  2. Mahdi S. Hantush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdi_S._Hantush

    DR. Mahdi S. Hantush (1921–1984) was a prominent Iraqi-born American hydrologist known for his analytical work on leaky aquifers and well hydraulics. He was the founder of the New Mexico Tech Hydrology Program. His granddaughter is Yasmin Younis, the 2018 Student Commencement Speaker at Boston University’s 185th Commencement, which went ...

  3. Specific storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_storage

    The specific storage is the amount of water that a portion of an aquifer releases from storage, per unit mass or volume of the aquifer, per unit change in hydraulic head, while remaining fully saturated. Mass specific storage is the mass of water that an aquifer releases from storage, per mass of aquifer, per unit decline in hydraulic head:

  4. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    Aquifer testing is a common tool that hydrogeologists use to characterize a system of aquifers, aquitards and flow system boundaries. A slug test is a variation on the typical aquifer test where an instantaneous change (increase or decrease) is made, and the effects are observed in the same well.

  5. Environmental impact of fracking in the United States

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_f...

    Environmental impact of fracking in the United States has been an issue of public concern, and includes the contamination of ground and surface water, methane emissions, [1] air pollution, migration of gases and fracking chemicals and radionuclides to the surface, the potential mishandling of solid waste, drill cuttings, increased seismicity and associated effects on human and ecosystem health.

  6. Aquifer storage and recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_storage_and_recovery

    Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is the direct injection of surface water supplies such as potable water, reclaimed water (i.e. rainwater), or river water into an aquifer for later recovery and use. The injection and extraction is often done by means of a well.

  7. Aquifer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer

    An aquifer in the same geologic unit may be confined in one area and unconfined in another. Unconfined aquifers are sometimes also called water table or phreatic aquifers, because their upper boundary is the water table or phreatic surface (see Biscayne Aquifer). Typically (but not always) the shallowest aquifer at a given location is ...

  8. Well test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_test

    In hydrology, a well test is conducted to evaluate the amount of water that can be pumped from a particular water well.More specifically, a well test will allow prediction of the maximum rate at which water can be pumped from a well, and the distance that the water level in the well will fall for a given pumping rate and duration of pumping.

  9. Leaky Acres Recharge Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_Acres_Recharge_Facility

    The Leaky Acres Recharge Facility is a groundwater recharge facility located in Fresno, California. The facility began as a joint research project by the City of Fresno water division and the US Department of Agriculture. It first began percolating water in 1971 and was subsequently expanded and duplicated in other areas of the city.
