Cultural and hydrogeological factors that influence well water quality

Article Abstract:

Cultural, geological and structural factors related to concentrations of nitrates, triazines and acetanilides were identified in an analysis of chemicals in private rural wells in the midwestern US. However, these factors were found to have weak predictive power in terms of well water quality. Findings include a negative relationship between chemical concentrations and well depth, and lower concentrations in drilled wells compared with dug or driven wells. Higher concentrations, on the other hand, were noted in wells that have gone dry in the past.

Understanding microcontaminants in recycled water

Article Abstract:

More attention is being paid to the detection, treatment and removal of problematic effluent-derived contaminants in water. Nonpotable recycled water is used for such things as irrigating golf courses and landscaping, while indirect potable recycled water is something that may be used a potable water source eventually. Questions about current recycling practices is leading to a wave of new water projects.

Predicting impacts of ground water contamination

Article Abstract:

Groundwater resources throughout the world are facing an unprecedented risk of contamination from the subsurface release of organic chemicals, posing a potential threat to the water supply. The article details the causes and consequences of and possible solutions for the problem.
