Spatially distributed recharge and groundwater – surface water interactions in groundwater models: from the field to the catchment scale KU Leuven
Flow and transport in lowland area aquifers are strongly influenced by recharge processes and interactions with the surface water network. In lowlands, the groundwater table is close to the topographic surface. Therefore, the interactions between groundwater, atmosphere, soil, vegetation and surface water take place over short distances, within the so-called critical zone. Because of these short distances and the non-linearity of flow processes ...
Groundwater inflow in rivers as a controlling factor to surface water nitrate concentrations and impact of groundwater age distribution on response times for remediation strategies Universiteit Gent
Diffuse groundwater contamination by intense fertilizer use is a widespread problem in most of the agricultural regions in West-Europe and in many other countries worldwide. As a result elevated nitrate concentrations in groundwater are found, and as groundwater is the source of baseflow into rivers and streams, also surface waters show increased nitrate levels. Flanders in the north of Belgium is no exception and despite restrictions on the ...

Bioremediatie van grondwater verontreinigd met trichlooretheen: Onderzoek naar de biologische en chemische factoren die het biologisch versneld oplossen van een vrije fase bepalen KU Leuven
Trichloroethene (TCE) has extensively been used as a solvent in metal processing and dry cleaning industries. Improper storage, however, has resulted in widespread groundwater contaminations. In the subsoil, its low solubility (8.4 mM) and high density cause the formation of dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL). Such a DNAPL only dissolves slowly and, therefore, forms a source of long-term groundwater contamination. Remediation of TCE ...
A Spatiotemporal Analysis of Groundwater Level Changes in Relation to Urban Growth and Groundwater Recharge Potential for Waukesha County, Wisconsin Universiteit Hasselt
The main objective of this study was to analyze spatially and temporally groundwater level changes using geographic information systems and spatial analysis with respect to urban development, groundwater withdrawal, and groundwater recharge potential. The study focused on Waukesha County in southeastern Wisconsin, where urban development has been accelerating while groundwater has been declining over the last several decades. We analyzed data ...
Hydrochemical Characterisation of High-Fluoride Groundwater and Development of a Conceptual Groundwater Flow Model Using a Combined Hydrogeological and Hydrochemical Approach on an Active Volcano: Mount Meru, Northern Tanzania KU Leuven Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Assessment of seasonal aquifer thermal energy storage as a groundwater ecosystem service for the Brussels-Capital Region: combining groundwater flow, and heat and reactive transport modeling KU Leuven
© 2016 The Authors. Seasonal aquifer thermal energy storage and recovery (ATES) help urbanized areas to contribute to their energy demands. We assess the potential of ATES in the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium with groundwater flow, heat and reactive transport models. Situated in the phreatic Brussels Sand aquifer, they indicate that ATES systems are unfeasible for hydraulic conductivities of 4.2e-6 ms-1. At low groundwater flow velocities ...
