Optioning Agricultural Water Rights for Urban Water Supplies During Drought

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Urban, agricultural, and environmental protection practices for sustainable water quality

Sustainable water management often emphasizes water resource quantity, with focus on availability and use practices. However, only a subset of the available water may be usable when also considering water quality. Water quality management is examined within three broad sectors—urban, agriculture, and environmental systems—to investigate how water quality sustainability (WQS) is defined by each ...

Chemical contamination of water supplies.

Man-made organic chemicals have been found in drinking water for many years. Their numbers and varieties increase as our analytical capabilities improve. The identified chemicals comprise 10 to 20% of the total organic matter present. These are volatile or low molecular weight compounds which are easily identified. Many of them are carcinogenic or mutagenic. Chlorinated compounds have been foun...

Adding fluoride to water supplies.

The water supplies and water requirements of the modern state.

This is a vast subject and I cannot hope to do more than touch the fringes of it in the short space allotted to me. Clearly, water is the most important and widely used raw material of all. It is vital in every sense of that word. I t is a primary requirement of vegetable life and of animal life (and here I include human life). I need not stress its many domestic uses. Water is essential in pro...
