Disturbances of Temperature-Depth Profiles by Surface Warming and Groundwater Flow Convection in Kumamoto Plain, Japan by Linyao Dong, Congsheng Fu, Jigen Liu, Yifeng Wang

“…The observed and simulated temperature-depth profiles showed the following: subsurface water flows from northeast to southwest in the study area; the combined influence of surface warming and water flow perturbation produces different temporal changes in thermal profiles in recharge, intermediate, and discharge areas; and aquifer thermal properties contribute more than hydraulic parameters to the perturbation of temperature-depth profiles. …”

Gouverner un territoire de l’eau à partir de considérations sur les savoirs liés à la production du paysage by Jacques-Aristide Perrin

“…Following a study carried out between 2014 and 2017 monitoring operations of ecological continuity in the Dordogne and Têt catchment areas, we analysed the consequences of this type of operation on landscapes and on water uses, which sometimes involve significant modifications in the case of the destruction of hydraulic works. Given how landscape issues are addressed in the implementation of this policy, its current framework does not make it possible to depart from a sector-based management approach focused on biodiversity. …”
