In 2013, the Flemish Environmental Planning Bureau of the Department of Environment and the Flemish Environment Agency commissioned the creation of a new, more detailed 3D geological and a new 3D hydrogeological model. Both models had to be able to be translated into each other as much as possible. For the creation of both new models, existing data and, if available, interpretations of this data were used, including mainly drill descriptions, ...

H3O-De Kempen is a (hydro)geological 3-dimensional geometric model of the subsurface of the Kempen border region. The transboundary character of the modelling is central. The Cenozoic (Quaternary, Neogene and Paleogene) deposits in the Flemish and Dutch part of the border region of the Kempen were modelled. The differences between the existing (hydro)geological interpretations and models of the Dutch and Vl The model area of H3O-De Kempen links ...

H3O-Roerdalslenk is a (hydro)geological 3-dimensional model of the subsurface of the Roerdalslenk. The transboundary character of the modelling is central. The Cenozoic (Quaternary, Neogene and Paleogene) deposits in the Dutch province of Limburg, the south-eastern province of Noord-Brabant and the Flemish part of the Ruhr Valley Loop were modelled. The Roerdalslenk is an area in the border zone of Flanders, the Netherlands and Germany that is ...

In regional hydrogeological models groundwater–surface water interaction is generally represented with aCauchy boundary condition, in which a conductance parameter governs the exchangeflux rate. In some models,the conductance is controlled by the streambed properties, since it has generally a lower hydraulic conductivitythan the aquifer. However, depending on the specific system and the spatial discretization of the hydrogeologicalmodel, aquifer ...

Remote sensing data can be integrated with
analyses of topography, structural geology, hydrogeology
and geophysics. The integration gives premises for the
delineation of zones of potential groundwater resources in
strongly fractured and karstified deep aquifers in the
uplifted Meo Vac Highland, northern Vietnam. Remote
sensing analysis outlines geological faults with hydrogeological significance. These faults are ...

Protection against flooding by the sea, drainage of rainwater and integrated management of groundwater and surface-water resources are key issues in low-lying coastal areas. However, under exceptional circumstances, knowledge to keep coastal areas dry and habitable can be used otherwise. Inundation for military purposes is such an example. The hydrogeology of the inundation at the Yser River, Belgium, during the Great War is studied. The ...

Direct push (DP) technologies are typically used for cost-effective geotechnical characterization of unconsolidated soils and sediments. In more recent developments, DP technologies have been used for efficient hydraulic conductivity (K) characterization along vertical profiles with sampling resolutions of up to a few centimetres. Until date, however, only a limited number of studies document high-resolution in situ DP data for three-dimensional ...

A hydrogeological study was undertaken in the Zenako-Argaka catchment, near Hagere Selam in Tigray,
northern Ethiopia, during the rainy season of 2006. A geological map was produced through geophysical measurements and ?eld observations, and a fracture zone identi?ed in the north west of the catchment. A perched water table was found within the Trap Basalt series above the laterized upper Aram Aradam Sandstones. A map of this water table ...
