Groundwater permeability testing is a fundamental component of hydrogeological studies, enabling researchers and practitioners to evaluate the ease with which water moves through subsurface media.

Hydraulic conductivity quantifies how easily water moves through aquifers, a factor important for management of water resources, the design of wells, and remediation of contaminated sites. It ...

Researchers have produced the first map of the world outlining the ease of fluid flow through the planet's porous surface rocks and sediments. University of British Columbia researchers have produced ...

The most obvious manifestation of an earthquake is the shaking from seismic waves that knocks down buildings and rattles people. Now researchers have established a more subtle effect of this ...

Permeability heterogeneity introduced by faults can substantially impact groundwater flow. However, because faults are often poorly exposed at the surface, the architecture of the fault is frequently ...

Scientists believe the groundwater below the seafloor off the Maltese islands could provide potable water for 75 years. However, most of this offshore groundwater appears to be hosted in low ...

Coastal deltas house more than 335 million people worldwide in some of the largest population centers in the world, including growing megacities such as Shanghai, Dhaka, and Bangkok. These populations ...

In the past two years, Uganda has witnessed an influx of nearly one million refugees who have settled in the sparsely populated northwestern region of the country. This rapid population growth has ...

The Water Resources Department (WRD) plans to begin groundwater aquifer mapping in three districts in north Tamil Nadu that fall under critical and over-exploited groundwater extraction categories.
