Kumar -

Sounds very interesting!

I have used SEEP/CTRAN to simulate sea water intrusion at some locations along
the eastern coast of Australia.
So it would be interesting to see your paper.
Could you send me a pdf?

Hi all,

I just need your bit of assistance. I am presently
working in US for over 4 years. I have M.S in Civil
Engineering with Water resources as specialization. I
am planning to move back to India for personal
reasons. My question can you guys give me a list of
companies in India who does water resources related
work. I have experience in water resources management,
design, modelling, land development, site planning. I
will really appreciate if somebody can help in this,
it will be a good start for my career search in India.

thanks,
Hrushikesh.

Dear Member,

I am pleased to inform that I have recently completed
the study "Modelling of a Coastal Aquifer using
FEFLOW". A brief introduction of the study is given
below.

Coastal tracts of Goa (India) are rapidly being
transformed into settlement areas. The poor water
supply facilities have encouraged people to have their
own source of water by digging or boring a well.
During the last decade, there have been large-scale
withdrawals of groundwater by builders, hotels and
other tourist establishments. Though the seawater
intrusion has not yet assumed serious magnitude, but
in the coming years it may turn to be a major problem
if corrective measures are not initiated at this
stage. It is necessary to understand how fresh and
salt water move under various realistic pumping and
recharge scenarios. Objectives of the study include
simulation of seawater intrusion in a part of the
coastal area in Bardez taluk of North Goa, evaluation
of the impact on seawater intrusion due to various
groundwater pumping scenarios and sensitivity analysis
to find the most sensitive parameters affecting the
simulation.

For the study, a finite-element model (FEFLOW) was
used for model simulations. The FEFLOW is an
interactive finite element simulation system (Version
5.1) for three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional
(2D), i.e. horizontal (aquifer-averaged), vertical or
axi-symmetric, transient or steady-state, fluid
density- coupled or linear, flow and mass, flow and
heat or completely coupled thermohaline transport
processes in subsurface water resources (groundwater
systems).

Salient conclusions of the study are given below.

(1) Presently, seawater intrusion in Bardez taluk of
North Goa is confined only upto 290 m from the coast
under normal rainfall conditions and present draft
pattern. It may slightly extend farther for low
rainfall years.

(2) Seawater intrusion may further advance inland if
withdrawals of groundwater by builders, hotels and
other tourist establishments continue to increase in
the coming years.

(3) Groundwater salinity needs to be continuously
monitored near the coastal area, especially within 2
km from the coast.

(4) Corrective measures with proper planning and
management of groundwater resources in the area need
to be initiated so that it may not turn to be a major
water quality problem in the coming times.

(5) The model is very sensitive to hydraulic
conductivity and dispersivity values. Field and
laboratory investigations need to be undertaken for
measurement of these parameters for use in further
modelling studies.

(6) The study will guide in making management
decisions to monitor and control seawater intrusion
and planning of groundwater development in the area.

I can send the complete report (in pdf format) by
e-mail to the interested persons. Your comments or
suggestions are welcome.

I tried to determine the posterior distribution of model parameters for
the uncertainity assessment (for simplicity i approximated by
multinormal distribution). For two basins, i determined the posterior
distribution of model paramters (multinormal). How can we check that
two distribution are similar. Is there any test(like kolmogorv for
univariate) for multivariate normal distribution.

Dear members,

I wish to know on the applications of remote sensing and GIS for "Remote
Monitoring System To Detect Discharge Of Trade Effluent Into The Public Sewer".

I would appreciate your helps and suggestions, if I get related research
materials, links, and an outline (methodology) to do the pilot study with Rs and
GIS.

   2. Digital stage level recorder

   3  Digital rainfall recorded

Suresh,

If the reservoir draws down after events, I would assume that it has some
sort of low flow outlet. So you will need to find out info on that, but you
can assume a small pipe of some sort.  It would not have huge effect on
flood routing.   As to stage storage, you will need to extrapolate that high
enough to maximum weir flow level. The weir is a type of broad crested weir
for which you can obtain the appropriate rating curves with an internet
search, but given your lack of data, a coefficient of 2.6 should work fine.
Go to HydroCAD.net to get a free demo of nifty software that can then run
the computations for you.  I hope this helps.

Hi group members,

I am trying to do reservoir routing. I am having stage-storage table for the
reservoir(upto TWL only), and inflow hydrograph details.
I am not having any data like rating curves for the reservoir or
stage-discharge or storage-discharge relationships or table values.

