As climate change intensifies and reaches a point of no return, a lot of changes have been seen in how people have to live their lives, some of which are more obviously connected than others. The increase in extreme weather phenomena, droughts, flash flooding and soaring temperatures are more obvious ways in which climate change affects water security, but there are also problems underneath that ...
Without highly-accurate measurements, the extent and location of the contamination remains a mystery until water is pumped above ground. AcuVac follows a process called Mobile Dual Phase Extraction (MDPE), using a powerful vacuum to draw contaminants into one consolidated location before pumping the contamination layer up to the surface for treatment. MDPE is ...
Severe droughts are becoming common throughout the region, leading to aquifer over-pumping for agricultural, industrial, and urban purposes. ...
Seawater is rapidly intruding into coastal aquifers, but alternative water sources can slow its progress On the East Coast of the United States, seawater is creeping inland, contaminating fresh water in underground aquifers. ...
Of the 21 aquifers he studied, 13 are currently being pumped at or below the maximum sustainable production levels, however, groundwater conservation districts are projecting to use twice as much groundwater in 2070 than can be sustainably used, reducing the number of sustainably pumped aquifers from 13 to five. In other words, ...
Client: Cumulative Environmental Management Association (CEMA), Ms. Katherine Duffett, 9914 Morrison Street, Suite 214 Fort McMurray, AB T9H 4A4 Jon Paul Jones, Ph.D., Senior Water Resources Modeller, Suncor Energy Inc. 150 – 6th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3E3 Tel: 403-296-8128 [email protected] Key Personnel: Dirk Kassenaar, E.J. Wexler, Earthfx Inc. ...
Findings may be used to guide water management decisions, such as adoption of water reuse When water is pumped from aquifers, it can be replaced either naturally or artificially through groundwater recharge. ...
This project is next to the Mississippi river, and required a large volume of groundwater to be pumped. THE SOLUTION A temporary dewatering and depressurization system was required for the excavation to proceed in a safe and efficient manner. ...
California’s $50 billion agriculture industry has been depleting groundwater from aquifers for a century. Farmers have pumped 120 million acre-feet of water from under the Central Valley alone. Once depleted, aquifers begin to collapse, and when the ground above them sinks, aquifer capacity is diminished. Near coastlines, ...
While the study encompassed most of the continental U.S., it focused on the effects of groundwater pumping in the Colorado and Mississippi river basins. Condon and co-author Reed Maxwell, from the Colorado School of Mines, used computer modeling to glimpse what U.S. surface water would have looked like had aquifers not been overdrawn. They then compared the ...
Phytoremediation is the method by which trees are used to pull contamination out of groundwater. Remediation of contaminated aquifers can take many years to complete. The need for clean, healthy rivers, lakes and streams has stimulated research to develop more efficient, cost-effective solutions of removing pollution from aquifers. ...
Because farmers and cities can now pump from deep aquifers and pipe in water from distant sources, in a New York Times article, author Richard Parker asked, “If we don’t think we need the Rio Grande for its water, are we willing to save it for its own ...
Satellite data is used to minutely track ground levels In California each year, massive groundwater withdrawals for agriculture, industry, and public use lead to aquifer compaction as groundwater becomes depleted. But in the rainy season, the ground again swells upward as aquifers recharge with stormwater and snowmelt runoff. ...
The City of Newberg’s Operations Division operated and maintains the water and wastewater treatment plants, aquifer water supple, three reservoirs, numerous springs, pump stations and a recycled water system for the municipal golf course. Newberg operates a sand and gravel aquifer just south of the Willamette River. The “raw” ...
Most mines also stretch below the water table, so mines are dewatered by pumping out the aquifer during and after mine operation. Once operations stop, the cessation of pumping results in flooding of open pits and underground spaces as the water table rises again. Continued pumping and treatment after operation is considered ...

In a recent study, researchers used satellite data to establish a link between excessive pumping from California aquifers and dangerous arsenic concentration spikes in the groundwater of the Tulare Basin. ...
The computationally expensive variable density and salt transport numerical models hinder the implementation of simulation-optimization routines for coastal aquifer management. To reduce the computational cost, surrogate models have been utilized in pumping optimization of coastal aquifers. ...
Other water seeps underground into aquifers. Pumping too much water out of an aquifer before it can be naturally replenished can overdraft the groundwater, causing wells to run dry. ...
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the potential impact of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and pumping scenarios on groundwater level by a three-dimensional groundwater model of the Nile Delta using MODFLOW software. ...
