Using the area of Yabulai Mpountains, as an example, this paper provides insight into the chemistry of ground and surface water in western Inner Mongolia. The recharge mechanisms of groundwater and the hydrological evolution in this region during
Measurement of water content as a control of particle entrainment by wind

This study reports on a set of wind tunnel experiments designed to examine the dependency of the mass transport rate on water contents that are distributed through space and time. The goal is to simulate and monitor surface conditions that provide

Correlating specific conductivity with total hardness in limestone and dolomite karst waters
Carbonate dissolution ; Carbonate rock ; Hydrochemistry ; Karst ; Pennsylvania ; United States of America ; Water
The aim of this paper is to show how specific conductivity (SpC) measurements can further differentiate quantities of dissolved solids within carbonate karst areas, and thus help to suggest the natural evolutionary paths of the waters conveying them
. In densely populated, farmed or industrialized, regions many waters are now polluted. The conductivity meter can help to detect them; apart from the practical utility of such detection, this avoids distorsion that will result from their incorporation

model. For this case study, a linear regression model was developed to empirically assess the HLU. This analysis separates tidal and climatic impacts on water levels of the pond and indicates that astronomical tides dominate, explaining 65
% of the variance in pond water-level observations.
The aims of this review are to identify the dominant morphodynamic processes governing intertidal bar systems and provide a conceptual framework with which these bars can be further investigated. It is the dominant importance of tidal water level
variations and wave processes in shallow water depths (swash and surf zone bores), rather than wave height variability and deeper water wave processes (breaking and shoaling waves), that constitutes the main difference between intertidal and subtidal bar
and its water flows along an artificial canal. The system of canal could be modified using the sustainable methods to restore some natural functions of a stream such as water retaining and self-purifying function. Groundwater and biodiversity would benefit
from retaining the water in Ložnica valley. - (IKR)
