Park, Eungyu (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This dissertation is composed of three parts of major contributions. In Chapter II, we discuss analytical study of contaminant transport from a finite source in a finite-thickness aquifer. This chapter provides analytical ...
-
Hao, Zengchao (2012-07-16)The dissertation focuses on the application of entropy theory in hydrologic analysis and simulation, namely, rainfall analysis, streamflow simulation and drought analysis. The extreme value distribution has been employed ...
-
Sun, Dongmin (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This dissertation is composed of three parts of major contributions: In Chapter II, we developed a new conceptual model and derived a new semi-analytical model for flow to a horizontal well beneath a water reservoir. Instead ...

Zhao, Fuman (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Triclosan is incorporated in a wide array of medical and consumer products as an antimicrobial agent or preservative. Disposal of these products transport triclosan into wastewater and later into soils and surface waters. ...
-
Gledhill, Dwight Kuehl (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Sedimentary basins can contain close to 20% by volume pore fluids that are commonly classified as brines. These fluids can become undersaturated with respect to calcite as a result of processes such as migration, dispersive ...
-
Liu, Xin (2014-12-15)In the past few decades, many researchers have studied evaporation from soil columns in the presence of a water table. Several water retention functions have been developed to describe the water flow behavior in the field ...
