This document discusses the four main mechanisms that cause precipitation: 1) Convectional lifting caused by surface heating, 2) Frontal wedging when contrasting air masses collide, 3) Orographic lifting as air is forced upwards by mountains, and 4) Convergence when winds from different directions collide and force air to rise. Precipitation occurs when the lifting mechanisms cause air to cool and reach its dew point, condensing moisture into clouds and rain or snow.

Types of aquifer by bablu bishnoi
This document presents information about groundwater and aquifers from a student presentation. It defines an aquifer as a saturated, permeable geologic unit that can transmit significant groundwater. It describes different types of aquifers including unconfined, confined, perched, artesian, and leaky aquifers. Examples are given of good aquifers like gravel, sand and limestone that allow easy groundwater movement, and poor aquifers like solid granite with low permeability.
Types of Aquifers
There are different types of underground formations that can store and transmit groundwater. An aquifer readily transmits significant quantities of water and can support water wells. It may be unconfined, with a water table, or confined under pressure between low-permeability layers. An aquitard has low permeability and does not yield much water to wells. Other formations may contain water but not transmit it (aquiclude) or contain no water (aquifuge). Perched aquifers occur above discontinuous low-permeability layers and are separated from the main groundwater body. The type of aquifer depends on its geology and subsurface position.
Ground water
Groundwater exists below the Earth's surface within the pore spaces and fractures of rocks and sediments. It originates from rainfall and snowmelt that percolates underground, where it moves slowly through the saturated zone and eventually resurfaces in streams, lakes, or oceans. The movement and storage of groundwater is dependent on the porosity, permeability, and saturation of geological formations. When groundwater is pumped from wells faster than it can recharge, water tables decline and other issues like land subsidence can occur. Groundwater supports various geological features and processes near the surface.
Ground Water Recharge
This document discusses various methods of artificially recharging groundwater. It describes techniques such as spreading water over permeable land or pits for it to infiltrate shallow aquifers. Other methods discussed are storing water in shallow ditches or low earth dykes, injecting water into boreholes, and using wells near riverbanks with radial collectors to increase the water table gradient. The key benefits of artificial groundwater recharge are augmenting the groundwater reservoir beyond natural replenishment rates and improving groundwater levels, yields, and quality.
Precipitation presentation
Precipitation occurs when moisture in the atmosphere condenses and falls to the surface. The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, hail, fog, dew, mist, glaze, rime, sleet. Precipitation is measured using rain gauges, snow gauges, radars, and satellites. Rain gauges include non-recording and recording types like tipping bucket, weighing, and float gauges. Recording gauges provide rainfall duration and intensity data in addition to total amounts.
Darcys law
Henry Darcy developed Darcy's law in 1856 based on experiments studying the flow of water through sand filters. Darcy's law states that for laminar flow through saturated soil or porous media, the discharge rate is proportional to the hydraulic gradient. The law is expressed mathematically as Q=KA(h1-h2)/L, where Q is the flow rate, K is the hydraulic conductivity, A is the cross-sectional area, h1 and h2 are the water levels, and L is the distance between them. Darcy's law is valid for laminar flow in saturated, homogeneous, isotropic porous media, but may not apply to turbulent or unsaturated flow conditions. It has wide applications in areas like

