Microbial activity and biomass are important factors that determine nutrient and carbon fluxes in freshwater ecosystems and, therefore are also related to both water quality and climate change induced stressors. This study ...

Basic univariate statistics and key geostatistical parameters of estimates of hydraulic conductivity obtained at the decimeter scale by two different methods are presented and compared. The two estimates are based on (1) ...

Vivimos completamente rodeados por una miríada de dispositivos electrónicos interconectados, que a su vez originan nuevos servicios y nuevas formas de entender y establecer las relaciones sociales. Nuevas palabras y conceptos ...

Contamination of groundwater with pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) increased over the last decades. Potential pathways of PhACs to groundwater include techniques such as irrigation, managed aquifer recharge, or bank ...

Biologically mediated degradation of organic compounds in porous media is a complex mathematical problem, described by a non-linear differential equation. The organic compound gets in contact with the biomass, and an ...

Most methods for hydraulic test interpretation rely on a number of simplified assumptions regarding the homogeneity and isotropy of the underlying porous media. This way, the actual heterogeneity of any natural parameter, ...

Water flowing through hyporheic river sediments or artificial recharge facilities promotes the development of microbial communities with sediment depth. We performed an 83-day mesocosm infiltration experment, to study ...

We investigate the effective transport of a sorptive solute through a chemically heterogeneous medium subject to temporal fluctuations of the flow conditions. We focus on linear instantaneous sorption, with a spatially ...

Groundwater is the major source of drinking water in most rural areas in developing countries. This resource is threatened by the potential presence of faecal bacteria coming from a variety of sources and pollution paths, ...
