Case Study - Groundwater Discharge Permit - Plymouth, Massachusetts
The process of obtaining a groundwater discharge permit for a subdivision scale septic absorption system was faciliated by using the advanced GIS features within EnviroInsite. Geologic features were downloaded and presented at the site scale along with the subdivision boundary and potential downgradient receptors. A cross-section was created showing the detailed soil descriptions, water levels ...

Groundwater management in China
After introducing groundwater development and other issues, the paper analyzes China's groundwater management system and its problems, and provides suggestions for improving the system. Increasing water demand since the 1970s has resulted in severe groundwater overdraft, water level decline and water quality degradation in China, but the current management system is not able to provide ...

Wet water v. paper water: water management under the 1980 Arizona groundwater code.
The Arizona Groundwater Management Code was enacted in 1980 to address the trend of widespread groundwater depletion across the State. The Code limits withdrawals of groundwater within designated areas (known as Active Management Areas or AMAs) to holders of groundwater rights, service area rights, groundwater withdrawal permits, and small domestic water users. Each AMA is required to maintain a ...

Evaluating groundwater sustainability for fractured crystalline bedrock
Water sustainability is an important concern for communities that rely on groundwater in fractured rock; yet the complexity of the fracture system and the unknown rate of recharge make quantifying groundwater availability difficult, if not impossible, using conventional water balance calculations. This study provides a new approach for estimating groundwater sustainability in fractured rock ...

A Calibrated Predictive Geochemical Model of Leaching and Attenuation Reactions in a Mine Pit Lake
Abstract: A geochemical model was developed to predict future water quality of the Cove pit lake in support of site closure and regulatory permitting. The terminal, groundwater-fed Cove pit lake began filling in 2001, and water-quality samples from the 15-year filling period were used to calibrate the pit-lake model and evaluate the accuracy of the predictions. Inputs to the pit-lake model ...

Control Algae and Improve the Water Quality in Waste Stabilization Ponds
Due to population growth, accelerated urbanisation and economic development, the quantity of waste water generated is increasing globally. Mainly in low-income areas, a large proportion of the waste water is discharged directly in the environment. When the waste water is treated, the treatment plants may not remove certain pollutants that can have a negative impact on the people and ecosystem. ...
