of the city of Olean and west and northwest of the towns of Olean and Portville in Cattaraugus County, New York. Superfund Site Identification Number: NYD980528657 Operable Unit 02 and Operable Unit 03 The site is characterized by contaminated groundwater encompassing an area approximately 800 acres underlying the city of Olean, the Town of Olean and the Town of Portville, and by contaminated soil at certain locations in the city and town of Olean. The site is approximately 65 miles southeast of

INTRODUCTION Site Name, Location and Description The Fruit Avenue Plume (FAP) Superfund site (Site) is identified on the National Priorities List (NPL) as a chlorinated solvent groundwater plume, located in the downtown area of Albuquerque, New Mexico (Figure 1). The site originally consisted of a groundwater-contaminant plume, spanning multiple aquifer zones up to 544 feet deep; it was approximately 3,500 feet long and ranged in width from 550 to 1,300 feet. The geographic coordinates for

user of groundwater for irrigation in the world. India has around 432 cubic kilometres of annual replenishable groundwater re-sources. With a net annual groundwater availability of 399 cubic kilometres, the net withdrawals in 2004 amounted to 58% of the net annually available resource .The drawn amount of groundwater is estimated to be 210 billion cubic meters per year compared to 105 billion cubic meters in China and 100 billion cubic meters in US. Indian agriculture is sustained by groundwater. According

1.1 Introduction Groundwater is in contact with surface water. However, traditionally, groundwater and surface water used to be considered as separate water resources (Winter, 1998). Because of that, management of groundwater and surface water resources poses a risk of allocating the same water twice in the water budget (Geosciences Australia, 2013). Not only two resources are in close contact rather they do interact. So, Winter (1998) considered groundwater and surface water as a single resource

Water is a vital resource for human development; its natural mode of occurrence is governed by climatic, geomorphic and geologic characteristics of the land surface. Water resources is a major requirement and driver of socio-economic development. Economic sectors that water caters to include domestic, agriculture and fisheries, industry, recreation, municipality, including waste/effluent disposal, and water transportation. It also plays a prominent role in power and energy generation (Oyebande.,

to reach the water level in underground aquifers. Currently, the state consumes two million-acre feet more than is replenished annually (SWRCB, 2012). The general problem is that many groundwater wells do not have flow measurement. The specific problem is that unregulated flow measurement on Californian groundwater wells allows for underground aquifers to be emptied at an unsustainable rate. Background For many farmers without riparian or senior water rights, the only option to get water is through

California did pass groundwater regulations, that means that farmers would have to evenly distribute water or lose a lot of their crops and that would be bad because then farmers would not produce as many crops, that means less revenue for California. That is why so many farmers are against the groundwater regulations. Even though all of these people are against the groundwater regulations, they have to think of the long term effect of pumping groundwater. If we were to keep pumping groundwater, we would

Results & Discussion: In the article, Shallow Groundwater Conveyance of Geologically Derived Contaminants to Urban Creeks in Southern California, high levels of Aqueous sulfate, TDS, and trace contaminants have been found in springs and weeps in the Capistrano Formation in Orange County. The sulfate found in these water sources comes from various places. Sulfur-bearing minerals such as pyrite, jarosite, and gypsum are some of the contributors to the high amounts of sulfate. However, a study of the

will be on direct pollution of fracking. The subject of this abstract is the evaluation of different aspects of fracking; water withdrawal, chemical mixing, well injection, produced waters and wastewater in terms of their effect on surface and groundwaters. Water withdrawal In the process of extracting shale gases, in the stages of drilling and fracturing a large volume of water is required. A study Marcellus Shale, and Barnett shale in the U.S was aimed to see how water withdrawal during fracking

Your discussion should include, at a minimum, a description of the Rule, the implications of the Rule for groundwater protection, and the evolution and status of the Rule in Texas and California. (About one page; 50 points). 1. Rule of capture: Is common law from England that is being used by a number U.S. jurisdictions. It establishes a rule of non-liability
