Hydrogeological Setting

In this paper the hydrogeological setting of Rome is figured out. This setting has been strongly influenced by different factors as tectonic activity, volcanism and seal level variations. The conceptual model of the groundwater flow in the roman area is represented by four aquifers, three of which being overlappingones. These aquifers flow from peripheral sectors of the study area toward Tiber and Aniene Rivers and the Sea.

Bedrock Aquifer

The groundwater pollution case at Mercier is a very complex one. Groundwater flow modeling has been a valuable tool in the assessment of this large environmental problem. However, due to the complexity of the hydrogeological setting, the modeling has been performed with various simple case models in lieu of a large complex model. Here we report the results of one of these piecewise modeling tasks that proved very useful in the explanation of the strong upward gradients observed in the bedrock aquifer. These results and their interpretation prove the usefulness of the piecewise modeling strategy in this case. Key words : ground water modeling, finite elements.

Abstract Randublatung groundwater basin is one of the groundwaters basins with massive utilization of groundwater pumping. However, the knowledge of the comprehensive hydrogeological system in this groundwater basin is limited, so this research aims to determine a comprehensive hydrogeological conceptual model of the Randublatung groundwater basin. The methodology was conducted by collecting secondary and primary data of deep and shallow wells to evaluate boundaries of pattern and direction of groundwater flow and develop the aquifer system’s geometry. The result shows that the groundwater flow boundaries are Grogol River in the west, Wado River in the East, Bengawan Solo river in the South as a river boundary, and Rembang Mountains in the North as a constant head boundary. Therefore, groundwater flows from the hills area to the Bengawan Solo River and the north as the river’s flow. Based on the log bor evaluation, the aquifer system of the study area consist of an unconfined aquifer with a maximum thickness of 20 m and three layers of confined aquifers with thickness vary between 8 to 60 m. the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifers depends on the aquifer’s lithology range from sand, gravel, limestone, and sandstone. This hydrogeological conceptual model provides essential information for numerical groundwater models in the middle of the Randublatung groundwater basin.

Current Water

Hydrological modelling is representative of current, past or future hydrologic balance. It has been used widely in water-related problem such as drought, flood, water contamination and irrigation. Crops irrigation requires a lot of water to irrigate the root zone layer especially for paddy crops. With the current issues of water such as drought and pollution, an alternative source is needed to overcome the problem of water scarcity. Generally Malaysia depends on the surface water to irrigate the crops with no aided of groundwater. This study focuses on the availability of groundwater resources to irrigate the paddy crops. Hence, a conceptual model of groundwater flow was developed to shows the current situation of the groundwater flow at the study area. Several models were developed to see if groundwater can be extracted using wells and be used as an alternative source for irrigation. The study area is located at Sawah Sempadan, which is one of Malaysia’s greeneries areas under Tanjung Karang Rice Irrigation Scheme (TAKRIS). The conceptual model is built by using Visual MODFLOW 4.2. The conceptual model shows the current water balance, water table elevation and equipotential head in the study area. Simulations with pump wells have been done to shows the availability of groundwater sources for paddy irrigation. The result shows that groundwater flows from area of higher elevation towards the lower elevated area. It is also shows that groundwater extraction could not be too excessive as it may dry up the aquifer storage.

Clay Horizon

The S. Eufemia Lamezia plain, located in central Calabria, is characterized by the presence of a multi-layered aquifer. In particular, it was studied the intermediate artesian aquifer, content in the Pliocene sands and sandstones. The collection of new lithostratigraphic data, related to drilling for water supplies, allowed to draw the map of the top of intermediate artesian aquifer underlying in the study area. The top surface of sands and sandstones map, presented here, seems to confirm the structural-geological data of the surface showing, also in depth, the conditioning of tectonics on the study area and on the groundwater flow. The analysis of the selected stratigraphic data shows that the studied aquifer is constituted by Pliocene deposits of sand and sandstones, confined to the top by Pliocene clay. Therefore locally hydraulic connections with the shallow aquifer for leackage phenomena are possible. The supply of the studied aquifer happens mainly for lateral recharge because the clay horizon that borders with the top of the aquifer prevents direct transfer of rainfall recharge. However, a reduced recharge rate is due to the meteoric recharge, which is possible in limited parts of the territory to the east of the study area and over. Therefore, this study aims to implement the knowledge of the groundwater flow of S. Eufemia plain by returning the top intermediate confined aquifer map which, is little studied but strongly exploited because, respect to the shallow aquifer, is more productive and more protected by potential contamination due to the presence of the aquiclude/aquitard which isolates it by the top.
