Management of urban water for domestic and industrial uses and sustainability in Anambra State, Nigeria

Nigeria has abundant water resources. This natural endowment is evident in the yearly rainfall and large surface bodies of water-rivers, streams as well as abundant reservoirs of underground water. However, because of lack of good developmental policy, the rational use of the water resources still poses problems and challenges in most states of the country. For some time now these water problems have been left with the...

Transient numerical approach to estimate groundwater dewatering flow rates for a large construction site: a case study from the Middle East

A three-dimensional, transient groundwater model was developed to determine the rate, volume, and number of pumping wells required to estimate the dewatering of three deep excavations at a large coastal construction site in the Middle East with a shallow groundwater table. There was limited site-specific hydrogeologic information for the site. A calibrated MODFLOW-based groundwater model was developed using the...
