Hydrological Processes of Interaction Between Surface Water And Groundwater – A Review
Keywords:
Groundwater recharge, groundwater discharge, surface water–groundwater interaction, surface water-groundwater assessment.
Abstract
The hydrological processes and factors involved in the interaction between surface water and groundwater are reviewed in this paper. Emphasis is placed on stream – groundwater interaction, as this is a common image of the interaction of surface water and groundwater. Different methods of assessing surface water – groundwater interactions are reviewed with the aim of providing insight into the scope of the studies and environmental problems associated with surface water – groundwater interaction. Problems that may be associated with the neglect of the nature of interaction are recognized and identification of where there is need for research made, with the aim of giving signals to where more understanding of hydrological processes on the basis of surface water – groundwater interaction are needed.
