Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability and Pollution Risks in the Alluvial Aquifer of Tebessa-MorsottS. Kachi, N. Kherici, N. KachiWe studied the vulnerability and risks of pollution of the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott that ranks amongst the major groundwater reservoirs of the region. The method used to asses groundwater vulnerability was the DRASTIC method, based on seven parameters that affect and control the groundwater flow: Depth to groundwater, Impact of the unsaturated zone, net recharge, aquifer media, hydraulic conductivity, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGroundwater Nitrate Contamination Risk Assessment: A Comparison of Parametric Systems and Simulation ModellingDario Sacco, Marco Offi, Marina De Maio, Carlo GrignaniGroundwater nitrate contamination is a source of rising concern that has been faced through the introduction of several regulations in different countries. However the methodologies used in the definition of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones are not included in the regulations. The aim of this work was to compare different methodologies, used to asses groundwater nitrate contamination risks, based on parametric systems … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrogeological Prognosis with Regard to Realisation of the New Colle Di Tenda Road TunnelCinzia Banzato, Massimo Vincenzo Civita, Adriano Fiorucci et al.Problem statement: The doubling of Tenda pass road tunnel jointing SW France to Piedmont (Italy) was planned to penetrate a complicate rock structure in which several complex play an hydrogeologic role including carbonate-Karst aquifer between flysch impervious complexes. The main problem of the project is the presence of an hydraulic circulation feeding a spring of social and economic great importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Groundwater Resources of the Morainic Amphitheatre: A Case Study in PiedmontMassimo Vincenzo Civita, Marina De Maio, Adriano FiorucciProblem statement: The risk of groundwater pollution and preservation of groundwater quality of these resources are extremely important topics, particularly at the present time in which water is becoming a limitative factor for land development. In this context the main objective of this study was the evaluation of the pollution vulnerability of groundwater in the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre (IMA), situated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite

With the aim of depicting the base conditions for the environment, which will then be used to develop decommissioning … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlteration of the Aquifer Water in Hyperarid Climate, by Wastewater: Cases of Groundwater from Ouargla (Northern Sahara, Algeria)Djidel Mohamed, Bousnoubra-Kherici Houria, Kherici Nacer, Nezli Imed-EddineThe present study is registered, on the area of Ouargla (the Sahara septentrional, Algeria) reports of the aquifer contamination by the anarchistic urban rejections. By its geomorphology (basin), its hyperarid climate and the presence of chotts, the area is subjected to an important degree of vulnerability, encouraged by the discharges of wastewater (domestic and irrigation). These factors expose aquifer's water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,111 accessesView PDFCite
