Groundwater potential assessment and recharge-discharge systems of groundwater in Western Oromiya, Ethiopia Ghent University
Groundwater is an important source of water supply in development. However, the quantity and quality of groundwater is largely affected in Ethiopia. The study objective will be to assess the groundwater potential in Jimma and Buno Bedele administrative zones. Primary and secondary data will be collected. Desk study, fieldwork, laboratory work will be applied. A groundwater flow model with MODFLOW will be developed. The integration of these ...
Hydrogeological, Hydrogeophysical and Hydrochemical Characterization of the Dupi Tila Sandstone Aquifer System in Dhaka City and Adjacent Areas for Sustainable Groundwater Management. Ghent University
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has been suffering a very sharp groundwater level (GWL) decline for the last three decades. Unplanned and rapid urbanization coupled with exponential population growth significantly altered the groundwater dynamics in this city. About 12 million people live in Dhaka and are exclusively depending on groundwater from the fluvio-deltaic sands of Dupi Tila Formation. The understanding of hydrodynamics, as well as ...
RECHARGE: Green bioremediation to abate micropollutants. Safeguarding the drinking water cycle for future generations KU Leuven
Freshwater resources such as groundwater for drinking water production are scarce due to various reasons of which one is the presence of a multitude of recalcitrant micropollutants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals …). This problem is relevant for both Europe and China. In this call, which enables the collaboration between China (NSFC) and EU (Horizon2020), both Chinese and European research groups will aim at improving and optimizing ...
Water balance of the Lake Tana basin, North-West Ethiopia Ghent University
The surface water balance of Lake Tana basin has been investigated to a certain extent. However, the basin groundwater water balance is hardly studied. Understanding the groundwater system, its interaction with the surface water bodies and quantifying the different water balance components, on which more than 3 million of the population depends, is crucial for the better management of the water resources. The study is part of the ongoing ...
