Empowering Virginia's Well and Spring Users - Ling
This document summarizes the Virginia Household Water Quality Program (VAHWQP), which provides affordable and confidential water testing and education to private well owners in Virginia. The program began in 1989 and now operates in 60 counties annually, testing over 6,800 wells from 2008-2015. It finds that 22% of Virginians rely on private wells, which often lack proper maintenance. Through county-based drinking water clinics and the Virginia Well Owner Network training program, it aims to educate well owners and address common contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, and metals that can affect private water systems. Key partnerships help provide resources and technical assistance to well owners.
Rhode island private well owners mc cann
- Rhode Island has over 150,000 private well owners who are responsible for regularly testing and maintaining their drinking water wells. Many lack knowledge to make informed decisions to protect water quality.
- The URI Extension Water Quality Program aims to educate private well owners through community workshops, individual assistance, and intercept campaigns. Workshops have led 45% of attendees to test their well water and over 50% to adopt best practices like septic system maintenance.
- Program evaluation found workshops and outreach have effectively increased well testing rates and protection behaviors among private well owners in Rhode Island when complemented by easy-to-use resources and ongoing assistance. Partnerships are key to continued success.
Watershed success stories phillips
This document summarizes several large watershed projects and lessons learned from them. Key lessons include: (1) conservation planning must be done at the watershed scale with water quality data; (2) identify pollutants and their sources before implementing practices; (3) target critical source areas; (4) understand farmer attitudes; (5) maintain practices; (6) technical assistance is most effective locally; and (7) economic incentives are often needed for adoption. The North Canadian River project in Oklahoma applied these lessons through practices like no-till, riparian fencing, and monitoring, significantly reducing phosphorus loads. In Vermont's Lake Champlain basin, phosphorus levels remained high despite efforts, requiring new regulations

PROJECT PREntn DAVID
This document summarizes a research study assessing the potential of establishing a wildlife sanctuary in the Ongayo-Gembe Hills ecosystem in Suba Sub-County, Kenya. The study found that the ecosystem has high biodiversity due to diverse habitats supporting many plant and animal species. It also examined how establishment of a sanctuary could impact local communities through opportunities like employment and infrastructure, but also challenges like restricted access to resources. Local attitudes showed concerns over excluded from livelihoods and lack of involvement in the process. The study concluded the area has great potential for conservation due to its habitats and wildlife if local communities are engaged. It recommended the county government facilitate such projects to improve development and revenue, and further research to identify other important

Analysis of Marcellus Shale Radiation-1
The document analyzes radiation detected from Marcellus Shale samples using a Geiger-Muller counter and gamma ray spectrometer. A Geiger-Muller counter detects alpha, beta, and gamma radiation but not the specific elements, while a gamma ray spectrometer identifies uranium, thorium, and potassium concentrations. There was a very strong positive correlation between uranium concentration and API values calculated from the spectrometer, indicating uranium is the main source of detected gamma rays. A fair correlation was also found between Geiger counter readings and uranium concentration, showing it can determine Marcellus sample radiation levels primarily from uranium.

The document provides an overview of a nationwide survey conducted in Nepal on water supply and sanitation coverage and functionality:
- The survey was the first of its kind to collect comprehensive data from all wards across Nepal, with the aim of establishing a database to track progress. It found that national water supply coverage is 80.4% while sanitation coverage is lower at 43%.
- There are disparities in coverage between different regions. The Western region has the highest coverage for both water and sanitation. Functionality of water supply projects is also an issue, with only 17.9% found to be well-functioning.
- Recommendations include utilizing the survey data for planning, prioritizing rehabilitation
Sensors for water and agriculture involving children
The document summarizes a project that involved school children in learning about sensors and their applications in agriculture through hands-on activities. Over 4,000 school children in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, India were trained on topics like water use efficiency, climate change impacts, and more. They participated in demonstrations using low-cost sensors developed by the project team to monitor water levels, flows, weather data, and help with irrigation scheduling. This engaged the children with practical applications of sensors while teaching them about their local agriculture, environment and livelihoods. The involvement of children in this way was an innovative approach that could help disseminate learning to future generations and encourage adoption of adaptation practices.

Introduction The supply of potable water in low resource countries has been a public health concern, with frequent water interruptions, leaving the population vulnerable to access to potable water in households, which renders the population at risk of waterborne diseases like cholera. Our objectives were to assess the household practices of drinking water collection, transportation and storage in the Fako Division of the Southwest Region of Cameroon.Methods This was a cross sectional study with a mixed method approach. Focus Group Discussions were done to get an inside of the observed practices and a quasi experimental study with education as an intervention. A total of 394 households were randomly selected and issued a pretested questionnaire. A multistage random sampling technique was used to recruit the participants in the households in the four health districts of Fako. For the quasi experiment, 50 water samples from 50 homes were tested before and after the intervention to measure the mean microbial score in stored household drinking water. A one sample t test was used to compare the mean microbial colony count at baseline and 3 months post intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and confidence intervals were reported at a significance level of 0.05. Results Assessing the participants practice in drinking water collection and transportation, 273 69.3 of the participants reported public taps as their primary source of drinking water. The main alternative source of drinking water was spring 233 59.1 . More than half 56.3 of the respondents reported that they take more than 30 minutes to fetch water, done mostly by children 62.2 , and the majority 89.1 do this by trekking. Over half, 268 68 of the participants used buckets with lids, and 119 30.2 , use jerry cans to fetch water. A total of 184 46.7 reported a bucket with a lid as the water storage container meanwhile 34 8.6 and 176 44.7 stored water in a bucket with no lid and jerry cans respectively. Almost a half 180 46.9 store their drinking water for more than 2 days. The mean bacterial colony count 29.72 ± 40.07 after the intervention was significantly lower than the mean bacterial colony at baseline 71.4 ± 68.38, t 50 = 6.846, P 0.001 .Conclusion The primary source of drinking water in Fako is public tap, alternative source being a spring. More than half of the participants trek to fetch water and almost half of the participants store drinking water for more than 2 days. Intervention with health education significantly lowered the mean bacterial colony count in household drinking water.

