Risk Estimation and Expert Judgment: The Case of Yucca Mountain [PDF]
, 1992 Professor Shrader-Frechette discusses factors responsible for acute disagreement between the federal government and Nevada citizens over potential Risks at Yucca Mountain and focuses on the use of expert judgment, concluding that some of them appear to ...

Effect of Moderate Heat on TCE Reductive Dechlorination Rates in Groundwater
Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract Low‐temperature heating (in the mesophilic range of ~15 to 40 °C) of contaminated aquifers offers the prospect of increasing the rates for biotic and abiotic treatment of volatile organic compounds. Thermal In Situ Sustainable Remediation (TISR®) is one of the approaches available to implement low temperature heating.

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract Monitoring of fluid parameters during well development, groundwater production, or geothermal operation is essential for the understanding of subsurface and well processes. We developed FluMoMax, a portable fluid monitoring unit, that can measure several physicochemical parameters in real‐time, to monitor fluid characteristics and to enable ...

Temporal Evolution of Contaminant Mass Discharge: Effect of Source Remediation at Contaminated Sites
Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract Contaminant mass discharge (CMD) is a key metric for evaluating remediation performance at contaminated sites posing a risk to groundwater. This study assesses temporal CMD trends and associated uncertainties using a geostatistical approach at a chlorinated solvent contaminated site following source zone remediation, supported by two decades ...

Potential impact of climate change on improved and unimproved water supplies in Africa [PDF]
, 2010 With significant climate change predicted in Africa over the next century, this chapter explores a key question: how will rural water supplies in Africa be affected? Approximately 550 million people in Africa live in rural communities and are reliant on

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract Groundwater in the upper Arkansas River corridor has been contaminated by elevated concentrations of dissolved solids in Arkansas River water. Most of the dissolved solids originate from the soils and bedrock in eastern Colorado, where river water is diverted for irrigation and storage systems, and evapotranspiration significantly increases ...

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.Abstract At many sites, chlorinated ethenes in some of the monitoring wells remain above cleanup goals, even though the water produced by the pumped wells of the pump‐and‐treat system meets the goals. Regulators and site risk managers need tools to determine whether it is appropriate to shut‐down the pump‐and‐treat system and transition to monitored ...
