- The impact of the slope of the sea bottom on the intrusion into coastal freshwater beds. Bereslavskii, �. N. // Doklady Physics;May2006, Vol. 51 Issue 5, p257
The article focuses on the effect of the slope of the sea bottom on the seawater intrusion into coastal water-bearing beds. The author considers the flow of fresh water from a horizontal aquifer to the sea with salt water. The inclination of the interface between seawater and fresh water starts...
- Spectral approach to seawater intrusion in heterogeneous coastal aquifers. Chang, C.-M.; Yeh, H.-D. // Hydrology & Earth System Sciences Discussions;2010, Vol. 7 Issue 1, p621
This work presents a two-dimensional horizontal plane model of seawater intrusion into a heterogeneous coastal unconfined aquifer under the spatially random recharge condition from a stochastic point of view. The stochastic response of the coastal unconfined aquifer is attributed to...

Kolleru Lake, the largest natural fresh water lake in Andhra Pradesh in India, located between Krishna and Godavari deltas is acting as a natural flood balancing reservoir and is fed directly by water from the seasonal rivers Budameru, Ramileru and Tammileru, and is also connected to the Krishna...
- Influence of Ambient Ozone Pollution on Olive Leaf Gas Exchange Irrigated with Saline Water. ABUSAFIEH, DAOUD; NANOS, GEORGE D. // International Journal of Agriculture & Biology;Oct2011, Vol. 13 Issue 5, p806
Saline water is often available for irrigation and ambient ozone pollution is significant in the Mediterranean region. These two factors may negatively affect cultivated plant productivity. We studied the effects of a combination of these stress factors on leaf gas exchange of young olive trees,...
- LUMINESCENCE DATING OF THE BARRIER SPIT AT CHILIKA LAKE, ORISSA, INDIA. Murray, A. S.; Mohanti, M. // Radiation Protection Dosimetry;2006, Vol. 119 Issue 1-4, p442
Optically stimulated luminescence dating has been used to investigate the chronological development of the outer barrier spit forming Chilika Lake (Orissa, India), the largest brackish-water lagoon in Asia. Sixteen samples were examined, and these yielded equivalent doses of between 153 ± 3 mGy...
