Ground water collection area

Precipitation or water supply is fundamental to terrestrial ecosystem evaporation. In the boreal zone, it is relatively sparse. Precipitation cannot generally be exceeded by evaporation in the long term. Ground water collection areas are exceptional in that water... 

One more application area is composite materials where one wants to investigate the 3D structure and/or reaction to external influences. Fig.3a shows a shadow image of a block of composite material. It consists of an epoxy matrix with glass fibers. The reconstructed cross-sections, shown in Fig.3b, clearly show the fiber displacement inside the matrix. The sample can be loaded in situ to investigate the reaction of matrix and fibers to external strain. Also absorption and transmission by liquids can be visualized directly in three-dimensions. This method has been applied to the study of oil absorption in plastic granules and water collection inside artificial plant grounds. 

Spliid and Kpppen described a method using LLE and LC-APCI-MS for the analysis of water. The method proposed was then used to investigate the contamination of Danish ground-water with pesticides. More than 200 samples of groundwater collected from various areas of the country were analyzed. Metramitron was detected one or more times in concentrations ranging from the detection limit level to 19 /rg/L (32). 

A 20-mL sample was preconcentrated on a 3-cm column containing Ct reverse-phase material and eluted and chromatographed with a mobile phase o/ 30 70 methanol.O.lM ammonium acetate, pH 6.2 on a 15 cm x 4.6 mm analytical column packed with Ct material electrochemical detector operated at +500 mV vs. Ag/AgCI—(A) standard aqueous solution (B) ground water sample collected near an industrial chemical dumping area. 

Two test wells, H-15D and LP-1, were drilled in areas known to contain other wells having high arsenic levels (Fig. 1, 2). To minimize possible contamination from drilling mud, city water (H-15D) or ground water from a nearby well (LP-1), was used to circulate rock cuttings. Water samples were collected at 15.7 m intervals using a pump and packer system, with selected zones of interest sampled in packed 1.37 m or 5.33 m intervals, using a similar protocol. 

The composition of pore waters from contaminated cores 1 and 2 were used to initialize the model (Table 2). Concentrations represent leachate collected from the initial half pore volume of each core. Eluent specified in the transport simulations had the composition of uncontaminated ground water in Table 2. Reactions proposed to describe concentration changes for selected constituents within the cores are based on comparisons between eluent and leachate chemistry and analysis of selected constituents in the core samples. Equilibrium constants and kinetic rates for the reactions were adjusted to give the best fit to leachate concentrations from core 1. The same reactions, equilibrium constants, and kinetic rates were then tested by modeling the concentrations of constituents in leachate from core 2. This geochemical model will be used in the future to simulate evolution of contaminated ground water associated with the Area 4 landfill at the aquifer scale. 

Ground-water samples were collected from four wells in the study area. Data for these sites, along with previously collected water-quality data, are given in Table 1 and locations are shown on Fig. 1. Measurements of temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen were made in a flow-through chamber. Field meters were calibrated using appropriate pH standards (Wilde and Radtke, 1998). Alkalinity was determined on-site by incremental titration of filtered water with sulfuric acid (Wilde and Radtke, 1998). 

Intermediate dotted landscape bioretention landscape. Combined with public green space and park etc., it forms a park landscape system incorporating functions of rainwater interception, retention, collection and usage. Small and middle-size ground rainwater purification area, sunken green land or square and underground rainwater sedimentation basin may be made to recycle rainwater assisted by infiltration measurement and water quality assurance. 

A third technique which is somewhat less popular but still useful is application of surface adsorption reagents. Activated car n is generally used as the carrier after conversion of the metal ion(s) of interest to a suitable form. For example, iodide in ground water has been determined by this method after conversion to silver iodide [61]. Neutral 8-hydroxyquinoline complexes have been employed in which, again, the oxine complex is collected on activated carbon [62]. Use of activated carbon is particularly useful where PIXE is being employed as the analysis technique, since the resultant sample is ideal for direct presentation to the instrument [63]. Other preconcentration methods that have been employed in this area include electrodeposition [64], precipitation chromatography [65], liquid/liquid extraction, immobilized reagents [66], plus a variety of other techniques well known to the analytical chemist. 

A slope chosen for the case study is located in Southeast Washington D. C., and a plan view of the slope site is shown in Figure 2. There exist a parking lot, a storm water collection system, water and sewer systems and pavements within the area of the slope located. The ground movement within the slope had caused extensive damages to the facilities and properties. Moreover, the slope failure has caused considerable inconvenience as well as safety concerns to the publics. In order to stabilize the distressed slope, the remedial solutions to the slope are presented on the basis of the probabilistic method and the current conditions of the... 

Sediment deposition. Horizontal surfaces collect particles primarily by sedimentation deposition, sometimes referred to as fallout . These can provide valuable information relating to exposure for horizontal surfaces in the field such as water and ground. Most studies measuring spray performance within the application area, and/or outside this area by drift, include horizontal collectors. The most common types of such collector include flat papers, cards and plates. Water- and oil-sensitive papers have been widely used for looking at the uniformity of spray coverage, coefficient of variation, droplet densities and approximate droplet size within a spray block.
