NANOTECHNOLOGY IN WATER PURIFICATION Introduction Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures‚ materials‚ and devices. This technology has the ability to transform many industries and to be applied in many ways to areas ranging from medicine to manufacturing. Research in nanoscale technologies is growing rapidly worldwide In the case of nanoscale materials‚ the uncertainties are great because the characteristics of nanoscle materials may be different

MAHARASHTRA DROUGHT- A MANMADE TRAGEDY BY DILIP KUMAR ROY Maharashtra experienced severe and successive years of drought in 1970-74 and 2000 – 04. One-third of Maharashtra has now been affected by drought‚ which officials and activists fear could be worse than the one in 1972‚ the worst Maharashtra has ever known. Successive dry spells in the past two years have induced severe drought in parts of Maharasthra such as Vidarbha and Marathwada‚ where availability of drinking water

Pakhtunkhwa was developed in late 1800s over a century ago. This system was designed for the farming at that time which was much lower than the cropping intensities of today. This system had limited provision for drainage‚ resulting in a rise in groundwater and the occurrence of salinity. |Table 5.1 | |Area Irrigated by Canals and Tube Wells | |Canal name |Area Hectares |% Total

then there has been no reaction meaning the liquid is saturated. 23. 24. a) Oils spills are easier to clean than TCE because it floats in water and therefore is easier to locate and clean and it doesn’t get into our groundwater. TCE‚ on the other hand‚ sinks into our groundwater and therefore more difficult to separate and clean. b) TCE can cause damage to our central nervous system and in a larger exposure causes headaches‚ dizziness‚ and confusion and in continued exposure can cause unconsciousness

The impact over a wide area of land with coastal lands now in use for factories‚ therefore converting coastal land into an industrial zone instead of tourism and recreation. Groundwater is effected if pipelines carrying seawater or brine are laid above an aquifer. The case of feed drilling can also have an effect on groundwater. In these cases the aquifer might

History Of Aspirin Aspirin is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world.. For centuries people throughout the world. Aspirin was discovered about 3500 years ago. A collection of 877 medicinal recipes‚ The Ebers papyrus‚ before Christ‚ from the middle of the second millennium had been bought during the last century from an Egyptian street vendor by Georg Ebers‚ a German Egyptologist Georg. He recommended an infusion of dried myrtle leaves for rheumatic and back pain. More than a

Water is continuously being recycled in a process called the water cycle. All living things on earth need water to survive. The water cycle has no starting point and no end point. Earth’s water is always in movement and always changing forms‚ it can go from a liquid to a solid to a gas and back to a liquid. The water cycle is how we track movement of water above‚ in and on the earth. The water cycle consists of three major processes‚ condensation‚ evaporation and precipitation. Condensation is the

it coming from the Colorado River. Because we import so much water‚ we are becoming too dependant on outside water sources‚ which needs to change if we ever want the drought to end. California has started pumping more groundwater in response to this threat‚ but over-pumping groundwater is not the solution either. In order to eliminate the importing of water‚ we need to turn to desalination‚ recycled water‚ and rainwater harvesting. Despite what many people say‚ desalination is a very good source

is pumped into these fractures to keep them ‘propped’ open after the pressures are released. The first diagram in the appendix shows what occurs in the subsurface during a typical hydraulic fracturing event. After a period of fluid recovery or groundwater extraction is when the extraction of CBM occurs. As pumping continues‚ the pressure eventually decreases so that the methane desorbs from the coal‚ flows and is extracted through the production well. The fracture created acts as a conduit in the
