This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years at global level, much attention has been paid to the chemical composition of groundwater in rural areas because it revealed that there is a possibility of causal link between the geochemical environment and the groundwater quality. The rural areas may also pose major groundwater contamination problems by imigation and subsurface geological formations. The groundwater is used as direct use in rural water supply without proper treatment for drinking and agricultural practices. However, no detailed studies have been carried out in the rural area of Vaippar River Basin of Tamil Nadu, India with respect to drinking and irrigational purposes so far. The present study was carried out to assess groundwater quality of Nichabanadhi-Kalingalar sub-basin of Vaippar River Basin Agriculture is the main occupation of the people in the study area. Both irrigation and drinking water supplies in the study area rely, mostly on groundwater. The area is mostly covered with agricultural land and there may be a causal link between the groundwater contamination and imigational activities. This concern has also been considered for this study. Preliminary field investigation studies were carried out for capturing well inventory data and identifying topography of the study area. All the required thematic maps were prepared using ArcGIS software. The GIS and Remote Sensing techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features and analyzing other properties of the study area. The morphometric parameters such as linear, aerial and relief aspects of the sub-basin were determined and computed. The morphometric analysis reveals.

This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hydrogeological aspect of groundwater science is universal and applied in nature to have a sustainable water resource development with social, economic, ecological, cultural and aesthetic background. Since 99% of the world's fresh available water is groundwater; yet, the majority of financial resources are directed to surface water found in rivers and lakes. This serious imbalance requires urgent redress. This volume is addresses the issue to facilitate the joint analysis of groundwater management studies and problems faced by scientist, engineers, managers and other scholars from natural and applied sciences. Significant financial support is required for basic groundwater research if sustainable development is to be a realistic goal. As a fresh water resource, groundwater has major advantages over surface water. This is the basic idea that explicitly appears in almost all paper of this book. The authors have tried to focus their task on those topics that seemed to us more urgent and relevant and have paid much attention to questions related to management of aquifers, groundwater pollution, the long-term problems and the key issues in developing countries, where majority of world population live and where at present enormous groundwater abstraction occurs. We (editors) have dissipated proper information in a systematic scientific manner to make the concept of groundwater management and sustainability understandable to everyone, through this book. The book provides a platform to bring together earth scientists, professionals from chemical and engineering science disciplines, public health professionals and social scientists involved with the management and development of groundwater resources. The book is expected to reflect the current understanding of all the issues related to management of groundwater resources and their sustainable use.
Download or read book Quality Assessment and Geochemical Processes of Groundwater in Singipuram River Basin of Salem District Tamil Nadu India written by A. Solai and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundwater is an important source of water supply throughout the world. It is very essential for irrigation industries and domestic purposes. It is a good source of freshwater available on the earth. It is an important renewable resource having several inherent advantages over surface water. Its wide distribution, negligible evaporation loss and low risk of contamination are considered as important qualities. Fifty-seven groundwater samples were collected from the Singipuram river basin of Salem district from shallow bore wells and open wells to maintain uniformity, to asses the quality and its suitability for domestic and irrigation purposes. Geologically, charnockites and gneisses constitute the country rocks of the study area. The weathering of host rocks and agricultural activities play an important role in modifying the chemistry of groundwater. The quality of the groundwater in the southern part of the area is far from satisfactory and needs careful management. Five broad types have been identified, which are Ca-Cl, Ca-Na-Cl, Ca-Na-HCO3, Ca-Na-HCO3-Cl and Na-HCO3-Cl. The salinity of Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) and permeability index indicate that most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation.
Download or read book Groundwater Quality Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) Seepage Basins are located in the northeastern section of the 700 Area at the Savannah River Site. Currently the four basins are out of service and are awaiting closure in accordance with the Consent Decree settled under Civil Act No. 1:85-2583. Groundwater monitoring data from the detection monitoring network around the SRL Basins was recently analyzed using South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations R.61-79.264.92 methods to determine if groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the SRL Basins had been impacted. Results from the data analysis indicate that the groundwater has been impacted by both volatile organic constituents (VOCs) and inorganic constituents. The VOCs, specifically trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, are currently being addressed under the auspices of the SRS Hazardous Waste Permit Application (Volume III, Section J.6.3). The impacts resulting from elevated levels of inorganic constituent, such as barium, calcium, and zinc in the water table, do not pose a threat to human health and the environment. In order to determine if vertical migration of the inorganic constituents has occurred three detection monitoring wells are proposed for installation in the upper portion of the Congaree Aquifer.
Download or read book Contaminant Levels and Ecological Effects written by Biljana Balabanova and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uses chemometric mathematical modelling approaches to investigate geographic areas at risk of ecological degradation due to pollution. While most analytical approaches in environmental research involve sophisticated and sensitive instrumental techniques, this book employs chemometric techniques to create a corresponding data matrix to extract accurate and realistic environmental information in areas vulnerable to and affected by hazardous substances. The text offers case studies to establish a general framework of the opportunities, advantages, weaknesses and challenges of these mathematical approaches, and provides a chemometric model of each focus area to assess the long-distance distribution of pollutants. The case studies highlight the potential use of novel chemometric models for mitigating and preventing environmental pollution and ecological risks, while also providing reviews of the current status and developments in chemometric analysis of environmental pollution. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in environmental and agricultural chemistry, environmental pollution modelling and ecological degradation.
