atmosphere‚ lithosphere and hydrosphere. Water is stored in the following reservoirs: atmosphere‚ oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ glaciers‚ soils‚ snowfields‚ and groundwater. It moves from one reservoir to another by processes like: evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ deposition‚ runoff‚ infiltration‚ sublimation‚ transpiration‚ and groundwater flow. Water is stored in the atmosphere in all three states of matter. Water vapour in the atmosphere is commonly referred to as humidity. If liquid and solid

Superfund Site Tar Creek is considered one of the biggest environmental disasters in the history of the United States. This disaster was created from lead and zinc mining in Northeast Oklahoma. Lead and zinc leftover in chat piles would seep into groundwater‚ ponds‚ and lakes contaminating almost all water in the area. The people from small towns in the area such as Cardin and Picher are at high risk for lead poisoning‚ which can have long term health effects. Tar Creek has been pinpointed as the

noted that groundwater contamination is concentrated in the southern portion of the property (near the Passaic River). A groundwater extraction system has been in operation since June 1998 to control off-site migration of shallow groundwater to the Passaic River and remove contaminant mass. Once the extracted groundwater is treated to acceptable levels‚ it is put back into the ground on-site. (Inmont Corporation.2015). In addition‚ Inmont will continue to operate and maintain the groundwater treatment

Sustainable and Unsustainable development Sustainable Development Concept Sustainable development is a pattern of social and structured economic transformations (i.e. development) which optimizes the economic and societal benefits available in the present‚ without jeopardizing the likely potential for similar benefits in the future. A primary goal of sustainable development is to achieve a reasonable and equitably distributed level of economic well-being that can be perpetuated continually for

personal opinion on the impact of salinity within Chowilla region. The information was relevant as it expressed the personal opinion and the observation of the person. What is salinity? Salinity occurs when salty groundwater is close to the soil surface. Generally when the groundwater table is within two meters of the soil surface‚ usually close to the root zone. Air pores within the unsaturated zones act as sponges drawing up the salty water to the soil surface; this is known as capillary rise

follow : Regulation Wetlands are important regulators of water quantity and water quality. Several types of wetlands are known to act as hydrological buffers‚ reducing peak flood flows and volumes through retention of water in surface and groundwater storage‚ and reducing the risks of flood damage downstream. Maintenance of natural hydrological buffering capacity also provides for greater reliability of in stream flows during dry periods - this can be extremely important for people who are reliant

in almost all the areas except few spots because of either suspected or controversial lithological characteristics. Although groundwater in Bangladesh is said to be abundant‚ a considerable areas of the country faces scarcity of groundwater within suction limit in the dry season. Due to the setting up tubewells in unplanned manner and over-exploitation of groundwater for irrigation purposes‚ the water level declines‚ rendering thousands of suction modes of shallow tube wells and deep-set hand

GUJARAT” ABSTRACT Though groundwater is an important source of irrigation in India‚ its availability is non-uniform in space and time. In Saurashtra region of Gujarat state‚ problem of groundwater depletion has arisen due to high withdrawal than rate of replenishment of groundwater. This also resulted in seawater intrusion in coastal areas at very high rate. The water harvesting and groundwater recharge activities played an important role in increasing the groundwater resource and also improved
