction and mining sites. Successful site dewatering requires proper design and implementation of groundwater lowering techniques depending on ... -
Locating Zones and Quantify the Submarine Groundwater Discharge into the Eastern Shores of the Dead Sea-Jordan
(2006-09-18)This study aims to locate the zones of groundwater discharge into the eastern shores of the Dead Sea and to estimate its quantity. The evaluation of inflow was accomplished by different ... -
Numerical modelling of single- and multi-phase flow and transport processes in porous media for assessing hydraulic fracturing impacts on groundwater resources
(2020-05-28)The environmental footprint of hydraulic fracturing has gained substantial attention in the water – energy nexus as the technology is relatively new and its long-term impacts are not thoroughly understood. Of primary ... -