I know only the starting level of the reservoir before the storm event. I
know weir length over which spill occur after reaching the Top water
level(TWL). Spill over weir occur after reaching TWL. Before that no spill
or no scouring too.
Now I am assuming no scouring even spill starts, As i don't have data on
scouring from the reservoir.


My Queries are,

1. I tried to do the puls method. But i struck up with "how to develop the
curves - 2S/del t + O and 2S/del t - O" which is useful for further steps of
the method. I already mentioned above the availability of data with me. I
find difficult with those above data to develop the above curves.

2. I don't know how to develop relation - 2S/del t + O Vs O with the above
available data. Once I got this, I can do other things easily.

2a. How to get stage-discharge or storage-discharge relationship or table
values with the above data of stage-storage table. Even I don't have
stage-surface area values too.

3. My weir length 18 m. How to select the weir coeff.? type of weir is bell
shape. This is the info i have. Spill over weir is in a box type chamber and
go to a channel and go to a next reservoir. Suggest me a good weir coeff.
for my discharge calc. over the weir. I try to use 3. Is it ok.?
I use Q = CL(H^3/2)

4. suggest me some other good method/easy method for the same above problem
of res.routing. Or send me some good literatures on the same subject.

Every efforts from the group would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Suresh,
You may find it useful to download the MIDUSS Reference manual at no
cost from the site below
<http://www.miduss.com/resources.htm#MIDUSS%20manual> .
Chapter 8 covers the relevant theory on some of your questions.  In
particular you need to be careful in the use of empirical
coefficients that are often dependant on the system of units employed.

For solutions to actual problems you may download a demonstration
copy of the MIDUSS program that has many features to assist in
reservoir (Pond) routing.  You can use the available hydrology
commands to generate the inflow hydrograph although in the
demonstration version some restrictions apply.  Alternatively you can
prepare an ASCII file defining the hydrograph and import this to the
program.  The MIDUSS program can be downloaded at
<http://www.miduss.com/MIDUSS_v2_downloads_user_select.htm>.

Good luck

Greetings!

You and your colleagues are cordially invited to attend an exciting
three-day continuing education workshop on aquifer testing methods and
data analysis techniques featuring AQTESOLV at the University of San
Diego in San Diego, California, USA on February 27 through March 1, 2007.

For this course, we are privileged to have Dr. Shlomo P. Neuman from
the University of Arizona join us as a special guest lecturer. He will
discuss his important contributions to the pumping test literature
including the Neuman-Witherspoon (1972) ratio method and the Neuman
(1972; 1974; 1975) method for unconfined aquifers with delayed gravity
response.

Dr. Jim Butler, the 2007 NGWA Darcy Lecturer, will be with us again to
present cutting-edge concepts for designing, conducting and analyzing
slug tests. In addition, Glenn M. Duffield, the developer of AQTESOLV,
will lead hands-on classroom sessions in the computerized analysis of
field data with the AQTESOLV software.

We offer the only courses that feature hands-on computerized data
analysis with AQTESOLV, the world's leading software for the analysis
of aquifer tests (http://www.aqtesolv.com/).

WORKSHOP TITLE:
Advanced Aquifer Testing Procedures Featuring AQTESOLV: New Concepts,
Field Methods and Data Analysis Procedures

WHERE:
Manchester Executive Center at the University of San Diego in San
Diego, California, USA

WHEN:
February 27 through March 1, 2007 (3 Days)

PRESENTED BY:
Midwest Geosciences Group

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS:
2.4 CEUs by University of San Diego

CEUs pre-approved for MA LSPs, CT LEPs, TX CAPMs, IA CGWPs, OK USTCs,
DE PGs

COURSE SYNOPSIS:
Conducting pumping tests and slug tests in complex hydrogeologic
settings such as heterogeneous or fractured media is a key element to
site characterization, water resources assessment and remediation
system design; however, poorly planned aquifer testing programs often
lead to suspect data or unanswered questions after the field work is
complete. Even when you are confident of the geologic conditions, you
may have difficulty designing effective tests, running field equipment
or selecting the best available model to analyze the test data. When
can you turn to improve your approach and skills for aquifer testing?

