Review: Horizontal, directionally drilled and radial collector wells: Pozos horizontales y colectores radiales de perforación direccional

Horizontal wells play an often overlooked role in hydrogeology and aquifer remediation but can be an interesting option for many applications. This study reviews the constructional and hydraulic aspects that distinguish them from vertical wells. Flow patterns towards them are much more complicated than those for vertical wells, which makes their...

Celebración de 50 años de SWIM (Salt Water Intrusion Meetings − Reuniones sobre la Intrusión de Agua Salada)

The Salt Water Intrusion Meetings, or SWIMs, are a series of meetings that focus on seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers and other salinisation processes. 2018 marks the 50th year of the SWIM and the 25th biennial meeting. The SWIM proceedings record half a century of research progress on site characterisation, geophysical and geochemical...
