Development and Application of a Methodology for the Identification of Potential Groundwater Recharge Zones Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Groundwater plays a vital role in human consumption and irrigation in many parts of Bolivia; yet, the absence of policies to regulate its extraction and protect groundwater recharge areas has led to a decline in water tables and threatened food security. Some municipal initiatives have been implemented to develop regulations, but the lack of reliable hydrogeological data (such as aquifer geometry, groundwater level data, location of potential ...
Determination of the natural potential groundwater recharge in the Valle Alto basin, Bolivia, through a soil water balance Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The Valle Alto basin in Bolivia is of national importance as an agricultural area and its water resources are essential for the subsistence of the local population and vital for the economic development of the country. Guaranteeing groundwater availability in this basin is crucial, considering that aquifers are the main source of water for irrigation and human consumption. In order to manage these resources sustainably, it is necessary to ...

Exploring river-aquifer interactions and hydrological system response using baseflow separation, impulse response modeling, and time series analysis in three temperate lowland catchments Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Lowland rivers and shallow aquifers are closely coupled, and their interactions are crucial for maintaining healthy stream ecological functions. To explore river-aquifer interactions and the lowland hydrological system in three Belgian catchments, we apply a combined approach of baseflow separation, impulse response modeling, and time series analysis over a 30-year study period at the catchment scale. Baseflow from hydrograph separation shows ...
Soil radioactivity-depth profiles from regularized inversion of borehole gamma spectrometry data Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
An in situ borehole gamma logging method using a LaBr3 gamma detector has been developed to characterize a137Cs contaminated site. The activity-depth distribution of 137Cs was derived by inversion of the in situ measurement data using two different least squares methods, (i) Least squares optimization (LSO) and (ii) Tikhonov regularization. The regularization parameter (λ) of the Tikhonov regularization method was estimated using three ...
