The capillary fringe: monitoring and remediation in this neglected zone
Much of the capillary fringe is fully-water-saturated but water is held under negative pressure. Dissolved contaminants migrate laterally as under the water table and residual LNAPLs such as gasoline occur in the capillary fringe. This is becoming more significant as ethanol-blended gasoline may be released into the subsurface. The behavior of ethanol fuels in the subsurface will highlight recent ...

Using satellites to track groundwater depletion in California
Researchers have pioneered the use of a tool that can track the loss of groundwater in California's Central Valley by measuring how much the Earth is sinking. Home to one of the largest groundwater basins in the western United States, the Central Valley supplies about one-fifth of the nation's groundwater demand, a large part of which is used to provide crop irrigation and aid agricultural ...

OS Remediation Invites You To A Webinar: Fate of Vinyl Chloride in Aquifers: Organisms, Pathways, and Monitoring Tools
As a proven human carcinogen, vinyl chloride (VC) is a major risk factor in many contaminated aquifers. Lingering concentrations above the maximum concentration level (MCL) of 2 ppb generally prevent site closures, thus requiring continued remedial and monitoring efforts. Knowledge of the pathways and mechanisms that contribute to VC detoxification is essential to predict the fate and longevity ...

Solinst Telemetry Helps Assess Drought Conditions in North Carolina
The Water Resources Division of North Carolina’s Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) is responsible for protecting, enhancing, and managing North Carolina’s surface water and groundwater resources. More than half of North Carolina’s population receives its drinking water from aquifers. With a large amount of the state’s groundwater also being used for irrigation, ...

Idaho aquifer decline could hinder radioactive monitoring
A continued drop in underground water levels could make it more difficult to monitor the movement of radioactive contamination in an aquifer below an eastern Idaho nuclear facility, scientists say. Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey in a 36-page report released Monday said the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer level has dropped below two wells and about a dozen others are in danger due ...

Groundwater footprint reveals unsustainable water consumption
Reservoirs of water stored under the earth’s surface, otherwise known as groundwater, are a valuable resource. However, using a footprinting method, a new global study has indicated that about 1.7 billion people live in areas where groundwater is being used more quickly than it can be replenished. Groundwater supplies water to billions of people and is important for agricultural irrigation ...

Groundwater lessons learned at region of waterloo
The Region of Waterloo relies on a network of over 100 supply wells for the bulk of the Region’s municipal water supply. The Region has long conducted monitoring of supply wells and monitoring wells to support sustainable water taking from a variety of local aquifers. Recently, the considerable monitoring data collected by the Region was a key resource in completing early requirements of ...

High resolution multi-level monitoring for bedrock aquifers
This presentation describes a comprehensive approach for determining the nature, extent, transport and fate of contaminants at industrial sites on fractured rock, with emphasis on sedimentary rock, referred to as the Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) approach. Development of this DFN approach began at a sandstone site in California in 1997, where the initial version of a method for measuring ...

Why You Should Monitor Groundwater?
What is groundwater? Groundwater is water that is stored below the earth’s surface. When rain or other sources of water come into contact with the ground, the majority of it travels below the surface. Though much of this moisture is then absorbed by plants or returned to the atmosphere (through infiltration), some water will travel deeper beneath the surface – where it reaches and ...
