Access to clean drinking water is a critical global imperative, particularly in regions facing water scarcity. The present study aims to explore a sustainable approach for enhancing water quality by desalinating geothermal water which is extracted from a geothermal hotspot at Dholera, Gujarat. Since there is a shortage of clean and potable water in the area, it is advisable to use this renewable resource for drinking and irrigation purpose after treatment through a suitable method powered by organic rankine cycle (ORC) which not only serves the aim of sustainable approach but also has minimum environmental impact. The investigation illustrates fabrication and demonstration of geothermal-aided desalination unit and its plant set up at the study area for qualitative desalination of highly saline water. The system's performance is evaluated for seasonal variations in geothermal water, both before and after desalination. Results shows a significant reduction in contaminants, with decrease in salinity by 95.30% and total dissolved solids (TDS) by 96.91%. The novelty of this approach lies in salt extraction from the by-product of rejected water, contributing to resource recovery. This approach demonstrates an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution to address water scarcity in the region which is aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs). The process's effectiveness for implementation is suggested by the strong p-values (all <0.001). Additionally, the Cohen's d values, which are noticeably high across all parameters, indicate strong effect sizes ensuring desalination's viability for practical uses such as irrigation and safe drinking.
获得清洁饮用水是全球的当务之急,尤其是在缺水地区。本研究旨在探索一种可持续的方法,通过淡化从古吉拉特邦 Dholera 一个地热热点提取的地热水来提高水质。由于该地区缺少清洁的饮用水,因此最好采用有机秩循环(ORC)驱动的合适方法对这种可再生资源进行处理,然后将其用于饮用和灌溉目的,这不仅符合可持续发展的目标,而且对环境的影响也最小。调查说明了地热辅助海水淡化装置的制造和演示,以及在研究地区建立的用于高盐度水定性淡化的工厂。在地热水淡化前后,对该系统的性能进行了季节性变化评估。结果表明,污染物明显减少,盐度降低了 95.30%,总溶解固体(TDS)降低了 96.91%。这种方法的新颖之处在于从废水的副产品中提取盐分,有助于资源回收。这种方法是解决该地区缺水问题的一种环境友好型可持续解决方案,符合可持续发展目标(SDGs)。强大的 p 值(均为 0.001)表明了该流程的实施效果。此外,所有参数的 Cohen's d 值都很高,这表明海水淡化在灌溉和安全饮用等实际用途方面具有很强的效果。

Shallow groundwater is a crucial source of clean water in developing countries like Indonesia. However, population growth has led to declining water quality due to inadequate infrastructure. This study aimed to identify dominant factors contributing to coliform contamination in shallow groundwater, addressing the lack of detailed statistical and multicriteria analyses in previous large-scale studies. The study was conducted in a densely populated urban area in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and total coliform measurements from 42 groundwater samples were used as the independent variable. There are 14 dependent variables, categorized into three aspects: infrastructure (e.g., well type, well depth, wall of well, DEWATS type, well distance to the septic tank, latrine, and other contaminant sources); specific (e.g., population density and land use); and intrinsic (e.g., groundwater level, rainfall, soil type, and slope). Those parameters were statistically analyzed using logistic regression with IBM SPSS 26 software, and supported by the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) that was employed using Expert Choice software to prioritize the factors. The results showed that 83.3% of the shallow groundwater samples exceeded the acceptable limits for total coliform, with key factors including well's proximity to other contamination sources, slope, distance from septic tanks, groundwater level, and population density. These findings highlight the importance of considering complex environmental factors in managing groundwater quality, particularly in developing countries. It is recommended that local authorities implement stricter regulations and infrastructure improvements to mitigate contamination risks.
在印度尼西亚等发展中国家,浅层地下水是清洁水的重要来源。然而,由于基础设施不足,人口增长导致水质下降。本研究旨在确定造成浅层地下水大肠菌群污染的主要因素,解决以往大规模研究中缺乏详细统计和多标准分析的问题。研究在印度尼西亚日惹人口稠密的城市地区进行,以 42 个地下水样本的总大肠菌群测量值作为自变量。共有 14 个因变量,分为三个方面:基础设施(如水井类型、井深、井壁、DEWATS 类型、水井与化粪池、厕所和其他污染源的距离);特定变量(如人口密度和土地利用);内在变量(如地下水位、降雨量、土壤类型和坡度)。使用 IBM SPSS 26 软件对这些参数进行了逻辑回归统计分析,并使用专家选择软件的层次分析法(AHP)对这些因素进行了优先排序。结果表明,83.3% 的浅层地下水样本的总大肠菌群超过了可接受限值,主要因素包括水井与其他污染源的距离、坡度、与化粪池的距离、地下水位和人口密度。这些发现强调了在管理地下水质量时考虑复杂环境因素的重要性,尤其是在发展中国家。建议地方当局实施更严格的法规并改善基础设施,以降低污染风险。

