Ground Water Issue: Steam Injection for Soil and Aquifer Remediation

Innovative technologies for subsurface remediation, including in situ techniques based on heating the subsurface to enhance the recovery of organic contaminants, are increasingly being evaluated for use at specific sites as the limitations to the conventionally-used techniques are recognized. The purpose of this Issue Paper is to provide to those involved in assessing remediation technologies f...

Complex Satellite Monitoring of Coastal Water Areas

Possibilities of applying satellite means for monitoring of sea and ocean water areas are considered. Significant parameters of water environment registered by modern advanced space means and problems than can be solved using these means are analyzed. Some results obtained during complex satellite monitoring of anthropogenic influences on Mamala Bay water area (Honolulu, Hawaii) in 2002-2004 ar...

Characterization of the Stream-Aquifer Hydrologic Connection in the Elkhorn River Basin

Integrating Surface and Borehole Geophysics in the Characterization of Salinity in a Coastal Aquifer

A combination of geologic descriptions of cores, borehole geophysics, surfacegeophysical soundings and water-sample analyses was used to characterize flow in the surficial aquifer in the vicinity of Big Cypress National Preserve, Collier County, south Florida. The geophysical analysis augmented by aquifer tests and piezometer measurements showed that the surficial aquifer is under unconfined co...
