Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFooting Under Static Loading: Land SubsidenceMochamad Arief Budihardjo, Su Yang, Amin Chegenizadeh, Hamid NikrazLand and footing subsidence caused by groundwater extraction is a source of many problems for buildings and infrastructures. This study aims at extending the knowledge of footing subsidence causing by ground water pumping by considering various well and load conditions. The approach is to use PLAXIS simulation to investigate the influence of well conditions on the subsidence of surface footing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2015 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimatic Severity Victims of Upstream Water Piracy Strongly Evidencing Inland Water-depletion Caused Global Warming vis-a-vis CoolingMiah M. Adel, Mahmood R. Hossain, Saiyeeda F. HossainSince the 80’s, the northwestern and the southwestern parts of the tropical Bangladesh located in the downstream Ganges basin have been having summer temperature above 109°F and winter temperature as low as 37°F. Every year people, particularly, the infants die from heat-and cold-related diseases and hospitals become packed-up with the victims of severe climatic condition. The objective of this research … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2014 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractROLE OF SALINITY IN PRECIPITATION AND WELL WATER DEPTH RELATIONSHIPManoj K. JhaExcessive groundwater pumping can decrease the amount of fresh water flowing towards the coastal discharge areas, allowing salt water to be drawn into the fresh water zones of coastal aquifers. This process gets complicated with the frequent change behavior of groundwater levels in observation wells. The fluctuation happens due to various reasons but can be directly correlated with the precipitation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Aquifer Characteristics in Echi, Delta State, Nigeria Using Well Logging and Pumping Test MethodOchuko AnomohanranThis study was carried out to evaluate the aquifer characteristics of groundwater at Echi, Delta State, Nigeria. This was carried out by conducting electrical resistivity and spontaneous potential loggings in a drilled well at the study location. Pumping test using a one kilowatt pumping machine was carried out in the well. The logs were interpreted while the record of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDownstream Ecocide from Upstream Water PiracyMiah Muhammad AdelUpstream India and downstream Bangladesh share more than 50 international rivers. India has set up water diversion constructions in more than 50% of these rivers, the largest one being on the Bangladesh’s northwest upon the Ganges River, puts Bangladesh’s Gangetic ecosystem at stake. In some border rivers, India has set up groins on her side of river banks. Also, Indian … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 4 Sep 2012 · 9,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality of Potable Water in KuwaitFawzia M. Al-Ruwaih, Jasem M. Alhumoud, Sara M. Al-MutairiProblem statement: Kuwait is an arid country with limited natural water resources. As such, Kuwait produces its drinking water using the Multi-Stage-Flash method (MSF) in distillation plants to produce distilled water from sea water. The distilled water is blended with the brackish groundwater in different blending ratios, to produce drinking water, as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). Approach: The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresence of Arsenic in Commercial BeveragesJason Roberge, Andrew T. Abalos, Julia M. Skinner et al.Problem statement: This study’s goal was to assess the arsenic concentration of various beverages and broths purchased from a local chain supermarket. A source of chronic arsenic exposure occurs via food and beverage consumption. Groundwater levels of total arsenic are regulated (<10 μg L-1) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but few studies have examined arsenic concentrations in common beverages. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Three Nitrate Fertilizers on Nitrate Leaching under the Root Zone in Clay Loam SoilThamer Ahmed Mohammed, M. Nooshin, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. Noor, A. LiaghatProblem statements: Nitrogen fertilizer is recognized as an important factor in crop’s yield level, however more application of N fertilizers in the soil have some adverse effects on environment and especially on groundwater contamination. Perception and recognition the factors influencing nitrate transport through soil profile is helpful for fertilizer management to minimize adverse impacts on environment and nitrate leaching below … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Entry Values on Hysteresis of Water Retention Curve in Saline SoilS. Konyai, V. Sriboonlue, V. Trelo-GesProblem statement: The saline soil in Northeast Thailand is caused by saline groundwater rise in unsaturated zone to accumulate as salt at soil surface. Approach: This problem had been exacerbated in the last few decades by human activities e.g., deforestation and salt mining. This salinity problem can be solved by capillary rise control of saline groundwater flow. Results: The soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