VURU Water Paper 2014 (1)
This document provides a summary of a water and sanitation report on schools in Kanungu, Uganda. The report studied water access, quality, and sanitation in 30 primary and secondary schools through questionnaires with school staff and focus groups with students. It found that while most schools have access to a tap, breakdowns requiring alternative water sources were common and often lasted over a week. Less than 20% of schools met government water usage targets. Treated drinking water was tested and 85% showed evidence of fecal contamination, indicating treatment efforts were largely unsuccessful. Focus groups revealed problems like school-community conflicts contributed to limited water access. Maintaining hygiene and sanitation often had low priority compared to other water uses. The report concludes

This document describes a research project developing a biosensor to detect anthropogenic pollution in river water and groundwater in Tanzania. The biosensor uses microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and has shown correlations between chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels and the current density response of the biosensor. The researchers are now looking to deploy the biosensor for field testing and collect data on water quality in areas with poor sanitation systems. They seek collaborators to help with deployment and feedback from water experts on the technology and data use. The overall goal is to facilitate affordable, long-term water quality monitoring.

This document summarizes a workshop on environmental flows (E-flows) in India.
The first section provides an overview of India's progress with E-flows, including policy recommendations of 15-30% of flows. Case studies on the Ganges river show E-flows were maintained during religious festivals.
The second section discusses understanding trade-offs, including a study that found farmers would sacrifice for E-flows but prefer changing cropping patterns. Groundwater usage was also analyzed.
The third section outlines the challenges of implementing E-flows, including integrating them into basin plans and building capacity for long-term E-flows assessments and mainstreaming. A vision for the Ganges calls for maintaining ecosystem services throughMeghalaya rainwater harvesting workshop report April 2017
The 3-day Meghalaya Rainwater Harvesting Workshop focused on creating awareness of rainwater harvesting, engaging stakeholders, and installing a pilot system. Over 150 students and community members participated in activities on water and its importance. Representatives from 56 schools discussed water issues and rainwater harvesting system design. An advisory clinic provided design recommendations based on school details. Participants toured the installed system to understand technical components. Next steps include two additional workshops, training on water conservation, and a phased statewide implementation starting with 100-130 pilot schools.
chlorun_report[final) (1) (1)
1. The study evaluated the impact of an automated chlorination technology called Chlorun on providing safe drinking water in a rural Indian village called Namiligonda.
2. Baseline water quality testing found the village's surface water source to be highly contaminated with fecal coliform. Traditional intermittent chlorine treatment was unable to consistently disinfect the water.
3. The Chlorun system was installed to provide continuous 24/7 chlorination. Post-installation testing found E. coli was eliminated from the water during the study period and residual chlorine levels of 0.5 parts per million were maintained.
4. Health outcomes like incidence of diarrhea, weight gain in children, and hygiene

This document summarizes a presentation on unpacking systemic gender inequality across institutional landscapes in watershed research. The presentation discusses how gender norms and values of institutional stakeholders remain a "black box" in gender research. It notes that while gender is a cross-cutting theme in CGIAR research, organizations and institutional actors who shape policies are less researched. The presentation describes a study that used interviews to understand the perspectives of watershed scientists and development practitioners regarding gender competencies and inclusion in watershed programs and research. It found evidence of "hydropatriarchies" in watershed institutions and a need to better represent local knowledge and marginalized voices.Gender and social inclusivity in restoration projects – how does policy inten...

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

- 2. Project Sites Macro-Invertebrate Biomonitoring Where? § Piloted in May 2013 on the Seut and Tong Rivers in VienFane Province May 2014, an addiFonal eight rivers across VienFane and Bolikhamxay Provinces were added to the study § Increased number of sample locaFons from 12 to 21 across 10 different waterways Who? § TAF, Fishbio, and NREI staff trained provincial and district PoNRE/DoNRE § Then training was done with village commiTees in 11 villages § ToT with teachers in schools who went out to the field with students
- 7. Water Quality Score for All Sample Sites November 2015 0.00 1.00 2.00 3.00 4.00 5.00 6.00 7.00 8.00 9.00 10.0 - 7.0 Good 6.9 - 3.0 Fair 2.9 - 1.0 Poor 0 No life at all
- 9. How was the Data Used? • Village MI volunteers presented the findings of the water quality assessment to the community • TAF facilitated a discussion on how human acFviFes impact water and water quality • Findings were used to develop Community AcFon Plans, which included: • Designing, procuring, and installing signs/posters with “clean river” messages • Revised village regulaFons regarding waste management, adopFng more recycling programs, banning illegal fishing techniques, promoFng less agrochemical use or more efficient use • PromoFng dialogue with hydropower companies to keep water releases stable and provide advance warning for water releases during periods of high flows
- 11. Refinements 1. Improvements to the Human impact/site disturbance assessment sheet: the subjecFve scoring system was dropped and incorporated visual observaFons and more detailed descripFon of potenFal impacts and site disturbances. 2. More careful selec6on of control sites and more data collec6on points at mul6ple sites, in order to compare data collected at upstream locaFons with minimal human impact against data collected further downstream near human seTlements. 3. Recording the count of each type of macro-invertebrate (MI), in addiFon to its presence, to gauge relaFve species abundance. 4. Avoid overly technical and scien6fic language for younger students, so technique needs to be simplified to get the main points across.
