CRITICAL REVIEW ON IMPACT OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE ON GROUNDWATER QUALITY Sheriff B. Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering University of Wolverhampton United Kingdom Abstract This paper critically reviewed an existing literature on impact of municipal solid waste on groundwater quality in order to identify the extent of physio-chemical and biological parameters compared to World Health standard guideline for drinking water quality. To address the aim more than ten (10)

Among those Some of the works are briefly described as follows: In the rift the localization of groundwater is strongly controlled by the rift faults. They have contrasting role in the movement and occurrence of groundwater. Most of the faults acts as conduit for groundwater flow. In contrast to the high hydraulic conductivity of the rift fractured volcanics, some faults act as barriers of groundwater flow. This is a common case in areas of structures where the faults deep against the topographic

Arsenic contamination in groundwater has become a major health problem for human being. There are many treatment methods have been developed for arsenic removal. It is important to develop a treatment method that is economical and accessible for people who live in rural areas and cannot afford the expensive treatment methods. Due to its several advantages, such as low cost and maintenance, electrocoagulation is one of the promising methods that can be used for arsenic treatment. In this study, we

Groundwater Pollution with Chlorinated Ethenes Groundwater is water that is located underground between soil particles and in holes, or pores, in the bedrock ("Groundwater," 2011). Because earth has 80 times more groundwater than all the freshwater stored in lakes and streams combined ("Groundwater," 2011), its health has a large influence on the environment. Groundwater also has a large impact on humans; groundwater accounts for about 20% of water used in the US and almost half of water used

Groundwater regulations California is sinking!,groundwater bill regulations are making it through the state legislature.This bill will require local agencies to track or even restrict groundwater pumping.Farmers are against this regulations,they fell is a violation of their land rights(source3).although california does need and should have regulations for groundwater. We really need regulations for groundwater in california,we are sinking,california is sinking! Aquifers had dropped 100 feet

soil and end up in the groundwater. Wildlife can also be harmed by contaminated groundwater. Over 50% of the United States population depends on groundwater for drinking water. It can be related to waste disposal, land disposal of solid waste and brine disposal from the petroleum industry. To begin waste disposal, is removing and destroying or storing damaged unwanted domestic. Disposal includes burning, burial at landfill sites, and recycling. Trash cans, can affect groundwater quality, especially

High Resolution Groundwater Prospect Mapping of Raichur, Karnataka Using Remote Sensing & GIS Joseph T. Koottiyaniyil1, Pankaj Dhote2 & Dr. S. K. Srivastav3 1P. G.

Abstract: Occurrence of groundwater in the basement complex of Raichur, Karnataka is controlled by secondary porosity developed through weathering and

Back then, people used to think that we had an unlimited amount of groundwater in our aquifers, and we used to pump groundwater at insane rates. We were unaware of the unintended consequences we were causing by draining this much water. In the 1930s farmers noticed the ground had begun sinking. But by the late 1970’s the ground had sunk by 30 feet. Now we know how pumping groundwater can cause environmental changes. We realize our aquifers are running out of water. Now we are doing everything we

south to north groundwater flow and replenishment from the recharge areas in the south. The NE-SW trending Pelusium mega shear cuts the Precambrian rocks and continues upward in the sedimentary cover; it formed deep structural controlled basins along its zone, which were filled by high thick sediments of relatively high hydraulic conductivities extending from the Kufra Basin in Libya and Chad to the northern part of Dakhla Basin in Egypt. This zone could provide a preferred groundwater flow pathway

water will be exhausted in the Kansas High Plains aquifer in 50 years” (Kansas Water Resources Board). Groundwater is available to help support agricultural production and is a reliable guarantee, but with continual depletion of the aquifers there would be a threat to the future of sustainable water resources. The High Plains aquifer provides the United States with 30 percent of irrigated groundwater, where the high plains of Kansas’s aquifers occupy an important share. Kansas State University, Department
