Parameter Identification at Large Scale through Solution of the Inverse Problem
Abstract: The fundamental benefit of groundwater modeling is to predict the response of the aquifer to the proposed man-mad excitation (e.g., pumping artificial recharge). Inverse analysis is frequently used for large-scale real-world problems, where the number of unknown parameters that will fully represent the heterogeneity becomes very large and the inverse analysis solution becomes ill-posed, to overcome this problem, in the present paper the study domain is divided into zones connected …

Towards a Geo-Classification of the Niger Delta for Highway Investment Costing Applications
Abstract: The study carries out a quasi-experimentation, as a basis of devising a spatial quantitative concept, delineating distinct geologic settings which would have differing cost implications for highway infrastructure development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Three broad conceptual geomorphic boundaries, for the categorisation of Niger Delta soils in engineering geologic costing application, were discerned within this conceptual lens. The study further statistically explores the synthesised geo-zonation for differences in …

Punjab’s Wetlands as Inland Analogues of Marine Ecosystems: Status, Stressors and CommunityLed Conservation.
Abstract: Aquatic and wetland ecosystems in Punjab, India, represent ecologically significant yet increasingly degraded socioecological systems embedded within an intensively managed agrarian landscape. Despite their recognised importance, existing studies largely treat these systems using conventional freshwater ecological frameworks, with limited integration of microbiologically mediated processes and broader ecosystem theories. A key research gap, therefore, lies in the lack of interdisciplinary approaches that can holistically interpret wetland structure, function, and governance across …

Landslide Risk Assessment in Kodagu District, Karnataka: A Case Study
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, an attempt has been made to assess the landslide risk zones using a GIS based weighted linear overlay method with Satty’s analytical hierarchical process to maintain consistency for assigning rank and weight for following factors includes geology, geomorphology, rainfall, soil, road density, drainage density, and topographic triggering factors such as slope and aspects are taken as input for assessment of landslide risk.Thus the technique used in landslide …

Characteristics of Geology in Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Area, Bangladesh
Abstract: This study represents the general characteristics of foundation soil in Khulna City Corporation (KCC) area. The KCC is situated in southwestern part in Bangladesh. Lithologically the area is composed of coarse to very fine silty sand, silt, silty clay, clayey silt and clay in various proportion. The SPT (Standard Penetration Test) value of the investigated area range between 0 and 7 from surface to 8 m deep. Here, the liquid …

Comprehensive Review of the Tehri Dam: Current Status and Developments
Abstract: The Tehri Dam project in India's Chandpur Formation, located in the Himalayan region, has raised concerns about seismic risks due to the presence of main central thrust and main boundary thrust lines. A comprehensive seismic risk analysis was conducted during the design phase of the Tehri Project at the University of Roorkee and the Hydro Project Institute in Moscow. The rock-fill dam is equipped with an underground powerhouse with four …
