<p>The analyses of ground water quality were studied in Davangere city. Five different sampling stations were select for analysis and compared the parameter of sampling station, for instance pH, alkalinity, hardness, turbidity, sulphate, chloride, fluorides, ...

<p>This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of solid waste dumps on ground water quality. Inorder to achieve this, water samples were obtained during dry and wet seasons from hand dugwell.</p>

The current research examined the level of groundwater contamination near a municipal landfill sitein Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Water quality parameters (physico-chemical andheavy metals) of leachate and groundwater samples were ...

This technical report outlines the findings of an initial site inspection by UNEP in November 2005, and the results of an intrusive ground investigation performed in April 2006 to characterize the potential environmental and health risks associated with the ...

A process-based preferential flow transport model was implemented in a geographic information system to locate areas in the landscape with high risk of contamination by agrochemicals, especially pesticides. Protecting ground water resources necessitates a ...

The complex system of interactions between basic environmental components is very often complicated by anthropogenic pollution. Petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds represent the most frequent pollutants in the area of the Czech Republic. ...

This report provides an overview of some of the common approaches used to scientifically determine the important factors controlling the vulnerability of ground-water resources to contamination.

The need for hydrological research, basic as well as applied, is substantial to help rationally manage the world’s water resources. To satisfy this need, and the interest of Member States, UNESCO, in 1975, launched a long-term intergovernmental programme, ...

The main purpose of the reports is to provide comprehensive descriptions of the state of the art of decision analysis and sampling strategies for contaminated land. The reports form an important basis for future work, not only in the specific project, but ...

Urban karst systems are typically considered more vulnerable to contaminationand excess storm discharge because of potential sources areas, increased sedimentloading, and focusing of water from impervious surfaces.
