Background Storage and pumping of jet-fuel have caused a severe contamination of soil and groundwater at a military facility in Denmark. The contamination was detected in 2001. ...
The water source is a newly built groundwater well, a vital source for the region’s domestic water supply. Due to geological conditions, the local groundwater generally suffers from high calcium and magnesium ion content and excessive hardness. ...
INTRODUCTION Environmental Material Science ("LiORA") provides a new generation of Internet of Things (loT) enabled non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) water sensors that provide high-resolution quantification of groundwater (GW) petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) concentrations. The current generation water sensor transmits data at 30-minute intervals using a 4-channel pyroelectric NDIR detector, along ...

The Well Redundancy Problem Every groundwater monitoring network includes wells that cost money but provide no commensurate value. ...

Texas is no stranger to water quality challenges, especially in rural and groundwater-reliant areas. Among the most common issues is elevated iron levels in water. While small amounts of iron are naturally occurring and even essential in our diets, excessive iron in drinking water can cause staining, metallic taste, plumbing damage, and even health concerns in vulnerable individuals. If ...
Loggers in these wells supplement devices monitoring pool levels in each basin, flow rates in the canal and stilling wells. ...
MBAS used Confience's Sample Master LIMS to comply with AG order 4.0 by testing more than 3000 wells in 2023, monitoring groundwater for inorganic substances. This was a significant increase from previous years, with increased complexity of reporting. ...
Redundant for over a decade, the site had previously been used to store petroleum products and there were multiple groundwater monitoring wells containing LNAPL. In addition, the site’s position meant the thickness and elevation of LNAPL was affected by the tide of the estuary, so it was difficult to determine the quantity of free product. ...
The textbook approach to new or legacy spills is to ensure that you have a vertical and horizontal delineation of the pollutants. This understanding of how deep and wide your pollutant has travelled is essential before you can begin any remediation, restoration, or reclamation process. The rationale for this approach is that we should not begin a remediation process until we have enough ...

30 years of data show salinity of groundwater increasing even far from coasts After 30 years of monitoring wells, the latest U.S. ...
While they serve the immediate purpose of waste containment, they come with a host of environmental and social issues:Environmental Contamination: Landfills can contaminate soil, groundwater, and air through the release of toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases. ...
These sensors can be deployed in various water sources, including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater wells. Real-Time Monitoring and Early Warning Systems: One of the significant advantages of water quality sensors is their ability to provide real-time monitoring of water parameters. ...
Challenge When Andrew Peters left the oil industry for groundwater testing in 2019, he noticed well testing–especially time-consuming tests like flow tests–often involved a lot of effort for very little data. ...
Within the PFAS-contaminated groundwater unit, air is injected into a groundwater well which causes the PFAS to foam and accumulate on the groundwater surface, where it is removed under vacuum. ...

Recycling wastewater can save money and help the environment Historically, water recycling has been restrained because of seemingly limitless surface and groundwater resources as well as psychological factors. However, now that all sectors are confronting hard limits on traditional sources, water recycling is getting a second look, and many have concluded that ...
What is sonic drilling? Sonic drilling is a technique that significantly reduces friction on the drill string and drill bit by using energy resonance to affect the soil structure where it contacts the drill string. This combination makes penetrating for a large range of soils much easier. Sonic drilling is most often used when the drilling is difficult and the integrity of the core sample is ...
Some say the resources there are rich, and just need better management and treatment Africa is one of the world’s driest continents. Many rural Africans have subpar drinking water and sanitation. By 2030, high water stress is likely to displace as many as 700 million people. So, why are the British Geological Survey (BGS), WaterAid, and other researchers painting an entirely different ...
The plant uses five (5) groundwater supply wells that are blended to produce finished water below the MAC for nitrate. ...
Water resources underpin every aspect of modern society and without them everything would eventually grind to a halt… including whisky distilling! In fact, the industry is very water intensive, with water one of the three essentials necessary to facilitate the process, alongside malted barley and yeast. The word ‘whisky’ actually comes from the Gaelic uisge beatha, which means ...