Flow duration curves are also introduced to analyze stream flow variability over time.
Hydrology
The document discusses several key aspects of hydrology:
- Precipitation is the main driver of hydrologic processes and is formed as air cools and its ability to hold water decreases.
- Weather patterns result in different biomes and rainfall patterns across geographic regions.
- Water moves across and through soils via processes like infiltration, evaporation, transpiration, surface runoff, subsurface stormflow, and groundwater flow.
- The dominant runoff process depends on factors like rainfall intensity, soil saturation, and watershed characteristics, and can include Horton overland flow, saturation overland flow, or subsurface stormflow.
Precipitation, types and their different forms.
This document discusses different types of precipitation including rain, snow, hail, sleet and drizzle. It explains that precipitation forms through the process of evaporation, cooling, condensation and growth of water droplets. There are three main types of precipitation: convective caused by warm air rising, orographic caused when air is forced up over mountains, and cyclonic caused by interactions of warm and cold air masses. The document provides details on the formation mechanisms and characteristics of various precipitation types.
Evapotranspiration ppt
This document discusses evapotranspiration (ET), which is the combination of evaporation from soil and plant surfaces and transpiration from plants. It defines potential ET, referential ET, and actual ET. Factors that affect ET include environmental conditions, plant type, geography, and soil properties. ET can be measured directly using lysimeters or indirectly using water balance methods. Maintaining accurate ET measurements is significant for understanding water cycles and managing irrigation.
Infiltration and runoff
The document discusses infiltration, percolation, and factors that influence infiltration rates in soils. It describes how infiltration rates are measured and defines key terms like infiltration rate, hydraulic conductivity, and percolation. Soil texture, structure, and the presence of vegetation can greatly impact infiltration. Higher infiltration is associated with larger soil pores, continuous pore networks, and protective vegetative covers on the soil surface.
Permeability
This document discusses permeability in soil, which is the property that allows water to flow through soil. It defines permeability and explains its importance in engineering applications like earth dams and slope stability. Darcy's law states that flow through saturated soil is directly proportional to the hydraulic gradient. The coefficient of permeability depends on factors like particle size, pore water properties, degree of saturation, and soil structure. Laboratory tests like constant head and falling head tests are used to measure the coefficient of permeability.
Chapter 1 occurrence of groundwater
Groundwater occurs beneath the Earth's surface in pore spaces and fractures in rocks and sediments. It originates from rainfall and snowmelt percolating into the ground. Groundwater is found everywhere but is usually within 750 meters of the surface. It makes up about 1% of the total water on Earth but 35 times the amount of water in streams and lakes. Groundwater flows through the hydrologic cycle, entering the ground as precipitation and eventually emerging in streams, lakes, or oceans.
Hydraulic conductivity( Darcy's law)
The document discusses hydraulic conductivity, which measures the ability of a material like soil or rock to transmit fluids through pores and fractures under an applied hydraulic gradient. It describes hydraulic conductivity as being important for calculating groundwater movement rates and outlines experimental and empirical methods for determining it in the field or laboratory, such as constant head tests, falling head tests, or correlations with soil properties. Hydraulic conductivity is the constant in Darcy's Law and is defined as the volume of water that will move through a porous medium per unit time under a unit hydraulic gradient through a unit area measured perpendicular to flow.
ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE OF GROUNDWATER
This document discusses various methods for artificially recharging groundwater. It begins by defining artificial recharge as augmenting natural groundwater recharge through human methods. The appropriate recharge method depends on local conditions. Direct surface methods include percolation tanks, flooding, stream augmentation, ditches/furrows, and contour bunds. Direct subsurface methods include recharge wells, dug wells, and pits/shafts. Indirect methods are induced recharge, where pumping creates infiltration, and aquifer modification to increase storage/flow.
Precipitation types and clouds types
This document discusses precipitation, including its definition, forms, measurement, and classification. It defines precipitation as moisture deposits from the troposphere to the ground. The main forms of precipitation include rain, snow, hail, sleet, fog, frost, and drizzle. Precipitation occurs through lifting of air masses, condensation, growth of cloud droplets, and accumulation of moisture. It can be classified as convective, orographic, or cyclonic based on the lifting mechanism. Precipitation is primarily measured using rain gauges, radar, and satellites. Networks of precipitation measurement stations are designed for purposes like water resource management and flood forecasting.
Chapter 3 Fetter Properties of Aquifers
This document discusses key properties and concepts related to aquifers and groundwater flow. It defines terms like porosity, permeability, hydraulic conductivity, specific yield, and water table. It describes different types of aquifers such as unconfined, confined, and perched aquifers. Pumping from confined aquifers can create a cone of depression. Storativity describes how much water an aquifer can gain or lose from storage. Aquifer units can be homogeneous, heterogeneous, isotropic, or anisotropic depending on their properties.
GROUNDWATER LEVEL FLUCTUATION
Groundwater levels fluctuate due to various factors. Secular variations occur over years due to changes in storage and recharge/discharge amounts. Seasonal variations result from rainfall and irrigation on well-defined cycles. Diurnal variations happen within a day due to tidal effects. Other causes of groundwater level changes include stream flows, evaporation, transpiration, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, ocean tides, earth tides, external loads, earthquakes, urbanization, volcanic eruptions, roads, and continental drift.
Hydrological cycle and its components
The document discusses the hydrological cycle and its components. The hydrological cycle describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. Water evaporates from oceans and transpiration from plants, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates as rain or snow. Precipitation runs off and infiltrates the ground, becoming groundwater that eventually discharges into water bodies, completing the cycle as water evaporates again from oceans. The main components are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, runoff, infiltration, and groundwater flow.

