Transformation between phreatic water and soil water during freeze–thaw periods
(MDPI, 2018)
During freeze–thaw periods, the exchange between shallow groundwater and soil water is
unusually strong and bidirectional, which causes soil salinization and affects the accuracy of water
resources assessment. The ...
Quantitative study on the changes of Karst groundwater level and hydrochemistry in Jinci spring catchment, Shanxi, China
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Since Jinci spring ceased to flow on April 30, 1994, it has never been reflowed, which seriously affects the sustainable utilization of karst groundwater. The purpose of this paper is to provide the basis for the reflow ...
