One of the things students tested in the creek was the chemical composition. We were testing for eutrophication and acid rain pollution. As was aforementioned, eutrophication is extra nutrients in the water. It comes from runoff from the land through the form of overfertilization and sewage treatment plants. The tests performed to test for eutrophication were nitrate and phosphate tests. The phosphate and nitrate tests were conducted by filling a cup with water and breaking the tip of an ampule so it would fill with water. The liquid in the ampule would change color based on the amount of phosphate or nitrate in the water. Phosphate is a salt or ester of phosphoric acid containing PO43− or a related anion or a group such as —OPO(OH)2 in fertilizers and sewage treatment plants. Either or both of those two things could have runoff from the land and drained into the creek. They are negative to the creek. Our results showed that the creek

The water in urban wellfields is contaminated with saltwater since the water flow had changed direction. The water also contains high levels of nutrients (particularly phosphorous) because of runoff from the developed areas.

Measure and map the quantity and quality of groundwater and surface/groundwater interactions, to determine both the short and long-term sustainable yield of non-saline groundwater in the Lower Athabasca’s groundwater management areas. Set legal requirements to implement and enforce the sustainable yield of

The Denver Basin aquifer system is a noteworthy wellspring of water for South Metro Denver. The framework stretches out from Colorado Springs in the south to Greeley in the north, from the foothills close Golden in the west toward the eastern fields close Limon, a surface region of around 6,700 square miles. It incorporates four aquifers: the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills. Every aquifer has diverse water quality, profundities, and water accessibility (CFWE, 2002).

Farmers have taken the initiative and pursuing innovative management and treatment techniques and adapting by studying salt-tolerant crops. The cities are also educating residents about their role in the problem and what they can do to reduce the amount of salt they contribute to the water. As the population grows, it will always be a pending thought if the new residents will worsen the problem or help create a solution to it. The Central Valley Water Board and others are working

Water is one of the most affected resources in the region due to mining operations as mass mining extractions are having detrimental effects on surface and ground water (Cereceda, 2007). First, there is the problem of Acid Mine Drainage, or AMD. Naturally, sulphuric acid is produced when sulphides in rocks are exposed to water and air. AMD, however, is a result of this process being greatly magnified. Large quantities of rocks containing sulphides are excavated in these open pit mines, reacting to water and air and creating sulphuric acid. This acid leaches out of the rock, sometimes for

Table 1 shows that it took .2 ml of salt to change the Soil Salinity of 300 ml of soil from .3 mmhos/cm to 1 mmhos/cm. From 1 mmhos/cm it took .3 ml of NaCl to increase the Soil Salinity to 2 mmhos/cm.From 2 mmhos/cm it took .3 ml of NaCl to increase the Soil Salinity to 3 mmhos/cm. Graph 1 corresponds to Table 1, displaying the increase in Soil Salinity for amount of NaCl added. This data was collected to know how much salt to add for the main part of experiment. The data in Table 1 and Graph 1 was taken without the consideration of significant figures.

The 1KB14 catchment with steep slope showed higher T values than the gentle slope 1KB4 catchment. However, no significant relation was found between the elevations of individual wells location and T derived from pump test of wells. The higher T estimates derived from the small-scale measurement could either infer high heterogeneity of aquifer within the valley specifically, 1KB17 catchment, difficulty of measurement technique, and limited number of measurements.

Ground water forms a large percent of all the used water on the earth. And as it cannot be seen, it is usually overlooked or ignore when considering all the water on the earth. Since aquifer is valuable source, protecting it form pollution and managing its use carefully will guarantee its future as an important part of eco-system and human activity. Recently, industrial applications of toxic heavy metals have caused dangerous environmental problems. This essay will show the effect of aquifer polluted by some contaminants such as Cr (III), Fe(III), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) or radioactive materials on people, plants and animals. In addition, it will demonstrate the best treatment and preventative methods. Furthermore, it will argue that the pretreatment of industrial wastes is the best way to prevent the pollution in ground water.

In addition to the geological developments described above, the aquifer area also comprises the upper Nile Platform in Egypt, as well as the Northern Sudan Platform in Sudan. These are, however, areas of minor importance for groundwater resources. The NSAS changes gradually from continental sandy facies in the southern regions, to intercalations of sandstones and clays of alternating continental and shallow marine facies in the central regions, to mainly marine facies in the

Samples were then analyzed within one week from the time of collection. Water samples collected were subjected to: Fig.1 United Arab

The sedimentary cover shows a northward increase from less than 0.5 km in northern Sudan and southern Egypt to more than 6 km at the Mediterranean coast. The sediments thickness shows a shallowing of the basement rocks along the east-west trending Uweinat-Aswan basement uplift which may impede the south to north groundwater flow and replenishment from the recharge areas in the south.

Groundwater supplies and surface water supplies outside of the local catchment area are commonly used when the local surface water supply is insufficient. Increasing levels of groundwater exploitation can significantly decrease groundwater levels, leading to several environmental problems. An example is what’s been occurring in the North China Plain, where the mean depth to water changed from 7.23 m in 1983 to 11.52 m in 1993, characterizing a decrease of approximately 0.5 m per year (Changming et al, 2001). Groundwater table drops at those rates can severely impact the environment. Groundwater depletion can lead to the formation of depression cones, which can often cause land subsidence. Water level drops in coastal areas result in intrusion of seawater, deteriorating the water quality. And, in urban centres and surroundings, water resources are threatened by untreated urban and industrial wastewater discharge.

Drilled wells in this aquifer on the Shashemene sub-sheet were observed groundwater at a depth of 10–80 m with discharge of 2.7 to 8.3 l/s for the wells. There are also some shallow wells and dug wells taping the shallow groundwater.

From this analysis we come to know the behavior of the area and we get information about tectonic control of the area so in this article we have calculated Mountain fronts synosity index, valley floor width to height ratio and Drainage Basin Asymmetry for Mula river Basin of the study area.