Weather elements and factors
This chapter discusses weather and climate. It defines weather as short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate refers to longer-term patterns over 30-35 years. Weather is described by temperature, humidity, precipitation, pressure and winds. Temperature is influenced by factors like latitude, altitude, distance from the sea, and cloud cover. Humidity refers to water vapor in the air. Precipitation forms as rain or snow depending on temperature. Air pressure decreases with altitude as air molecules are farther apart. Winds blow from high to low pressure areas. Sea and land breezes are influenced by differences in how land and sea absorb heat.
Temperate Cyclones
The document provides information about mid-latitude cyclones, including:
1) The stages of development of a mid-latitude cyclone are the initial, development, mature, and occlusion stages.
2) Conditions necessary for their formation include contact between warm/moist and cold/dry air masses at the polar front with convergence and disturbances forming a low pressure system.
3) Characteristics include originating in mid-latitudes, moving eastward, rotating counterclockwise, having a diameter of up to 1,000 miles, bringing changing weather over 1-3 days, and being caused by clashes between different air masses.
Weather patterns
Fronts are boundary surfaces that separate air masses of different densities. Warm fronts occur when warmer air overrides cooler air, causing the warmer air to lift up along the wedge of cold air. This lifting causes clouds and precipitation to form ahead of the surface position of the warm front. As the warm front passes, air temperatures gradually rise and skies typically clear.
Weather
This document summarizes key concepts relating to weather including air masses, lifting mechanisms, mid-latitude cyclonic systems, and severe weather phenomena like thunderstorms and tornadoes. It discusses how weather results from different air masses interacting through pressure-induced movement and lifting. Important lifting mechanisms include convection, convergence, orographic lifting, and frontal lifting. Mid-latitude cyclones form as warm and cold air masses collide, rotating around a low pressure center. Severe weather such as thunderstorms and tornadoes can occur where pronounced lifting takes place. Tropical cyclones form over warm ocean waters, fueled by heat release and pressure drops.
Weather Note PowerPoint
Weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, and is determined by factors such as temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and air pressure. Changes in weather are caused by the movement of air masses and fronts as warmer or colder air moves into an area. Meteorologists study weather patterns and use tools like weather maps, reports from weather stations, isotherms, and isobars to make forecasts and predict upcoming conditions and severe weather threats.
18.2[1] cloud formation
Clouds form through condensation which requires saturated air. Air cools adiabatically when it rises and expands. There are four main mechanisms that can lift air and cause it to rise: orographic lifting from air flowing over mountains, frontal wedging at boundaries between air masses, convergence when air flows together, and localized convective lifting. The stability of the air determines whether it will rise or remain in its original position, and influences the type of clouds and weather that form.

Weather unit Atmosphere power point #2
The uneven heating of land and water causes weather. Land heats up and cools down faster than water, so the sun heats land quicker than oceans. This causes hot air over land to rise and cool air from over the ocean to blow inland, taking its place. This rising and sinking of hot and cold air leads to movement in the atmosphere, driving all weather on Earth.

Precipitation and its classification
This document discusses different types of precipitation. It defines precipitation as water that reaches the earth's surface from the atmosphere, which can be in solid or liquid form such as rainfall, snow, hail, frost or dew. Precipitation requires the presence of moisture in the atmosphere along with condensation and cooling processes. Precipitation is classified based on its origin as liquid (rain, dew) or solid (snow, hail), and on its state as dew, fog, mist or liquid/solid forms. The document also describes the three main types of precipitation as cyclonic, convective and orographic, which occur due to air mass movement associated with cyclones, rising warm air, and lifting over

This document discusses different types of rainfall including artificial rainfall, convective rainfall, orographic rainfall, frontal rainfall, and cyclonic rainfall. It provides details on the stages and processes involved in artificial rainfall (cloud seeding). It describes convective rainfall as occurring from heated air in equatorial regions leading to rapid showers. Orographic rainfall is explained as air forced upwards over mountains, cooling and condensing into rain. Frontal rainfall involves warm air rising over cold air at fronts, cooling and producing clouds and rain. Cyclonic rainfall occurs along fronts formed by different air masses meeting in temperate depressions.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

mechanism of precipitation
- 1. Necessary Conditions Cooling of air (Lifting mechanism of air) Condensation and cloud formation An accumulation of moisture The growth of cloud droplets Mechanism of Precipitation
- 2. 1. Convectional Lifting: • Heating of earth’s surface causes air to rise rapidly • Maritime air masses cross onto land, experience surface heating • Create low pressure as the air rises, air cools • Moisture condenses into clouds and precipitation. Mechanism of Precipitation Air Lifting Mechanism 2. Frontal Wedging: • When two contrasting temperatures are there, air masses and densities collides • Precipitation occur at the surface of contact. • Warm air rises above cold air
- 3. 3. Orographic Mechanism 4. Convergence • It occurs when mountains act as a barrier to air flow • Adiabatic cooling generate clouds and precipitation occurs at windward side • Many of wettest places are located on windward mountain slopes. •It occurs by collision of contrasting large air mass which forces air to rise vertically. •Uplifting of these wind coming from different direction result in cloud formation.
- 4. Mechanism of Precipitation Orographic and Rain Shadow Mechanism Windward Mountain Slope Leeward Mountain Slope Wet areas are mostly present on windward side Air becomes warmer, dry and humidity rate drop •High temperature on leeward is result of latent heat release during condensation at top of mountain.
