“…14). This might be the situation found by Viklander and Eigenbrod (2000) during a phase of their C-1 experiment. Freezing of the soil to deeper levels will heave the sediment further creating increasingly larger ice lenses with depth (O'Neill and Miller, 1985), provided there is sufficient moisture, now taking the stone with it up and leaving an open space beneath.…”

Although many of the above studies have tried to explain the stone rise, the full mechanism is still unknown.…”

“…It is unclear why this "standard behaviour" occurred in relatively dry soil because, according to Washburn (1979, p. 86) and Anderson (1988), the greatest stone heave is confined to wet places. However, according to Viklander (1998) and Viklander and Eigenbrod (2000) the highest heave is achieved in soil with the optimum water content, and Pissart et al (1981, p. 139) found that "the displacement of stones is all the more considerable when the ground is dry and the surface material is coarse" (originally in French). In our experiment the lowering of objects and soil took place when the moisture content became higher, probably partly in response to soil consolidation (cf.…”

“…Sediments eventually reach a residual void ratio after a certain number of freeze-thaw cycles regardless of the initial void ratio (Viklander, 1998b). In addition, freeze-thaw cycles enhance particle segregation (Viklander, 1998a;Viklander and Eigenbrod, 2000).…”

The increasing energy demand, the mismatch between generation and load, and the growing use of renewable energy accentuate the need for energy storage. In this context, energy geo-storage provides various alternatives, the use of which depends on the quality of surplus energy. In terms of power and energy capacity, large mechanical energy storage systems such as Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) and Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) are cost-effective and suitable for centralized power generation. In contrast, sensible and latent heat storage are appropriate for distributed applications when excess heat is involved. Energy density estimations highlight the advantages of compressed air over elevated water, and latent heat over sensible heat storage. From a geotechnical standpoint, the operation of geo-storage systems exerts complex effective stress, temperature, wet-dry, and freeze-thaw cycles. Although these excitations may not cause monotonic failure, they lead to ratcheting or shakedown behavior, both of which must be carefully analyzed to ensure the proper long-term cyclic response of energy geo-storage systems.

“…Freeze/thaw and associated stone movements may cause an increase in permeability, which can lead to contamination of soils and groundwater if used as soil liners in landfill as the Great Lakes area experience freeze/thaw during winter (Viklander and Eigenbrod 2000). Groundwater can also be contaminated by salt used for road de-icing in winter.…”

Groundwater Demand Management in the Great Lakes Basin—Directions for New Policies

Demand-side management should be used to maximize the efficiency of groundwater use. Implementation of conservation measures would decrease the volume of water use and also exert less pressure on the water distribution system as well as the wastewater treatment system. Allocation of ground water in the Great Lakes basin must conform to priorities established at the community level. Groundwater pricing should reflect the full costs arising from ground water use. A differential pricing structure would help conserve water in the residential and industrial sectors. A user-friendly database on ground water use, quality and quantity for the entire Great Lakes basin is also essential. New policies for sustainable groundwater allocation, regulating water prices for water conservation, conservation education, pollution prevention, recycling and reuse of water as well as effective information management provide new directions for managing the groundwater demand in the Great Lakes basin.
