Exact Solution for Non-Self-Similar Wave-Interaction Problem during Two-Phase Four-Component Flow in Porous Media by S. Borazjani, P. Bedrikovetsky, R. Farajzadeh

“…Analytical solutions for one-dimensional two-phase multicomponent flows in porous media describe processes of enhanced oil recovery, environmental flows of waste disposal, and contaminant propagation in subterranean reservoirs and water management in aquifers. We derive the exact solution for 3×3 hyperbolic system of conservation laws that corresponds to two-phase four-component flow in porous media where sorption of the third component depends on its own concentration in water and also on the fourth component concentration. …”

Water Withdrawals and Their Use in Florida in 2010 by Tatiana Borisova, Jenna Rogers

“…In addition, in EDIS document FE757 (Florida’s Water Resources), the authors describe Florida’s abundant water resources—the state receives about 54 inches of rainfall per annum, compared to 30 inches nationwide, and it overlies prolific aquifers. Whether water is scarce or abundant, however, depends not only upon available supplies, but also upon patterns of water use. …”

Multicompartment Ecosystem Mass Balances as a Tool for Understanding and Managing the Biogeochemical Cycles of Human Ecosystems by Lawrence A. Baker, Diane Hope, Ying Xu, Jennifer Edmonds

“…The N balance is used to demonstrate how nitrate in pumped groundwater used for crop irrigation could be used to reduce inputs of commercial fertilizer and decrease N leaching to aquifers. Effectively managing N pollution also will require an understanding of the complex factors that control the N balance, including targeted regulations, individual human behavior, land-use conversion, and other ecosystem management practices that affect the N balance. …”

Methodology to compute the speed of pumps that fit the hydrodynamic levels in a well field by Georgescu Sanda-Carmen, Găitănaru Ștefan-Dragoș, Iancu Iulian, Miron Călin Ioan, Georgescu Andrei-Mugur

“…Pumping water from well fields is challenging for any water company, due to the restrictions attached to the aquifers’ hydrogeological characterisation. The difficulty is to set the speed of each pump allowing ensuring a quasi-uniform pumping from all wells in a field, at the highest flow rate that can be extracted from each well, paying attention to avoid clogging. …”
