Radon volatilization mechanism into the gas phase was hypothesized to explain the anomalous decline in groundwater … both radon and methane in the groundwater since November 2007 at well D1 in the Antung hot spring. The mechanism of in …-situ radon volatilization has been corroborated by the simultaneous anomalous declines in groundwater-dissolved radon and methane …

Nutrient emissions from animal feeding operations continue to degrade water and air quality. New regulations will limit the amounts of nutrients that can be locally applied to land. In this article, a structural-dynamic model of a livestock-crop operation is calibrated with data from a...

We analyze the management of a coastal aquifer under seawater intrusion using distributed control methods. The aquifer's state is taken as the water head elevation, which varies with time and in space since extraction, natural recharge and lateral water flows vary with time and in space. The...
