Multipurpose projects
This document discusses multipurpose projects which serve multiple functions like irrigation and hydropower generation. It describes how such projects are constructed by building dams across deep river valleys. The objectives of multipurpose projects are power generation, water supply, irrigation, flood prevention, and more. It then provides details on how hydropower is generated and factors that lead to criticism of such projects, like displacement of communities and environmental impacts. As an example, it summarizes the key aspects and achievements of the Maithon Dam project in Jharkhand, India, which generates hydropower while also providing irrigation, water supply, and flood control. However, it notes that multipurpose projects can face issues like reservoir sedimentation and

The movement received the Right Livelihood Award in 1991 for its activism on the issue.
Water resource management and role of dams
The document discusses water resource management and the role of dams. It provides information on several key points:
1) Water resource management involves planning, developing, distributing and managing water resources in an optimal way. Dams play an important role in the development and management of water resources.
2) Dams have both positive and negative environmental impacts. They provide benefits like flood control and hydroelectric power but can also negatively impact ecosystems, cause displacement of people, and change physical and chemical properties of the environment.
3) Case studies of controversial dam projects in India, China, and Pakistan are discussed, including the proposed Subansiri dam project in India which has faced construction challenges. Mitigation of environmental impacts and controvers
Dams are temples of modern india
After India gained independence, the government invested heavily in building large dams and reservoirs to store rainwater for municipal water supplies, agriculture, and hydropower generation. However, traditional water harvesting practices were neglected, and reservoirs were not properly managed, leading to environmental degradation. Dams are barriers across flowing water that create reservoirs and lakes, obstructing or directing the water flow. Dams are considered temples of modern India because they brought economic prosperity through irrigation, tourism, hydropower, and foreign exchange. Dams provide water for drinking, irrigation, hydropower, industry, and flood control.

The document proposes the Green Creek Ravine Preserve, which would protect 6,700 linear feet of Green Creek and create an 8,000 linear foot recreation trail through 19 acres of forested ravines. The preserve would be a collaboration between Euclid, Cleveland, South Euclid, and Cuyahoga County Metroparks to showcase the creek, historic bluestone quarries, and connect to the Euclid Creek Reservation. The proposed budget is $85,800 with $19,800 matched by Euclid City funds and services.
Environmental impacts of hydroelectric power
Damming rivers can permanently alter river systems and wildlife habitats. A dam blocks fish migration, stops nutrients from flowing downstream, and changes water quality, all of which negatively impact the river ecosystem. The Iron Gates dams on the Danube River block important spawning sites and do not have fish passes, disrupting the migration and spawning of endangered sturgeon species.
PPT
Rainwater harvesting has been practiced for centuries around the world to collect and store rainwater for irrigation and drinking. It involves collecting rainwater, transporting it, filtering it, and storing it for groundwater recharge or other uses. Popular struggles have occurred related to water privatization and large dam projects that displaced communities or restricted access to water sources. Sustainable development aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs, and groundwater can be preserved by reducing chemical and waste pollution, conserving water usage, and practicing reuse and recycling.
Water resources
The document discusses water resources and water scarcity issues in India. It provides the following key points:
1) Though water is a renewable resource, nearly 2 billion people will face absolute water scarcity by 2025 due to over-exploitation and unequal access.
2) Water scarcity is caused not just by low rainfall but also factors like population growth, over-exploitation for irrigation and industries, urbanization, and pollution.
3) Dams were built for multiple purposes like irrigation, power, and flood control after independence, but they fragmented rivers and displaced populations, causing conflicts over water usage.

