Investigating the role of hydromechanical coupling in shallow, fractured rock aquifers
Aquifers hosted in fractured crystalline rocks are generally characterized by low porosity and strongly heterogeneous and anisotropic flow paths, with flow and transport dominated by discrete fracture sets. In general, zones of high hydraulic conductivity correlate with zones of high fracture intens...
