In-situ monitoring is an important aspect of geotechnical projects to ensure safety and
optimise design measures. However, existing conventional monitoring instruments are …

Groundwater extraction is increasing rapidly in many areas of the world, causing serious
impacts such as falling water tables, ground surface subsidence, water quality degradation …

Water resources are of enormous societal and ecological importance. In coastal areas, they
are under ever greater pressure due to population growth, more affluent lifestyles, food …

This book is an outgrowth of an investigation of the state of the art in aquifer characterization
techniques. The focus is on what is possible and practical from an applied perspective. The …

The evolution of the Patigno landslide, a deep-seated gravitational slope deformation in the
Northern Apennine range (Italy), was investigated using archival photogrammetry, and GPS …

Throughout the world there are many stressed aquifers used to support irrigated agriculture.
The Condamine River catchment (southern Queensland, Australia) is one example of a …

The hydraulic properties of geologic formations, such as specific storage and hydraulic
conductivity, are known to vary spatially due to formation heterogeneity; however, they may …

Groundwater responses to barometric pressure fluctuations are characterized using the
concept of barometric efficiency (BE). For semiconfined and confined aquifers, BE values …

Specific storage (SS) has considerable predictive importance in the modelling of
groundwater systems, yet little is known about its statistical distribution and dependency on …

Accurate determination of groundwater state of confinement and compressible storage
properties at vertical resolution over depth is notoriously difficult. We use the hydraulic head …