Effective groundwater management is critical in arid and semi-arid regions, where water resources are essential for agriculture. This study assesses the Irrigation Water Quality Index (IWQI) of the Southern Gabès aquifer in Tunisia using a combination of traditional hydrochemical analysis and machine learning models—specifically, Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). A total of 83 groundwater samples were analyzed based on five key parameters: Electrical Conductivity (EC), Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Chloride (Cl-), Sodium (Na+), and Bicarbonate (HCO3-). The results show that the CART model demonstrated superior performance with an R2 value of 0.99 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.43, while the SVM model achieved an R2 of 0.87. These findings underscore CART's robustness in predicting IWQI, offering high precision even with limited datasets.
The groundwater quality was categorized, revealing that 62% of samples were classified as "satisfactory" for irrigation, while 31% were deemed "unsuitable" without treatment, highlighting areas of concern for agricultural use. The study also emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and adaptive management strategies to ensure sustainable water use in the region.
Overall, this research demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning models, particularly CART, in accurately assessing groundwater quality. These insights provide valuable tools for resource managers to make informed decisions, ensuring the sustainable exploitation of groundwater in arid and semi-arid regions. The findings pave the way for future research and policy development in water resource management.
在干旱和半干旱地区,有效的地下水管理至关重要,因为水资源对农业至关重要。本研究采用传统水化学分析和机器学习模型(特别是分类回归树(CART)和支持向量机(SVM))相结合的方法,对突尼斯南部加贝斯含水层的灌溉水质量指数(IWQI)进行了评估。共对 83 个地下水样本进行了基于五个关键参数的分析:电导率 (EC)、钠吸附率 (SAR)、氯化物 (Cl-)、钠 (Na+) 和碳酸氢盐 (HCO3-)。结果表明,CART 模型性能优越,R2 值为 0.99,均方根误差 (RMSE) 为 0.43,而 SVM 模型的 R2 值为 0.87。对地下水质量进行了分类,结果显示 62% 的样本被归类为 "令人满意",可用于灌溉,而 31% 的样本未经处理即被视为 "不适合",这凸显了农业用水的关注领域。这项研究还强调了持续监测和适应性管理策略对确保该地区可持续用水的重要性。总体而言,这项研究证明了机器学习模型,尤其是 CART,在准确评估地下水质量方面的有效性。这些见解为资源管理人员做出明智决策提供了宝贵的工具,确保了干旱和半干旱地区地下水的可持续开发。这些发现为今后水资源管理方面的研究和政策制定铺平了道路。

