Abstract

Groundwater aquifers are the main source of water for billions of people living in arid and semi-arid regions. Major changes in rainfall, groundwater pumping and feeding, and severe soil erosion, floods, and droughts are among the most noticeable consequences of climate change. All this complicates the challenge of conserving groundwater resources for the foreseeable future. These scenarios highlight the need to rethink current strategies for groundwater studies. This paper deals with the application of finite elements in groundwater studies. This paper analyzed Web of Science data using Biblioshiny - a powerful bibliometric analysis tool based on R software. The study shows that the Quebec National University of Scientific Research and the Indian Institute of Technology are the most active research centers on the use of finite elements in groundwater studies, and China, America, Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Great Britain, and Iran are the leading countries in this field. Are. This distribution reflects the worldwide interest and participation in research related to the application of finite elements to groundwater problems. Based on this research, the current popular topics in the world regarding the application of the finite element method in groundwater studies are: "seepage", "deformation" and "stability analysis". The present study not only highlights the relationship between collaborations and scientific advances and trends in scientific collaboration but also serves as a model to show new research directions in the field of finite element applications in groundwater.
