Isolating Effects of Total Dissolved Solids on Aquatic Life in Central Appalachian Coalfield Streams
Elevated levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) have been identified as stressors to aquatic life in Central Appalachian coalfield streams. At present there are no aquatic life water quality criteria for TDS in the primary coal-producing Central Appalachian states (KY, VA, WV). In all three states, mining-related impacts on aquatic life have been characterized using measures of benthic macroinv...
متن کاملRestoring forests and associated ecosystem services on appalachian coal surface mines.
Surface coal mining in Appalachia has caused extensive replacement of forest with non-forested land cover, much of which is unmanaged and unproductive. Although forested ecosystems are valued by society for both marketable products and ecosystem services, forests have not been restored on most Appalachian mined lands because traditional reclamation practices, encouraged by regulatory policies, ...
متن کاملspatial and temporal zoning of groundwater electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids in guilan plain
in recent years, the groundwater resources in guilan province have played an important role in irrigating paddy fields. the goal of this study was to evaluate temporal and spatial variations of groundwater quality in a 4-year period using ordinal kriging. water samples for this study were collected from 130 wells across guilan province, in september and march from 2003 to 2006. maps of ec and ...
متن کاملFeasibility Study of Reducing the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from Contaminated Water in Radish Plant (Raphanus Sativus) Using Nano Activated Carbon and Zeolite
Applying Nanoporous Materials is an appropriate method for improving chemical quality of the water due to high surface area, internal porous structure (porosity), high absorption capability of harmful gases and liquids, and capability of reactivating the surface. Therefore, actions were carried out in order to investigate the effect of Activated carbon and Zeolite on reducing the total dissolve...
متن کاملFossil hunting in coal mines.
At the northern tip of Colombia, Jonathan Bloch hunts for fossils in the midst of spontaneous combustion fires, noxious gases laced with foul-smelling sulfur, rock-shattering explosions, and some of the largest machines in the world. “It is a weird place to work,” Bloch admits, an associate curator of vertebrate paleontology at the FloridaMuseum of Natural History, although he says he feels saf...