This work aims at the hydro-geochemical and isotopic characterization of the water resource (surface water and shallow phreatic aquifer) of the Metauro River catchment (Marche, Central Italy). The waters of the Metauro River area represent a fundamental resource exploited daily for drinking, agricultural, and industrial uses. The anthropic pressure exposes the water resources to depletion and quality degradation risks, making the study area of high scientific and social interest. The hydro-geochemical approach revealed that the interaction between water and local lithologies led to Ca2+-HCO3- compositions, with less frequent Na+(K+)-Cl- and Ca2+-Cl- hydrofacies and variable salinity (up to 55 meq/L). Most waters showed natural (e.g., halite and evaporite contribution) and anthropogenic (sewage, septic tanks, manure, urban wastewater, and industrial effluents contribution) inputs confirmed by both Na+, Cl, NO3, and SO42− enrichments and high Cl/Br ratios. The anthropogenic contributions is further confirmed by the relatively high contents of TPTEs (Total Potentially Toxic Elements), even though these elements individually present values below the Italian Normative Legislative limit. Geochemical issues are mitigated during the year when the surface aquifer is recharged by the river, characterized by a better overall chemical quality. The occurrence of this relationship is of interest to the local authorities in charge of the water resource management. In fact, groundwater exploitation could be increased during specific periods, thus decreasing the anthropic pressure on the river waters, usually exploited for drinking purposes even during the summer seasons when the hydrometric levels drastically drop. The adopted multidisciplinary approach provides an effective tool for accurately determining groundwater processes and can be helpful in improving the balanced and sustainable management of water resources in coastal and non-coastal plains.
这项研究旨在对梅陶罗河流域(意大利中部马尔凯省)的水资源(地表水和浅层含水层)进行水文地球化学和同位素分析。梅陶罗河地区的水是一种基本资源,每天都被用于饮用、农业和工业用途。人类活动的压力使水资源面临枯竭和水质下降的风险,因此该研究区域具有很高的科学和社会价值。水文地球化学方法显示,水与当地岩性之间的相互作用导致 Ca2+-HCO3- 组成,Na+(K+)-Cl- 和 Ca2+-Cl- 水相较少,盐度多变(高达 55 meq/L)。大多数水域都有自然(如卤石和蒸发岩)和人为(污水、化粪池、粪便、城市污水和工业废水)输入,Na+、Cl-、NO3- 和 SO42- 的富集以及 Cl/Br 的高比率都证实了这一点。尽管这些元素的单个值低于意大利规范性立法限值,但相对较高的 TPTEs(潜在有毒元素总量)含量进一步证实了人为因素的影响。在地表含水层得到河流补给的年份,地球化学问题会得到缓解,因为这一年的整体化学质量较好。负责水资源管理的地方当局对这种关系的发生很感兴趣。事实上,在特定时期可以增加地下水的开采量,从而减少人类对河水的压力,因为即使在水文水位急剧下降的夏季,河水也通常被用作饮用水。所采用的多学科方法为准确确定地下水过程提供了有效工具,有助于改善沿海和非沿海平原水资源的平衡和可持续管理。

Widespread nature of microplastics in rivers and their tributaries causes enormous harm to the aquatic environment. The present study investigates quantity, color, size, form, and composition of microplastics present in water from the Cooum River of Chennai in India. A total of 341 microplastics observed in water samples (n = 10) were characterized by transparent particles (42%) of mainly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP). About 69% of the particles with size <1000 μm raise the possibility of being ingested by aquatic species. Fiber was the most common shape (48%), followed by film (20%), pellets (12%), fragments (12%), beads (5%), and foam (4%). Variable abundances of different shapes demonstrate a variety of sources, including the textile fibers and plastic breakdown. Polymers with high-risk ratings such as nylon and polypropylene are reflected with an estimated high Polymer Hazard Index (PHI >1000) in some samples. Pollution Load Index suggested that samples along the river are moderately contaminated with microplastics. However, the Polymer Hazard Index (PERI) showed low ecological risk in the metropolitan area, river mouth, and potential fishing zones. These findings highlight ecological impact from the ubiquity of microplastics in waters from the Cooum River. Thus, the minimizing of microplastic pollution would require immediate action, including the implementation of stringent waste management and pollution reduction techniques.
河流及其支流中广泛存在的微塑料对水生环境造成了巨大危害。本研究调查了印度钦奈库姆河水中微塑料的数量、颜色、大小、形态和成分。在水样(n = 10)中共观察到 341 个微塑料颗粒(42%),主要是聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)和聚丙烯(PP)。约 69% 的颗粒大小为 1000 μm,有可能被水生生物摄入。纤维是最常见的形状(48%),其次是薄膜(20%)、颗粒(12%)、碎片(12%)、珠子(5%)和泡沫(4%)。不同形状的物质含量不一,说明其来源多种多样,包括纺织纤维和塑料分解物。尼龙和聚丙烯等高风险聚合物在某些样本中的聚合物危害指数(PHI >1000)估计较高。污染负荷指数表明,河流沿岸的样本受到了微塑料的中度污染。不过,聚合物危害指数(PERI)显示,大都市区、河口和潜在捕鱼区的生态风险较低。这些发现凸显了库姆河水体中无处不在的微塑料对生态的影响。因此,要最大限度地减少微塑料污染,需要立即采取行动,包括实施严格的废物管理和减少污染技术。

