“…Tables V and VI show the mean change in GWPI when one or more layers are removed from the calculated GWPI in accordance with (10). Significant fluctuations in GWPI were observed when the rainfall having a mean variation index of 11.66% was excluded, whereas the lowest variation index of 3.88% was for land types.…”

This paper evaluated aquifer properties in a part of Southwest Bangladesh to categorize groundwater potential using catastrophe theory (CT). Satellite image, lithologic, pumping test, rainfall and groundwater monitoring data were utilized for this purpose. Lithology-based stratigraphic cross- sections confirm six vertically distributed layers, classified into aquitard composed of surface clay with silt and very fine-grained sand with thickness varying from 1 to –24.4 m, whereas the aquifer comprising fine to coarse sand with 3–67 m thick. Pre- and post-monsoon average annual groundwater levels fluctuate from in 3.12 to 3.86 m and 6.97 to 8.36 m, respectively, while average annual recharge ranges from 0.4 to 0.59 m/yr. Groundwater potential index (GWPI) values, validated with specific capacity records, classified the study area into three zones with GWPI of 0.72–0.81 (moderately good), 0.81–0.87 (good), and 0.87–0.96 (very good), covering 25.44%, 47.60%, and 26.96% of the area, respectively. Sensitivity analysis identified rainfall as the most influential and land type as the least influential factor in defining groundwater potentiality. These results can serve as a foundation for the formulation of guidelines and recommendations for the governmental and affiliated agencies for future groundwater exploration, planning, and management.

“…The mechanical properties of the existing boreholes in the study area were entered in the RockWorks software, and by the performed analysis, the soil condition under the three considered cross sections has been specified. RockWorks is an integrated software package for geological data management, analysis and visualization (Haque et al 2017).…”

Earthquake has left much life and property damages. The occurrence of such events necessitates the execution of plans for combating the earthquakes. One of the most important methods for combating earthquakes includes assessing dynamic characteristics of soil and site effect. One of the methods by which one can state dynamic characteristics of the soil of an area is the measurement of microtremors. Microtremors are small-scale vibrations that occur in the ground and have an amplitude range of about 0.1-1 microns. Microtremor measurement is fast, applicable, cost-effective. Microtremor measurements were taken at 15 stations in the Babol, north of Iran. Regarding H/V spectral ratio method, peak frequency and amplification factor were calculated for all microtremor stations. According to the analysis, the peak frequency varies from 0.67 to 8.10 Hz within the study area. Also, the authors investigated the validity of the results by comparing them with SESAME guidelines and geotechnical conditions of study area. The microtremor analysis results are consistent with SESAME guidelines and geotechnical condition of study area. The results show that the microtremor observations are acceptable methods for assessing dynamic characteristics of soil and site effect in the Babol City.

“…[ Most of the area is low lying floodplain formed by the alluvial soil. The alluvium is composed mostly of clay-silt-sand, fine sand and is gray and brown in color [6]. The country's largest surface water irrigation project-"The Ganges-Kabadak" (G-K) that supplies water flows from the Ganges is located to the south and west sides of the study area.…”

“…Several research works have been carried out by several authors in and around the study area. Groundwater potentiality were investigated in term of aquifer system [6], subsurface formation [7], hydrogeological properties [8], Geoelectrical sounding, borehole litholog and groundwater data [9]. All the previous researches were mostly focused on the overall assessment of hydrogeology of the area.…”

The study was conducted to analyze the groundwater potential zones in the Eastern part of Kushtia district. Secondary data collected from Bangladesh Agriculture Development Board Corporation (BADC) and borehole data of 119 locations have been processed, analyzed and interpreted for studying the hydrogeological properties. The sub-surface groundwater-bearing sequence of the area up to the depth of 97 m have been classified into two main hydrostratigraphic units- aquitard and aquifer, consisting of clay-silt-sand and sands of different granular respectively. The 18-30 m thick aquitard is covering a major part of the study area. The thickness of main aquifers is varying from 0.9-30 m and 27-67 m consisting of fine-medium to coarse sand. The yield potential index is 1.3-13.0. However, from the obtained results, it can be concluded that the area is suitable for groundwater potentiality.
