Existing research primarily focuses on SLR-induced salinization of coastal aquifers. There is limited understanding of the magnitudes and rates of water table rise in response to SLR, which could lead to groundwater flooding and associated infrastructure challenges. This study used a variable-density groundwater flow model to quantify the transient movement of the water table in response to various SLR scenarios and rates, considering a range of aquifer parameters for both fixed-head and fixed-flux inland boundary conditions. The SLR scenario based on realistic and progressive SLR projections resulted in a smaller water table rise than the instantaneous or gradual SLR scenarios at 100 years, despite a final identical SLR. Rates of water table rise were always less than SLR, decreased with distance from the coastline, and were proportional to SLR. The magnitude and rate of water table rise in response to SLR were largest for fixed-flux conditions. It also took longer for the rate of water table rise to equilibrate after the commencement of SLR for fixed-flux conditions than for fixed-head conditions. As such, fixed-flux conditions represent a greater hazard for water table rise, and the maximum impact may not be experienced for decades. This delayed response poses challenges to planners and managers of coastal groundwater systems. Introducing a drain reduced water table rise more on the inland side of the drain than on the coastal side.

As these aquifers decline, streamflow is depleted, resulting in impacts to agriculture, environmental flows, and hydropower production. In 2014, the Idaho Water Resource Board initiated an aquifer recharge program, and in 2015 a historic settlement agreement (hereafter referred to as the <i>Settlement Agreement</i>) was signed by surface water users with senior water rights and groundwater pumpers with junior water rights to stop the decline of the eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) in southern Idaho (SWC-IGWA 2015). Here, we assess mitigation measures they have undertaken to reverse the downward trajectory of groundwater levels in the ESPA using drought indices correlated to the combined head change of a suite of groundwater monitoring wells. The results were then compared against the predictions of the Enhanced Snake Plain Aquifer Model (ESPAM), which is a MODFLOW-based aquifer model. The drought indices indicate that without the aquifer recharge program and reductions in groundwater pumping, the aquifer head would have been 1.1 to 1.3 m lower than observed in 2023, indicating implemented water management practices reduced the volumetric loss to the aquifer by 2500 million cubic meters (2,000,000 acre-feet).

In this study, we compare different model classes for this task: a spatially explicit 3D groundwater flow model (MODFLOW), an eigenmodel, a transfer-function model, and three machine learning models, namely, multi-layer perceptron models, long short-term memory models, and random forest models. The models differ widely in their complexity, input requirements, calibration effort, and run-times. They are tested on four groundwater level time series from the Wairau Aquifer in New Zealand to investigate the potential of the data-driven approaches to outperform the MODFLOW model in predicting individual target wells. Further, we wish to reveal whether the MODFLOW model has advantages in predicting all four wells simultaneously because it can use the available information in a physics-based, integrated manner, or whether structural limitations spoil this effect. Our results demonstrate that data-driven models with low input requirements and short run-times are competitive candidates for local groundwater level predictions even for system states that lie outside the calibration data range. There is no “single best” model that performs best in all cases, which motivates ensemble forecasting with different model classes using Bayesian model averaging. The obtained Bayesian model weights clearly favor MODFLOW when targeting all wells simultaneously, even though the competing approaches had the chance to fine-tune for each tested well individually.

