Nevertheless, they are rarely used for managed aquifer recharge, since turbid water leads to gradual clogging and a reduction in infiltration capacity. Established redevelopment measures require backflushing, which is commonly considered impossible for VZWs, making them “non regenerable”. In this study, the possibility of backflushing a VZW is discussed. Key to the underlying approach is isolating the lower (clogged) section of a well and saturating its surrounding with water by infiltration via the upper (unclogged) screen. Subsequently, underpressure sucks water from the surrounding soil into the isolated section. The approach was tested with and without a gravel pack, on laboratory scale, showing a successful reversal of flow direction in both cases. The degree of redevelopment was quantified by measuring the drainage time of the well, which increased from initially 45 s without gravel pack and 40 s with gravel pack to 9,500 and 11,000 s, respectively, after clogging. After backflushing, the well with gravel pack showed a median drainage time of 95 s, which remained stable over ten cycles of clogging and backflushing. In contrast, drainage time of the well without gravel pack increased continuously to >170 s, even after vibrator application. In conclusion, it can be stated that the backflush of a VZW with the presented approach is possible and has an effect on the well’s infiltration capacity, though it seems more effective for wells with gravel pack.","PeriodicalId":13013,"journal":{"name":"Hydrogeology Journal","volume":"IA-23 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135113030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The earliest studies investigated groundwater as a resource for drinking water. The first systematic, national study was in 1868 and was motivated by the cholera epidemics at that time. At the beginning of the twentieth century, research for drinking water production was institutionalised at national level. Since the 1960s, the range of organisations involved in hydrogeochemical research has broadened. Societal motives are also identified: shallow, biogenic methane as fossil fuel (already researched since the 1890s); groundwater contamination; freshening/salinisation of aquifers; ecohydrology and nature conservation; aquifer thermal energy storage; national and regional groundwater monitoring for policy evaluation; impact of climate change and weather variability; and occurrence of brackish groundwater and brines in the deeper subsurface. The last-mentioned has been driven by a series of motives ranging from water supply for recreational spas and mineral water production to subsurface disposal of radioactive waste. There have been two major scientific drivers: the introduction of techniques for using isotopes as tracers, and geochemical computer modelling. Another recent development has been the increasing capabilities in analytical chemistry in relation to the contamination of groundwater with emerging pollutants. Many of the motives for research emerged in the 1980s. Overall, the societal and associated technical motives turn out to be more important than the scientific motives for hydrogeochemical research on groundwater in the Netherlands. Once a research motive has emerged, it commonly tends to remain.","PeriodicalId":13013,"journal":{"name":"Hydrogeology Journal","volume":"36 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135113103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods are first described by providing the key elements of their use and interpretation in the scientific literature. Then, an application to the Fontaine de Nîmes karst system (southern France) is used to highlight the complementarity of the methods proposed by XLKarst to describe the hydrodynamic behavior of a karst system based on daily data of rainfall and discharge over 22 years.","PeriodicalId":13013,"journal":{"name":"Hydrogeology Journal","volume":"97 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores whether the conceptual model of water mixing at depth can be extrapolated over a hydrosystem extended across several tens of kilometers and including multiple aquifer layers. The processes are investigated using a combination of isotope tracers and piezometric monitoring over 10 years. The goal of this approach is to better understand how water transfer occurs throughout a complex and poorly documented hydrosystem of the Mahafaly Plateau in southwestern Madagascar. The results show a clear smoothing of isotopic variability with depth, associated with a smoothing of the recharge peaks. Isotopic values are strongly variable in the near surface (from -6.8 to -2.5‰ 18 O) and stabilize at a critical depth (near 20 m) at around -4.7‰ 18 O. These results indicate high vertical flows through the aquifer system, where there is neither obvious dominant recharge via preferential pathways nor lateral mixing. Such a strong smoothing effect on groundwater isotopic variability with depth has been rarely observed so clearly over a large spatial scale. These results provide information on a remote groundwater flow system at a scale pertinent to groundwater resource assessment. The results also indicate that the Neogene aquifers of the Mahafaly Plateau are poorly connected with other water resources (rivers, old sedimentary formations) except for the percolation of water towards the deep Eocene karst. This means that groundwater resources in the Ankazomanga Basin are limited and that it is essential to understand and quantify recharge for sustainable groundwater management.","PeriodicalId":13013,"journal":{"name":"Hydrogeology Journal","volume":"37 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135113199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This water resource is hosted in a deep, multilayered aquifer system. The main purpose of this study was to characterize the recharge processes of the deep aquifer through hydrochemical and isotopic assessments, as well as the water quality in the recharge and drainage areas. For this purpose, 128 physical–chemical analyses (major ions) and 50 isotopic analyses (δ 18 O and δ 2 H) were carried out on samples collected in shallow and deep aquifer complexes in two sampling campaigns in 2021. From the results, a hydrogeological conceptual model of recharge processes was developed. The chemical data confirm the presence of bicarbonate–calcium facies in most samples of the shallow and deep aquifer complexes. Clear hydrochemical differences were observed among the investigated sectors. The recharge areas were identified as (1) far zones, namely the shallow aquifer complex of the Cuneo Plain, and (2) the shallow and deep aquifer complexes with groundwater mixing in the riverside sector of Po Plain in the Turin area. The mixing of waters from the Cuneo Plain and Turin Plain was verified in the well field area. The isotopic values of the artesian well water also confirmed contributions from the Turin and Cuneo Alps. This study clarified the recharge processes, thereby defining potential pollutant pathways, and the results provide additional support for groundwater resource management and protection.","PeriodicalId":13013,"journal":{"name":"Hydrogeology Journal","volume":"61 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135322904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study examined the Czarny Potok spring, located in the Pieniny Mountains of southern Poland, which was the subject of a 4-year series of water temperature observations. The presented model describes the soil and water environment in the immediate vicinity of the spring, assuming that the spring water temperature is shaped by the mixing of water flowing through the shallow zone that experiences seasonal fluctuation and the deeper neutral zone. It was also assumed that the conductive heat flow in the tested medium is conditioned by seasonal heating and cooling of the land surface. The thermal diffusivity of the bedrock was calculated on the basis of the phase shift and the attenuation of thermal amplitude at different depths, based on long-term monitoring of soil temperature. The heat conduction and water mixing models enabled calculation of the water temperature at the outflow. The obtained results are close to the empirical spring water temperatures. The estimated mean error was 0.075 °C and the mean absolute error was 0.188 °C. The results of the calculations suggest that the tested spring is recharged primarily by water flowing through the seasonal fluctuation zone (75%), while the remaining 25% captures a deeper circulation system associated with the neutral zone.","PeriodicalId":13013,"journal":{"name":"Hydrogeology Journal","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135731207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
