In central Tunisia, anthropic activities, such as groundwater abstraction for irrigation, have resulted in excessive groundwater level declines of the Mio-Plio-Quaternary aquifer hosted in Kairouan Plain. Besides, the two dams El Houareb and Sidi Saad?s ...

Mud volcanoes and other fluid seepage pathways usually transport sufficient gas for the formation of gas reservoirs and are beneficial to the accumulation of gas hydrate. On the other hand, the fluid thermal effects of mud volcanoes can constrain the occ...