This study focuses on understanding the physical foundations of the transient electromagnetic method, such as the transition from a simple basic principle to a more complex principle, starting from the Biot-Savart law until the current concept. It calculates the steady and transient magnetic fields around any electrical wire system. Accordingly, this law will be used to determine the magnetic field around the square loop configuration, which matches the magnetic field arising from the circular loop configuration. The square loop equation was derived and extended to include changes in the half-space, which allows us to understand how the electromagnetic waves travel in the subsurface and the farthest point, that can record the TEM response from the TEM loop, according to the loop size and loop current. Accordingly, the deduced equations were applied to predict the transient magnetic field curves of the Quaternary aquifer in three different water zones along the Nile delta, depending on the values of resistivity and chargeability caused by the variations in salinity and clay contents. The calculated transient magnetic curves were then compared with other measured field curves to confirm the validity of the derived equations. Therefore, these curves are expected to be used as guide curves for the transient magnetic field response in this aquifer.

本研究的重点是了解瞬态电磁法的物理基础,如从简单的基本原理到更复杂的原理,从比奥特-萨瓦特定律开始,直到目前的概念。它可以计算任何电线系统周围的稳定和瞬态磁场。因此,该定律将用于确定方形环形结构周围的磁场,它与圆形环形结构产生的磁场相匹配。方形环路方程的推导和扩展包括了半空间的变化,这使我们能够了解电磁波如何在地表下传播,以及根据环路尺寸和环路电流可记录 TEM 环路 TEM 响应的最远点。因此,根据盐度和粘土含量变化引起的电阻率和电荷率值,应用推导出的方程来预测尼罗河三角洲沿岸三个不同水区的第四纪含水层的瞬态磁场曲线。然后,将计算出的瞬态磁场曲线与其他实测磁场曲线进行比较,以确认推导方程的有效性。因此,这些曲线有望用作该含水层瞬态磁场响应的指导曲线。此外,这些曲线对于估算选定区域以及具有相同地质和水文地质背景的其他区域的主要地下水含水层的水文地质物理特征也很重要。此外,还提出了一个适用于世界上任何三角洲环境的测量和计算数据的通用模型。

Overexploitation, pollution, and anthropogenic activities threaten the sustainability of groundwater resources in the western Indo-Gangetic Basin. Meanwhile, distinguishing regions prone to contamination and understanding the natural and anthropogenic factors affecting groundwater quality is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of aquifer systems and the lack of high-resolution spatial and temporal data on aquifer protective hydrogeological layers. This study presents a transdisciplinary robust approach combining regional electrical resistivity surveys, hydrogeological data, physicochemical analyses, and geospatial datasets to identify regions prone to contamination and understand the impacts of natural and anthropogenic factors on groundwater resources. This approach involves three key steps: evaluating the geohydraulic nature of aquifer protective hydrogeological layers, mapping the aquifer vulnerability index (AVI), and conducting comparative analyses of potentially vulnerable areas with groundwater quality index (GWQI) and hydrological factors. Firstly, model-based inversion of ID Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) data provides insights into geoelectrical indices such as depth, thickness, apparent resistivity, longitudinal conductance, transverse resistance, and longitudinal resistivity of aquifer protective hydrogeological layers. Second, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is used as a multilayer perceptron network to simulate hydraulic conductivity (K) using geoelectrical indices of aquifer protective hydrogeological layers. Subsequently, by considering ANN-derived K and VES-derived h of aquifer protective hydrogeological layers, the dynamic hydraulic resistance to the vertical flow of wastewater through the protective hydrogeological layers evaluated the index of the potentially vulnerable areas. Comparative analyses of potentially vulnerable areas with GWQI and hydrological factors (e.g., digital elevation model, soil, drainage density, lineament density, slope) enhance understanding regions prone to contaminants and land surface stress. Findings show that the ANN approach to simulate K, reducing effort with costs associated with slug testing is significant for AVI assessment. Furthermore, the geohydraulic characteristics, vulnerability indexing, and comparative analyses assist in identifying contamination-prone areas, improving groundwater resource protection and exploration activities.
过度开采、污染和人为活动威胁着印度洋-甘地盆地西部地下水资源的可持续性。同时,由于含水层系统的异质性,以及缺乏含水层保护水文地质层的高分辨率时空数据,要区分易受污染的区域并了解影响地下水质量的自然和人为因素具有挑战性。本研究提出了一种结合区域电阻率测量、水文地质数据、物理化学分析和地理空间数据集的跨学科稳健方法,以确定易受污染的区域,并了解自然和人为因素对地下水资源的影响。这种方法包括三个关键步骤:评估含水层保护水文地质层的地质水文性质、绘制含水层脆弱性指数(AVI)图,以及对潜在脆弱区域与地下水质量指数(GWQI)和水文因素进行比较分析。首先,通过基于模型的 ID 垂直电探测(VES)数据反演,可以了解含水层保护水文地质层的深度、厚度、视电阻率、纵向电导率、横向电阻率和纵向电阻率等地质电学指数。其次,将人工神经网络(ANN)模型作为多层感知器网络,利用含水层保护水文地质层的地质电学指标模拟水力传导率(K)。随后,通过考虑 ANN 导出的 K 和 VES 导出的含水层保护水文地质层 h,评估了废水流经保护水文地质层时垂直流动的动态水力阻力,从而评估了潜在易受影响地区的指数。将潜在脆弱区域与 GWQI 和水文因素(如数字高程模型、土壤、排水密度、线状密度、坡度)进行比较分析,可加深对易受污染物和地表压力影响区域的了解。研究结果表明,用 ANN 方法模拟 K,减少了与弹头测试相关的工作量和成本,对 AVI 评估意义重大。此外,地质水文特征、脆弱性指数和比较分析有助于确定易受污染地区,改善地下水资源保护和勘探活动。

