The Fort Collins Loveland Water District is investing in an aquifer near the Wyoming and Colorado border in an effort to ...

A geological formation that may contain groundwater but is not capable of transmitting significant quantities of it under normal hydraulic gradients. May function as a confining bed.

Bernadette Wright, fellow remedial project manager at Wyckoff, explained that there are several distinct sediment layers in the work area: the vadose zone, the aquitard and the aquifer. Creosote can’t ...

Earlier this year, a study using satellite data found that New York City is sinking at the relatively fast rate of 1-2 millimeters per year across the city, with some urban areas sinking much ...

However, the aquifer also exhibits a phenomenon called back diffusion. This means that the aquitard, the more dense material that encases the aquifer, is itself contaminated with NDMA due to the ...

This study numerically investigates sustainable heat extraction based on various reinjection–production strategies which were conducted in a single-phase aquitard–aquifer geothermal system in Huailai ...

Finally, we collected the stratigraphic data from 50 drilling wells to validate our model results by simulating the cumulative silt and clay layers (aquitard) thickness utilizing the Ordinary Kriging ...

“In contrast, a strong positive linear relationship is isolated between subsidence rates and the thickness of the upper aquitard.” The researchers predict that “it will take ∼150 years to reach total ...

"Even if water levels were to be raised, there is no hope for recovering the great majority of the lost elevation and the lost storage capacity of the aquitard," the authors write. An aquitard is a ...
