A 72-hour aquifer test was conducted to investigate the yield and interconnectivity of deep fracture systems in the City of Conyers, Rockdale County, Georgia. Wells tapping the deep fracture systems in the underlying igneous and metamorphic crystalline rock have yields ranging from 100 to 350 gallons per minute and can be pumped on a continuous basis. During the test, drawdown in excess of 30 f...

The occurrence of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in water from public wells in New Hampshire has increased steadily over the past several years. Using a laboratory reporting level of 0.2 microg/L, 40% of samples from public wells and 21% from private wells in southeast New Hampshire have measurable concentrations of MTBE. The rate of occurrence of MTBE varied significantly for public wells by e...

This paper is the first of a series that attempts to assess the possible health and safety risks associated with large scale CO2 sequestration in deep brine reservoirs. The approach is based on analysis of available data on the operational track record from CO2 transportation and injection associated with enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) in the US. This paper is particularly concerned with ident...

Health, Health Officer, Chudderghat Municipality. 1 iieiie are three varieties ot wells, shallow or superficial, deep and artesian. The last mentioned may be considered a variety of deep well, and we will dispose of it with a few words, for the reason that artesian wells have, up to dat...

There are two reservoirs with different temperature and permeability in the Kakkonda hydrothermal system. The shallow reservoir is permeable and 230 to 2 6 0 T , while the deep reservoir is less permeable and 350 to 3 6 0 T . However, they are hydraulically connected each other. Recent drilling of deep wells revealed existence of PreTertiary formation below Tertiary formations and neogranitic p...

Protection of ground water for present and future use requires monitoring and understanding of the mechanisms controlling long-term quality of ground water. In this study, spatial and temporal trends in concentrations of nitrate and pesticides in ground water in the eastern San Joaquin Valley, California, were evaluated to determine the long-term effects of agricultural and urban development on...
