Tens of millions of people in the Bengal Basin region of Bangladesh and India drink groundwater containing unsafe concentrations of arsenic. This high-arsenic groundwater is produced from shallow (<100 m) depths by domestic and irrigation wells in the Bengal Basin aquifer system. The government of Bangladesh has begun to install wells to depths of >150 m where groundwater arsenic concentrations...

1. Abstract Capture and sequestration of CO2 in deep geological formations is an attractive option to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The capture of CO2 is mostly done at large stationary point sources, such as power plants and refineries, and then it is injected in deep saline aquifers or old oil and gas fields. One of the environmental and policy concerns with this str...

PURPOSE The optimal approach to diagnosing deep venous thrombosis is not entirely clear. In this prospective cohort study, we aimed to evaluate the yield of two methods of assessing the pretest probability of deep venous thrombosis-the treating physician's implicit assessment and the Wells score, a validated prediction rule that incorporates signs, symptoms, and the presence or absence of an al...

there are 3700 wells in tehran city, of which 850 are deep wells. to determine tehran ground water quality, as a pretest we selected 102 wells by simple random sampling; water analyses were made according to the latest edition (1985) of the standard methods. comparisons of the obtained results with who standards show that only 0.98% of the samples go beyond the maximum desirable concentration o...

in this paper, the results of surface and ground water quality monitoring during drilling of three deep exploratory wells in geothermal project in north west of sabalan in meshkinshahr are analyzed. the region has been investigated by various researchers to generate electricity using geothermal energy. drilling in deep geothermal projects, a variety of materials such as cement, bentonite, barit...