Knowledge of groundwater recharge is a prerequisite for sustainable management of water resources. However, in Ethiopia, recharge estimation methodology remains haphazard regarding selection and application of various methods. Therefore, the objective of this study is to review commonly applied groundwater recharge estimation methods in Ethiopia, identify and analyze the main challenges and limitations that affect the reliability of recharge estimates, and suggest insights for future research. For this purpose, a systematic literature review is conducted focusing on Ethiopia and similar regions. About 87.8% of the reviewed studies have applied only one recharge estimation method. The selection of recharge estimation methods is mainly dependent on the availability of data regardless of their appropriateness to the actual field conditions and the inherent limitations of the methods. Comparatively, the WetSpass, SWAT, water table fluctuation (WTF), and chloride mass balance (CMB) techniques are frequently applied methods in a decreasing order of 20, 18, 13, and 12% respectively. Insufficient areal coverage of rainfall data, inaccurate estimates of evapotranspiration, low performance to simulate peak stream flow data, inadequacy of soil and rainfall chloride data, and misappropriation of recharge estimation methods to the actual field conditions are the main challenges for the rise of uncertainty of these methods. In general, recharge studies that have applied various recharge estimation techniques in Ethiopia have one limitation in common – i.e., failure to provide sufficient verification of results. Hence, this study shows that recharge estimations in Ethiopia are less reliable so that recharge values cannot be trusted to make robust water resources development plans. Therefore, selection of recharge estimation methods should rely on prior identification of recharge mechanisms and appropriation of the method to actual field conditions. The verification process should be accompanied by adequate field data measurements.
地下水补给知识是水资源可持续管理的先决条件。然而,在埃塞俄比亚,在选择和应用各种方法方面,补给量估算方法仍然杂乱无章。因此,本研究的目的是回顾埃塞俄比亚常用的地下水补给估算方法,确定并分析影响补给估算可靠性的主要挑战和局限性,并为未来研究提出见解。为此,我们以埃塞俄比亚和类似地区为重点,进行了系统的文献综述。约 87.8% 的综述研究只采用了一种补给估算方法。补给估算方法的选择主要取决于数据的可用性,而不考虑其是否适合实际的实地条件以及方法的固有局限性。相对而言,WetSpass、SWAT、地下水位波动(WTF)和氯化物质量平衡(CMB)技术是经常使用的方法,其使用率依次递减,分别为 20%、18%、13% 和 12%。降雨数据覆盖面积不足、蒸散量估算不准确、模拟峰值流量数据的性能较低、土壤和降雨氯化物数据不足以及补给估算方法与实际野外条件不匹配是这些方法不确定性增加的主要挑战。总的来说,在埃塞俄比亚采用各种补给估算技术进行的补给研究都有一个共同的局限性,即未能对结果进行充分验证。因此,本研究表明,埃塞俄比亚的补给估算不太可靠,补给值不能用于制定稳健的水资源开发计划。因此,在选择补给估算方法时,应事先确定补给机制,并将方法与实际的实地条件相适应。在验证过程中,应进行充分的实地数据测量。

