  Hydro-geoelectric properties of the Asmari and Ilam-Sarvak formations in Susan Syncline (located in Middle Karoon Basin), North of Izeh, were investigated to recognize electrical resistivity ranges of dry and wet limestone, karstification, and fractures and determine the areas with high potential for groundwater exploitation. For this purpose, the resistivity data were collected in 245 vertical geoelectric sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array in the contact of limestone and adjacent alluvium. The resistivity data were interpreted as one-dimensional and two-dimensional tomography (using RES2DINV software). The resistivity curves of VES in the Asmari Formation have lower value and ranges of resistivity than the Ilam-Sarvak Formation which can be understood by high yield of the aquifers from the smooth descending VES curves. Interpretation of two-dimensional geoelectrical tomography revealed that the Ilam - Sarvak Formations have considerable potential groundwater in crushed zones but the karst development and cavities in them are less than the Asmari limestone. The spring discharges from the Ilam-Sravak Formations in Susan area is in relation with the contact of compact limestone and water bearing fractured zones. Despite the lack of major springs in the Susan Syncline,the results of the hydro-geoelectrical investigation showed the Asmari limestone aquifer, has a high groundwater potential. The electrical resistivity of the Asmari Formation is lower than the Ilam-Sravak ones because of the higher porosity of limestone matrix in the former. Manuscript profile

  High local groundwater flow into rock tunnels is a technical and environmental problem for underground constructions. Geological structures such as faults, open fractures, and dissolution channels could play important roles in conducting ground waters to the tunnels. However, prediction of groundwater inflow from these structures using analytical and empirical method often failed due to given hydrogeological assumptions and simplification such as a homogeneous and isotropic porous medium around the tunnel. The Zagros water tunnel is located in the northwest of Kermanshah province. A huge amount of groundwater flow into the tunnel through fractures occurred during drilling of the second part of tunnel. The second part of tunnel passes through Pabdeh and Gurpi formations. A considerable amount of groundwater flushed into the tunnel when the Ilam Formation was penetrated, causing numerous problems and great damage to the drilling operation. The goal of this study is to identify the factors that influenced water flows into the tunnel. To this purpose, geological features of high flow rate zones have been identified and investigated. The highest input rate (800 l/s) was recorded in the zone Hz23 located in Kurdighaseman anticline. The relationship between geological features and the groundwater inflow into the tunnel indicated that faults play conveying role for ground water into the tunnel. Evaluation of high local groundwater inflow to rock tunnels based on characterization of geological structures is more reliable compared to available analytical and empirical estimation.

  For management and planning valuable groundwater resources, it is very important to predict groundwater level and have a correct understanding about aquifer changes. In this paper for the first time, the wavelet Halt-Winters hybrid models (WHW) were used and tested for groundwater forecasting. A monthly data set of 16 years consisting of groundwater level fluctuations was used in two observation wells of Urmieh coastal aquifer. In the WHW, the dataset was converted into several sub-dataset with different time scales. Then, the sub-series were used in the HW model as inputs. Subsequently, the performance of the WHW model was compared with ARIMA, HW, and SARIMA as linear models and neural network models (ANN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) as nonlinear models. The results showed that the NSE and RMSE values of the WHW model were upgraded up to 30% and 60% respectively, in comparison with linear models. The WHW hybrid model also has the same performance compared to nonlinear models. This research reflects that if there are multiple seasonal fluctuations in the groundwater time series, the performance of the WHW model compared with linear models will be more accurate.

  In this study, the concentration-number fractal method was used for regional exploration studies, and determining the anomalies of copper, lead and zinc elements. For this purpose, 800 samples of stream sediments were selected from the rivers in the area (i.e. from Kahak and Aran geological maps, 1: 100,000 sheets) and then the anomalies of these elements were mapped. The results show that strong copper anomalies are observed in the northern, central, southern and western parts of the area and the highest lead anomalies are located in the western part of the area. Strong anomalies of the zinc element are located in the central, southern and western parts of the region. These anomalies coincide with the lithological units of andesitic- basalt lava, volcanic breccia, tuffs, dacites, small scale masses of quartz -diorite, and small-scale masses of quartz-monzonite. The obtained map from combining anomalies and faults map reveals that the anomalies are mostly concentrated in fault zones and fault intersection points in the area and faults play a fundamental role in ore mineralization.

  One of the main concerns in the aquifers adjacent to oil facilities is the leakage of LNAPLs. Since remediation processes costly and time consuming, so the first step in these systems is determining design goals. Often the most important goal of these systems is to maximize pollutant removal and minimize the cost. Identifying the thickness of LNAPL and its fluctuations can determine the type of recovery method and thus can be effective on the amount of removal and the cost of the implementation. In this study, three methods of gene expression programming (GEP), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and multivariate linear regression (MLR) were used to estimate and predict the LNAPL level. Input variables are groundwater level elevation and discharge rate of LNAPL and the output variable is the LNAPL level elevation. The results of the three models were analyzed by statistical parameters and it was determined that GEP technique has better results and could be used successfully in predicting LNAPL level fluctuations in recovery processes. Also, the GEP model provides an equation for predicting the LNAPL level that can be used in the field to predict the elevation of the LNAPL level. Manuscript profile

  Groundwater control is an important issue during underground excavation in fractured rocks. More than any other factor, the lack of groundwater control can cause costs to rise. In this study, the characteristics of the Surmeh Formation in Zimkan aquifer were analyzed using the recession curve of discharge water from the tunnel. The results show that behavior of the recession curve of discharge water from the tunnel is similar to discharge of the conduit flow system of karst springs. In the first seven days, the slope of the recession curve was high and equal to 0.041, but over time in considering to progress of tunnel excavation and 41 meters groundwater table drawdown in karstic aquifer of Surmeh Formation; the slope of the recession curve decreased and it became similar to diffuse flow system of the karstic aquifer. In the recession curve of discharge water from the Nowsud Tunnel, all three porous systems, including conduit, semi conduit and diffuse are properly identifiable in time intervals of seven, 48, and 87 days respectively. with respect to similarities in the behavior of discharge water from the tunnel with karst springs, the hydrograph of recharge water into the tunnel can be used as a discharge below the base level of the karst hydrologic system in order to assess the dynamic reserve of the upper karst aquifer (above the tunnel level).

  Bar dam has been constructed in northwest Neyshabur city, off-stream Bar river to provide the urban drinking water and Neyshabur steel factory water demand, respectively. The water balance of the Bar dam has indicated 35-70% water seepage from the dam reservoir during six trial water intakes. The significant seepage, high concentration of solutes in the leaked water, impact on water resources planning and projected allocations threaten the stability of the Bar dam. Analysis of the observation wells hydrograph indicated major water seepage from the central part of the foundation of the main dam site and minor seepage from other areas. water seepage modeling using MODFLOW software showed that 75% of the volume of the leaked water passed through the foundation of the main dam site. Furthermore, the chemical analysis of the leaked water samples indicated an increase in total dissolve solids to more than 5 to 10 times, especially in the central and left areas of the dam reservoir. The amount of the dissolved material due to water seepage from the main dam site was calculated based on the data collected from the modeling of water seepage from the dam reservoir, results of hydrochemical sampling, time series analysis of the seepage rate, and mass balance of the dam reservoir water. Finally, the effect of dissolution on the increase of porosity was investigated and based on the results,the maximum annual development of porosity in the middle part of the main dam axis was about 0.06%.