The agriculture industry quickly shifted to alternatives, with organophosphates becoming the dominant replacement. By the early 1990s, neonicotinoids emerged as a new class of insecticides, praised for their lower toxicity to mammals, effectiveness at low doses, and systemic action, which allows plants to absorb them for long-term pest protection. In theory, these qualities made neonicotinoids a safer and more efficient alternative. However, nearly 40 years after their introduction, they have emerged as new contaminants in groundwater, raising concerns about their environmental and human health impacts, which remain poorly understood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rapid increase in neonicotinoid use since the early 2000s has made them the most widely used insecticides in the United States today. These chemicals are applied to major crops such as corn, soybeans, and specialty fruits, as well as in residential pest control products and flea treatments for pets. While their use extends beyond agriculture, the majority is tied to agricultural applications, where they are primarily applied as seed treatments, but also through in-furrow, soil applications, and foliar sprays. Seed treatments gained favor for their ability to provide targeted, systemic pest protection from germination and minimize pesticide drift into non-target areas. However, this widespread adoption has led to unintended consequences, particularly their persistence in soil and water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Neonicotinoids are highly mobile in water and can persist in the environment, with degradation times ranging from days to years depending on the compound and environmental conditions (Pietrzak et al. &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and clothianidin are among the most widely used neonicotinoids, and these compounds have been detected in groundwater across the US. Groundwater quality data from the EPA Water Quality Portal, collected from 1999 to 2024, reveals that at least one of these compounds was detected in wells across 30 of the 50 states (EPA Water Quality Portal &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). In Wisconsin, detections have been particularly prevalent in areas with sandy soils and shallow groundwater table, such as the Central Sands Region (Senger et al. &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Romano et al. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Recent monitoring efforts suggest that these chemicals are now present in groundwater throughout much of the state (Romano et al. &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The detection of neonicotinoids in groundwater and elsewhere in the environment has raised concerns about their ecological and human health impacts. Since the late 2000s, research has documented lethal and/or sublethal effects on a range of organisms, including bees and butterflies, as well as aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates (Schneider et al. &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;; Morrissey et al. &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Rundlöf et al. &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Eng et al. &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/","PeriodicalId":12866,"journal":{"name":"Groundwater","volume":"63 3","pages":"298-299"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwat.13481","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we employed regionalized sensitivity analysis with Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to identify the most sensitive parameters in laboratory TCW experiments, reducing the number of parameters to estimate.

Killian","doi":"10.1111/gwat.13484","DOIUrl":"10.1111/gwat.13484","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Recent modeling of groundwater at the scale of the Conterminous United States (CONUS) has often relied on relatively large square grid cells (Maxwell et al. &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Zell and Sanford &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Consequently, features such as streams can become generalized. An important issue, therefore, is the relationship between grid-cell size and representation of the stream network. This technical commentary addresses two questions related to this issue. First, what cell size is required to accurately represent all mapped streams in CONUS (McKay et al. &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;)? Second, given a 1-km cell, what order stream network can be accurately represented? This commentary focuses only on geometry and does not address other important aspects of modeling stream –aquifer interactions such as small-scale sinuosity (Cardenas &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;) or developing sound conceptual hydrogeologic models (Anderson et al. &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The overall approach for assessing accuracy to answer these questions is presented in the methods section, including how the relationship between cell size and stream order is evaluated. The approach is applied to 18 representative surface water basins distributed across CONUS (Van Metre et al. &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). The Delaware River Basin is used to illustrate the approach and for the purposes of discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A uniform-square grid that accurately represents the geometry of a stream network is one in which contributing areas can be differentiated from streams, such that most of the cells do not contain a stream. A grid where every cell contains one or more streams would not accurately represent the geometry of the network. For the purposes of discussion, the criterion for accurate representation is that streams are in no more than 20% of all cells. A different criterion could be chosen depending on the purpose of a particular study. The graphs presented in this commentary allow for a different criterion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question of developing an accurate grid also depends on stream order. Representation of the geometry of a first-order stream network (headwaters) requires a smaller cell size than the representation of higher-order stream networks (large rivers). In this paper, we evaluate stream networks ranging from first through fifth stream orders across the CONUS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The relationship between grid-cell size and stream network geometry is evaluated in 18 river basins distributed across CONUS (Figure 1; Table 1).

A simpler approach is to plot the dimensionless relative concentrations of the non-reactive and reactive solutes on the same breakthrough curves; thus, any differences between the two curves can be attributed to reactive transport.

A new measure of overall solute reactivity is also introduced that summates relative temporal moments to quantify and rank the reactivity of a suite of solutes.
