Drinking water from private wells and risks to children.
Drinking water for approximately one sixth of US households is obtained from private wells. These wells can become contaminated by pollutant chemicals or pathogenic organisms, leading to significant illness. Although the US Environmental Protection Agency and all states offer guidance for construction, maintenance, and testing of private wells, there is little regulation, and with few exception...
متن کاملVolatile Organic Compounds in Ground Water from Rural Private Wells
National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program collected or compiled data on ground water from 1926 private wells in rural areas across the United States from 1986 to 1999. These private wells, also called domestic wells, are owned and operated by the homeowners and provide water for household uses, including drinking, food preparation, watering lawns and gardens, bathing, and washing clothe...
متن کاملUSGS directions in MODFLOW development.
Introduction The development and application of ground-water models has been an important component of USGS hydrologic investigations since the early 1970s. During the past 35 years, the USGS has developed a wide range of computer models to simulate saturated and unsaturated subsurface flow, solute transport, and chemical reactions. The most widely used of these programs is the MODFLOW model, w...
متن کاملCryptographic Treatment of Private User Profiles
The publication of private data in user profiles in a both secure and private way is a rising problem and of special interest in, e.g., online social networks that become more and more popular. Current approaches, especially for decentralized networks, often do not address this issue or impose large storage overhead. In this paper, we present a cryptographic approach to private profile manageme...
متن کاملInfluence of Blade Profiles on Flow around Wells Turbine
The Wells turbine rotor consists of several symmetric airfoil blades arranged around a central hub, and the stagger angle is 90 degrees. These characteristics simplify the total construction of OWC type wave energy converters. Although the Wells turbine is simple, the turbine produces a complicated flow field due to the peculiar arrangement of blades, which can rotate in the same direction irre...
