Short summary
A new criterion (χi) is proposed to estimate representative elementary volume (REV) of a translucent material based on light transmission techniques. This study is essential for quantitative investigation of the scale effect of porous media and contaminant transformation. The fluid and contaminant migration and transform in porous media can be simulated accurately according to the REV estimation results using the light transmission technique and the appropriate criterion χi.

We proposed a novel many-objective simulation-optimization framework for conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater in Yanqi Basin, northwest China. The management model involving socioeconomic and environmental objectives was constructed to explore optimal water-use schemes. Three runoff scenarios were then specified to quantify the effect of runoff reduction related to climate change on water management. Results provide Pareto-optimal solutions for basin-scale water management.

Groundwater pumping can cause severe land subsidence and decrease ground surface level. A physical model test were conducted to mimic this process. An interesting phenomenon is that, due to their low permeability, aquitard units may expand in a period when groundwater is withdrawn from the neighboring aquifer units, and they may compact when groundwater is recharged into the neighbor aquifer units.

In this study, a multivariate nonstationary risk analysis of annual extreme rainfall events, extracted from daily precipitation data observed at six meteorological stations in Haihe River basin, China, was done in three phases: (1) Several statistical tests, were applied to both the marginal distributions and the dependence structures to decipher different forms of nonstationarity; (2) Time-dependent copulas were adopted to model the distribution structure.

Short summary
Fractal models of regular triangle arrangement (RTA) and square pitch arrangement (SPA) are developed in this study. Results suggest RTA can cause more groundwater contamination and make remediation more difficult. In contrast, the cleanup of contaminants in aquifers with SPA is easier. This study demonstrates how microscale arrangements control contaminant migration and remediation, which is helpful in designing successful remediation schemes for subsurface contamination.

In this work we present a brief description of land subsidence in coastal cities, such as Nantong, Yancheng, and Lian Yungang, in Jiangsu Province. We examine the mechanisms of land subsidence induced mainly by groundwater pumping and its evolution and economic implications as well as the implemented measures by the local government to prevent new damage.
