<p>Groundwater resources in Mediterranean coastal aquifers are under threat due to overexploitation and climate change impacts, resulting in saltwater intrusion. This situation is deteriorated by the absence of sustainable groundwater resources management plans. Efficient management and monitoring of groundwater systems requires interpreting all sources of available data. This work aims at the development of a set of plausible 3D geological models combining 2D geophysical profiles, spatial data analytics and geostatistical simulation techniques. The resulting set of models represents possible scenarios of the structure of the coastal aquifer system under investigation. Inverted resistivity profiles, along with borehole data, are explored using spatial data science techniques to identify regions associated with higher uncertainty. Relevant parts of the profiles will be used to generate 3D models after detailed Anisotropy and variogram analysis. Multidimensional statistical techniques are then used to select representative models of the true subsurface while exploring the uncertainty space. The resulting models will help to identify primary gaps in existing knowledge about the groundwater system and to optimize the groundwater monitoring network. A comparison with a numerical groundwater flow model will identify similarities and differences and it will be used to develop a typical hydrogeological model, which will aid the management and monitoring of the area's groundwater resources. This work will help the development of a reliable groundwater flow model to investigate future groundwater level fluctuations at the study area under climate change scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>This work was developed under the scope of the InTheMED project.

Geographic information is created by manipulating geographic (or spatial) data (generally known by the abbreviation geodata) in a computerized system. Geo-spatial information and geomatics are issues of modern business and research. It is essential to provide their different definitions and roles in order to get an overall picture of the issue. This article discusses about the problematic of definitions, but also the technologies and challenges within spatial data fusion.

This paper mainly analyzed the principle of multi-source spatial data fusion, and expounded the multi-source spatial data fusion of the distributed model structure. The paper considers a distributed multi-sensor information fusion system factors, A performance evaluation model was established which was suitable for distributed multi-sensor information fusion system, It can estimate the system's precision, track quality, filtering quality, and the relevant between Navigation Paths and so on. Meanwhile, we had a lot of experiments by the datum which generated by the simulation test environment, experiments show that this evaluation model is valid.

Groundwater resources are increasingly used around the world for geothermal exploitation systems. To monitor such systems and to estimate their governing parameters, we rely mainly on borehole observations of the temperature field at a few locations. Bulk electric resistivity variations can bring important information on temperature changes in aquifers. We have used surface electric resistivity tomography to monitor spatially temperature variations in a sandy aquifer during a thermal injection test. Heated water (48°C) was injected for 70 hours at the rate of [Formula: see text] in a 10.5°C aquifer. Temperature changes derived from time-lapse electric images were in agreement with laboratory water electric conductivity-temperature measurements. In parallel, a coupled hydrogeologic saturated flow and heat transport model was calibrated on geophysical data for the conceptual model, and on hydrogeologic and temperature data for the parameters. The resistivity images showed an upper flow of heated water along the well above the injection screens and led to a new conceptualization of the hydrogeologic source term. The comparison between the temperature models derived from resistivity images and from the simulations was satisfactory. Quantitatively, resistivity changes allowed estimating temperature changes within the aquifer, and qualitatively, the heated plume evolution was successfully monitored. This work demonstrates the ability of electric resistivity tomography to study heat and storage experiments in shallow aquifers. These results could potentially lead to a number of practical applications, such as the monitoring or the design of shallow geothermal systems.