Midwest GeoSciences Group can help! We have designed a powerful
three-day course on aquifer testing design, field methods and data
analysis techniques featuring AQTESOLV. This course will provide you
with the knowledge to master pumping tests and slug tests from
beginning to end. Gain an advantage by learning up-to-date methods and
procedures for designing, conducting and analyzing aquifer tests.

For complete course details, please visit the Midwest GeoSciences web
site at http://www.midwestgeo.com/.

Performance, and Analysis of Slug Tests"

Glenn M. Duffield, president of HydroSOLVE, Inc. and author of AQTESOLV

Shlomo P. Neuman, Ph.D., University of Arizona and author of numerous
important contributions to the analysis of pumping tests

As our special guest lecturer for this course, Dr. Neuman will bring
his unique perspective on state-of-the-art methods for the analysis of
pumping tests in unconfined and multiaquifer systems. He will discuss
his landmark contributions to the literature on the estimation of
aquitard properties using the Neuman-Witherspoon (1972) ratio method

I wish to establish a realtionship betwwen crop yield and water
balance parameter like rainfall, rainy day, rainy season duration, dry
spell in weeks, drought free period ( AET/PET), wrsi, water surplus,
deficit, moisture index etc.
i had worked out the simple correlation but a multiple regression
equation is to be developed. therfore , kindly suggest me that which
factors i can combined and how a curvilinear relationship ca be
developed. i had SPSS12 also.

with regards and again a very happy Deepawali.

The lack of data may render any estimate to nothing better than a guess.
That said, perhaps Parrault's method would serve your needs.

Pierre Parrault (1608-1680) estimated that 1/6 of the rainfall appeared as
stream flow. The method by which Parrault calculated the runoff was simple
and generally correct theoretically.  Parrault first estimated the rainfall
in the Seine River watershed above Paris on an annualized basis.  He then
estimated the river flow volume for the same period.  By dividing rainfall
by stream flow, Parrault concluded that 1/6 of the rainfall equaled the
stream flow volume.

Subject: Runoff estimation in ungauged catchment


Hi
I am currently crrying out water management studies in a hard rock
watershed (1000 sq.km) in Tamil Nadu and needs to compute the non-
committed surplus runoff available for my studies. As there are no
gauging stations, I have to use empirical methods for runoff
computation. I've computed the monsoon rainfall for the raingauge
stations using Theissen Polygon method and was planning to use
Strang's tables for runoff estimation. However, one of my polygons
have normal rainfall > 1000 mm. (hilly area, mostly) and I find that
Strang's Tables are available only upt 600 mm rainfall. Can anybody
tell me whether it is proper to extrapolate the curves graphically
using the available data ? If not, what other methods could I use?
Curve Number method is out of question as I don't have enough data
for that!

Recently I came across a software namely 'WADI' by ENEX Corporation,
which has a subroutine for runoff estimation. However, I am not able
to find any information or user manual of the program ( for the
theoritical background of the equations used etc.)anywhere. Any
suggestions.

Thanking you in advance

Dear Colleagues,

   Can any one of you give me some inputs regarding urban water treatment/water
managment activitis. To be specific, I am looking for some methodologis and
treatment plans. The sites are like lakes, and tanks and they are polluted by
industrial wastes and/or urban waste. Those who have expertise in these field
are requested to co-operate. Our worksites are in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

   May I expect some encoraging replies........

   Thanks in advance......

Hello everybody,

I am making a simulation in Visual
Modflow with seawat package. In my model, there is a
constant top boundary in a box and convection occurs
due to concentration gradient from top to bottom. The
question is that why 2 convective plumes (like in the
ELDER problem) form near the walls of the box instead
of 1 convective plume in the middle of the box? Thank
you. Regards,

Dear Friend

Atleast you need Evaporation data along with Monthly Discharge data for the
rough estimation of the Discharge. However using more precise tools like SMAR
(Soil Moister Acounting and Routing Model) You need daily Rainfall, Daily
evaporation and atleast one year's discjharge data to calibrate the model. The
physiographic parameters for better assessment of run off along with Rainfall &
evaporation data are Catchment area, its hypsometric curve, Snow cover area if
any , permanent snowline elevation, Maximum and Minimum temperature of at least
two stations.

Dear friends,

As i wish to do runoff modelling for a ungauged stream basin with water table
levels, precipitation data monthly, geology(granitic gneisses), fractures data,
geomorphology, slope and landuse, May I get a suggestion, which software is best
to do the runoff modelling and what other data require for the same modelling ?