地下水为印度等发展中国家提供了可持续的饮用水。然而,受污染的地下水会直接影响人类健康。联合国的政策是到 2030 年为所有人提供清洁水。因此,对从印度拉贾斯坦邦部分地区采集的地下水样本进行了化学参数分析,以确定地下水水质变化的来源和相关的健康风险。为实现这一目标,采用了熵水质指数(EWQI)、皮珀图和吉布斯图、离子比率(IR)、合成污染指数(SPI)、主成分分析(PCA)和非致癌健康风险(NHR)等综合方法。EWQI 显示,由于 TDS、Na+、Cl-、SO42-、NO3- 和 F- 含量较高,81.86%的地区地下水质量不适合饮用,经方差分析检验,差异具有统计学意义。修正的皮珀图显示,36.67%、22.73%、13.64%和 27.27%的地下水样本中存在 Ca2+ - HCO3-、Ca2+ - Cl-、Na+ - Cl-和 Na+ - HCO3-类型。吉布斯图显示,分别有 59.09% 和 40.81% 的地下水样本属于岩石域和蒸发域。红外光谱表明,地质作用(矿物溶解、离子交换和蒸发)和人为活动导致地下水水质恶化。PCA 表明 PC1 的 TDS、Mg2+、Na+、Cl- 和 SO42- 负荷较高,PC2 的 pH 和 F- 负荷较高,PC3 的 NO3-、K+ 和 HCO3- 负荷较高,t 检验分析进一步证实了这一点。SPI 显示,99.82% 的研究区域受到污染。儿童、女性和男性的 NHR 值(分别为 0.03 至 1.68、0.02 至 1.29 和 0.03 至 1.30)表明,与男性和女性相比,长期接触含 NO3- 和 F-的饮用水对儿童的健康造成的风险更高。建议定期进行水质监测、建立卫生设施、限制农用化学品的使用等。这样的研究将有助于环境公共卫生计划。

Egypt's Golden Triangle megaproject within Egypt's vision 2030, involving land reclamation in Qena Bend's densely populated governorate, develops sustainable land management strategies. Advanced technologies and low-cost remote sensing multi-data fusion are utilized to understand subsidence dynamics influenced by geologic structure, groundwater, climate change, and human activities in Egypt's Nile Valley.

埃及 2030 年远景规划中的埃及金三角大型项目涉及在人口稠密的基纳弯省进行土地开垦,该项目制定了可持续土地管理战略。利用先进技术和低成本遥感多数据融合技术,了解受埃及尼罗河谷地质结构、地下水、气候变化和人类活动影响的沉降动态。这种方法可以识别环境危害,并详细解释地下水引起的基岩沉降,有助于做出明智的决策和规避风险。大地遥感卫星图像显示,耕地面积增加了 13%,城市人口增长了 28.28%,水量减少了 8.46%,从而影响了地下水资源并控制了局势。重力恢复与气候实验(GRACE)和全球陆地数据同化系统(GLDAS)的卫星观测显示了蓄水量的变化,对气候变化、地下水蓄水动态和含水层行为产生了影响。历史数据表明,降水量从 5 毫米到 60 毫米之间呈明显的西南-东北梯度。GLDAS 显示土壤水分从 0.25 毫米下降到 0.23 毫米。全球地下水资源评估(GRACE)(总蓄水量)逐渐减少,然后在 2020 年至 2023 年期间略有增加,平均值(-5 厘米/年)。地下水储量在雨季增加,2015 年为(+3-4 毫米),2018 年小于(+1 毫米),2020-2023 年为(+6-8 毫米)。NE-SW 断层和 NW-SE 断层增加了含水层的水力联系和补给,导致始新世石灰岩含水层的地下水循环和岩溶化,给城市发展和人类安全带来风险。InSAR(合成孔径雷达)测量了随时间变化的地面沉降,显示西北部地面沉降范围为(-0.04 至-0.07 米),东南部地面沉降范围为(+0.03 米),平均下沉(-4 厘米),这主要与碳酸盐岩和地下水之间相互作用促使地下水储量增加有关。ArcGIS 叠加模型将该区域划分为三个区域:北部、中部和南部,每个区域都有不同程度的位移和地下水储存。研究结果表明,遥感技术具有成本效益和准确性,适用于全球水文地质相似地区,因此在发展规划的灾害评估中具有重要意义。
