Information on the spatiotemporal variability of soil properties and states within the agricultural landscape is vital to identify management zones supporting precision agriculture (PA). Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic induction (E...
The efficient management of slurry, which is a by-product rich in nutrients derived from feces, urine, cleaning water, and animal waste that stands out for its high concentration of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, is of vital i...
Crystalline basement aquifers are important drinking water sources in Nigeria and several sub-Saharan African countries. However, an understanding of their local flow and transport processes and pathways is missing due to limited research. The implic...
The application of hydrogeophysical techniques to delineating aquifers was conducted in De Aar, the eastern part of the Karoo region, Northern Cape, South Africa. Previously, recharge estimations in this region assumed a uniform aquifer type, overloo...
Water is a natural resource; its availability depends on climatic and geological conditions, and it is invariably controlled by human activities. Agbado-Ijaye lies within a coastal area, where local communities have been facing incessant water shorta...
Termite nests have long been suggested to be good indicators of groundwater but only a few studies are available to demonstrate the relationship between the two. This study therefore aims at investigating the most favourable spots for locating ground...
The analysis of stable isotopes assisted in identifying that groundwater in the Punata alluvial fan is mainly recharged by heavy flash floods, and the recharge from rainfall is of less importance. In addition, the hydrochemical analysis identified th...
The integrated use of remote sensing imagery and hydro-geophysical field surveys is a well-established approach to map the hydrogeological framework, and thus explore and evaluate the groundwater potentiality of desert lands, where groundwater is con...
In recent years, geophysical techniques have been increasingly used to monitor flow and transport processes in the Earth critical zone (ECZ). Among these, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a powerful tool used to predict hydrological paramet...
Soil moisture measurement is essential to validate hydrological models and satellite data. In this work we provide an overview of different local and plot scale soil moisture measurement techniques applied in three different conditions in terms of al...
Groundwater is extremely important in a water-scarce country such as Saudi Arabia, where permanent surface water resources are absent. Sustainable and future developments plans are essentially relying on the clear understanding of water resources. To...
Groundwater management presents a challenge for open-cast phosphate mining within the Beni Amir deposit, Oulad Abdoun Basin, Morocco, where future mining operations are progressively reaching deeper saturated phosphate layers. This study integrates s...
A conceptual hydrologic partitioning model suitable for the East Asia monsoon climate region is constructed parsimoniously, and the variability of Horton index, which is the ratio of water vaporization and wetting in the watershed, is investigated. N...
The electrokinetics methods have great potential to characterize hydrogeological processes in porous media, especially in complex partially saturated hydrosystems (e.g., the vadose zone). The dependence of the streaming coupling coefficient on water...
For water dynamics investigation in unsaturated (vadose) zones, ground penetrating radar is a popular hydro-geophysical method because it is non-invasive for soil, has high resolution and the results have a direct link with water content. Soil water...
In this study, we develop a methodology to quantitatively integrate well resistivity logs and audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) sounding in the context of groundwater investigations. The experiments were conducted in a complex Quaternary depositional envir...
Low-lying coastal plains are increasingly threatened by saltwater intrusion, yet the extent of the phenomenon and the role of coastal dune systems remain unevenly assessed. In the northern Adriatic Sea (NE Italy), salinisation has been documented, bu...
Groundwater is the most unexplored element of the hydrologic cycle on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) due to harsh climate conditions. This study aims at delineating and characterizing the unexplored Zhanongtang–Ganmanong aquifer, situated in the Zhagu subc...
Streaming potential is a promising method for a variety of hydrogeophysical applications, including the characterisation of the critical zone, contaminant transport or saline intrusion. A simple bundle of capillary tubes model that accounts for reali...
The optimization of groundwater conditioning factors (GCFs), the evaluation of groundwater potential (GWpot), the hydrogeological characterization of aquifer geoelectrical properties and borehole lithological information are of great significance in...
Spectral induced polarization (SIP) is a non-intrusive geophysical method that collects chargeability information (the ability of a material to retain charge) in the time domain or its phase shift in the frequency domain. Although SIP is a temporal m...
Data assimilation for unconfined seepage analysis has faced significant challenges due to hybrid causes, such as sparse measurements, heterogeneity of porous media, and computationally expensive forward models. To address these bottlenecks, this pape...
Identification of contamination sources and delineation of plumes in the geological environment stand as pivotal elements in reconstructing the conceptual site model (CSM) and devising remediation strategies tailored to specific physicochemical trait...
Electric resistivity sounding and tomography, as well as electromagnetic sounding, are the classical methods frequently used for hydrogeological studies. In this work, we propose the development and implementation of an original integrated approach u...
Saline water intrusion poses a major threat to groundwater security in arid and semi-arid regions, reducing freshwater availability and challenging sustainable water resource management. Accurate delineation of the fresh-saline water interface is the...
