Polyurethane-Degrading Potential of Alkaline Groundwater Bacteria

Microbial Ecology, 2023
Plastic waste is a global environmental burden and long-lasting plastic polymers, including ubiquitous and toxic polyurethanes (PUs), rapidly accumulate in the water environments. In this study, samples were collected from the three alkaline groundwater occurrences in the geotectonic regions of the Pannonian basin of northern Serbia (Torda and ...

Energy potential of Irish groundwaters

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology, 1986
Summary The energy potential of Irish groundwater is assessed, and its sources summarized. The two sources of energy, solar and geothermal, are outlined. The manner in which water and energy are united is described. The recovery of energy may be from the warm springs areas, from the tepid springs areas or from the high yielding cold aquifers ...

Streaming potential and groundwater contamination

Exploration Geophysics, 2004
Measurements of streaming potential can provide a means for the detection and quantification of contaminants in groundwater prior to remediation. However, laboratory determinations of specific electrolyte properties are required for an adequate analysis of the hydraulic gradient in complex situations.

Groundwater potential recharge areas delineation using groundwater potential recharge index (GPRI) within arid areas: Ghomrassen, south Tunisia

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021
The Ghomrassen region is located in southern Tunisia, which is an arid area where the annual rainfall does not exceed 150 mm. This region suffers from water table drawdown and scarcity of surface water. Groundwater is of strategic importance to meet the population and economic needs.

Review: Advances in groundwater potential mapping

Hydrogeology Journal, 2019
Groundwater resources can be expected to be increasingly relied upon in the near future, as a consequence of rapid population growth and global environmental change. Cost-effective and efficient techniques for groundwater exploration are gaining recognition as tools to underpin hydrogeological surveys in mid- and low-income regions. This paper provides

The New Potential for Understanding Groundwater Contaminant Transport

Groundwater, 2013
Abstract The groundwater remediation field has been changing constantly since it first emerged in the 1970s. The remediation field has evolved from a dissolved‐phase centric conceptual model to a DNAPL ‐dominated one, which is now being questioned due to a renewed ...

Mapping Potential Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems for Sustainable Management

Groundwater, 2014
Abstract Ecosystems which rely on either the surface expression or subsurface presence of groundwater are known as groundwater‐dependent ecosystems ( GDEs ). A comprehensive inventory of GDE locations at an appropriate management scale

Natural Attenuation Potential of Phenylarsenicals in Anoxic Groundwaters

Environmental Science & Technology, 2009
The extensive production of chemical warfare agents in the 20th century has led to serious contamination of soil and groundwater with phenyl arsenicals at former ammunition depots or warfare agent production sites worldwide. Most phenyl arsenicals are highly toxic for humans.

Groundwater Productivity Potential Mapping Using Evidential Belief Function

Groundwater, 2014
Abstract The evidential belief function ( EBF ) model was applied and validated for analysis of groundwater‐productivity potential ( GPP ) in Boryeong and Pohang cities, agriculture region in Korea using geographic information systems (

Zeta Potential and Groundwater Quality

2013
Groundwater is the main source of drinking water in the eastern Croatia region and it contains elevated concentrations of natural organic matter, ammonia, arsenic, manganese and iron due to geological composition of soil. Natural raw waters often contain negative hydrophobic colloids and their stability depends on zeta (ξ) potential.
