Abstract Presented in this paper is a feasibility study of groundwater for agricultural use (irrigation) in Northern Ghana. The study was conducted using Geo-electrical data, Boreholes drill logs, results of water quality, and results of the pumping test. The geo-electrical results were to unearth the lithology of the study area; it was found to be underlain with varying geology of both Precambrian and Paleozoic sedimentary formation. These formations consist of phyllite, schist, granite, meta-sediments, and meta-volcanics making up the Precambrian and sandstone, shale, siltstone, mudstones, granitiods also, of the Paleozoic sedimentary. Areas of low resistivity were targeted for drilling per the geophysical results of the profile, values between 24 and 100 ohm.m were zones of probable groundwater occurrence in the study. The groundwater storage capacity and the extractable storage capacity were estimated to be approximately 710,000 km3 and 290,000 km3. The pumping test results acquired from 81 boreholes from the study were used to analyze the sustainability and otherwise. However, groundwater depth was studied using the Static water level (SWL), areas of SWL around 22 m and 25 m are likely to have a shallow depth whereas areas of 17 m would have deeper groundwater depth.

AbstractGlobal climate change is projected to continue and result in prolonged and more intense droughts, which can increase soil water repellency (SWR). To be able to estimate the consequences of SWR on vadose zone hydrology, it is important to determine soil hydraulic properties (SHP). Sequential modeling using HYDRUS (2D/3D) was performed on an experimental field site with artificially imposed drought scenarios (moderately M and severely S stressed) and a control plot. First, inverse modeling was performed for SHP estimation based on water and ethanol infiltration experimental data, followed by model validation on one selected irrigation event. Finally, hillslope modeling was performed to assess water balance for 2014. Results suggest that prolonged dry periods can increase soil water repellency. Inverse modeling was successfully performed for infiltrating liquids, water and ethanol, withR2and model efficiency (E) values both > 0.9. SHP derived from the ethanol measurements showed large differences in van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) parameters for the M and S plots compared to water infiltration experiments. SWR resulted in large saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) decrease on the M and S scenarios. After validation of SHP on water content measurements during a selected irrigation event, one year simulations (2014) showed that water repellency increases surface runoff in non-structured soils at hillslopes.

Statistical analysis of pumping-test data from wells have been used to calculate average values of transmissivity and permeability in different Swedish rocks. The influence of the well-loss on the calculations is discussed. The highest values of transmissivity and permeability of the investigated rocks are found in the sandstones of Algonkian and Cambrian age. The Archean crystalline rocks show a wide range of results, and of the investigated rocks the gneisses seem to be more permeable than the granites. However, the degree of tectonization affects the hydraulic properties of the rocks considerably.

In the process of roadway excavation in the low permeability outburst coal seam, with drilling through strata in the bottom drainage roadway extracting coal seam gas of control area. In order to improve extraction effect, the method that deep borehole pre-cracking blasting is used to increase the permeability of coal in the drilling through strata seam segment is proposed. The calculation formula on crushing circle and crack circle radius of deep borehole pre-cracking blasting are derived, and the effective loosening radius of blasting is calculated in theory, the research achievements are applied to field test, the test results show that deep borehole pre-cracking blasting permeability improvement technology is carried out in the drilling through strata of the low permeability outburst coal seam, the permeability of coal seam is improved by 180 times, the gas extraction scalar is raised by 8-10 tomes, during the process of roadway excavation, gas concentration of the working face is 0.2%-0.3%, and tunneling footage is increased by 2 times.

This article describes the pumping test procedures and test results of the subway project 30m deep excavation dewatering in thick aquifer. A groundwater three-dimensional seepage numerical calculation model is established. We use the model to calculate and compare the calculated results and the actual results, obtain hydrogeological parameters by inversion. Further, we have a numerical simulation study on deep excavation dewatering with the hydrogeological parameters, the Simulation results and excavation pre-dewatering test results are consistent. Test results show that the model can reflect the deep excavation dewatering process with complex geological conditions.