Sydney’s water supply is in crisis scenario due to drought and population increase. The Metro Water Plan hopes to supply Sydney’s water need by 2015. This plan focuses on three main areas, saving water, recycling and finding additional supplies.
Sydney’s Water Crisis | Biocity Studio
Water is essential for life on Earth and makes up a large portion of the human body. It is part of a closed system through the hydrological cycle. Sydney's first European settlement was located near the Tank Stream due to its reliable water source, but it became polluted over time. Sydney now sources its water from several dams and reservoirs located far from the city, with the Prospect Water Filtration Plant treating 2,700 megalitres of water per day. Major pipelines and reservoirs distribute the treated water across Greater Sydney.
Lake restoration
This document discusses lake restoration methods. It begins with an introduction to lakes and their functions. It then discusses common causes of lake degradation, including nutrients, contaminants, and sediments from nonpoint sources. Methods to restore lakes are categorized as preventive/indirect or ameliorative/direct. Preventive methods include watershed alterations and waste diversion. Ameliorative methods include in-lake physical, chemical, and biological techniques as well as outside-lake treatments. A case study on Lake Anasagar in India is presented, outlining material/methods used to assess water quality and identify degradation factors. An integrated restoration plan for the lake focuses on catchment development and lake area development through sediment removal and design plans.
Environmental and Social Impacts of Hydro-Electric Dams in Chamba District o...
Having 4300 large dams already constructed and many more in pipeline, India is one of world's most prolific dam-builders. Large dams in India are estimated to have submerged about 37500 km2 land area and displaced tens of millions of people. Himachal Pradesh is proceeding towards power-surplus state and there are as many as 401 projects of different magnitude in different stages of installation on 5 river basins of the state i.e. Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Yamuna. State has identified its hydropower generation potential at 23,000 MW. The ecological devastation caused by various projects at lower altitudes of Himachal Pradesh has been alarming; while the prospect of what will happen to the fragile alpine ecosystem is frightening. These projects will change the microclimate that will result in accelerated melting of the snow and glaciers at high altitudes. Like other river basins of the state, hydro-electric power generation in Chamba district was started in 1980s, with 117 mini & micro power projects in different stages of execution at present. Having the special focus on Hul projects the present paper explores the impacts of various dams on environment and local people in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. About 6000 local people are being affected by Hul-I project only. The consequences to nature and wildlife will also prove disastrous. As of now, the wildlife such as deer, bear, goat, tiger and peacock do not enter the fields of farmers. Deforestation and soil erosion are even more devastating. Making the situation even more absurd is that the benefits of these power plants do not go to the community suffering the consequences. Gujjar and Gaddi tribes in the state of Himachal Pradesh have been agitating against 4.5 MW hydropower plant from diverting the entire flow of the Hul stream, on which their lives depend. These communities have for more than two decades protected and preserved the forests from which Hul stream originates. The project’s pipeline is said to destroy about 2000 of slow-growing oak trees. Livelihood and social impacts of poorly planned mini-hydel projects can be thus devastating, as exemplified in this case.

The document discusses the history of drought in Texas based on paleoclimatological records. It notes that megadroughts have occurred in Texas lasting 20-40 years, including some in the 1100s-1200s and late 1500s. When the Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca arrived in Texas in the 1530s he encountered a population suffering from a drought of at least two years. Droughts also impacted settlers and colonies in the 1600s-1800s. The most severe drought on record was in the 1950s, but several major droughts have occurred since, including costly multi-year droughts in the 1980s and the current ongoing drought beginning in 2010.

How to Overcome Public Perception Issues on Potable Reuse Projects
Michael R. Markus, P.E., Orange County Water District, Fountain Valley, CA

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how the Orange County Water District
(the District; OCWD) was able to insulate itself from public opposition to its potable reuse
project, the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS).
To understand what challenges the District would be facing it is important to first understand
what was happening with other projects that were being developed at the same time in
Southern California. Second, it is important to understand the process by which the outreach
program was developed and how it was executed. That program was ongoing and changed
with the project to help anticipate and react to various issues that developed. Finally, it will be
shown how important it is to continue the outreach efforts and outline the various steps the
District has taken to educate people on the benefits of reuse.
Introduction
The Orange County Water District manages a very large groundwater basin (basin) in central
and north Orange County in the state of California, U.S.A. It was created by the State
Legislature in 1933 for that purpose and is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors that
sets policy, establishes the amount of pumping out of the basin and sets tariffs. The District
currently has set the amount of groundwater that can be pumped out of the basin at 77% of the
total water demands for its 19 retail agencies which serve 2.5 million people. The remaining
23% of its water supply is dependent on water that is imported into the region.
The Southern California region has a semi-arid climate, which receives approximately 355 mm
of rainfall per year. Most of its water is imported from two primary outside sources, the
Colorado River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (the Delta) in Northern California. The
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) built a 320 km aqueduct in the
1930’s bringing water from the Colorado River into Southern California and then participated in
the building of a 640 km aqueduct in the 1960’s from Northern California to bring water from
the Delta to Southern California. These supplies are enough to meet the water demands in
most years, but they are variable and the amount of water through these systems is dependent
on hydrology and certainly in the future, climate change.
Groundwater basins provide an important source of supplemental supply to the imported water
provided by MWD. A sustainably managed basin can provide a reliable source of low-cost
water, with groundwater costing half as much as imported water. The Orange County Water
District relies on rainfall, stormwater capture, Santa Ana River flows, untreated imported water
and recycled water for refilling its basin. This amount of water.

This diagram shows that water is added to the aquiter by pre.pdf
This diagram shows that water is added to the aquiter by precipitation and infiltration (soaking into
the ground) below streams and lakes. Precipitation in the Rocky Mountains is responsible for
much of the recharge of the Denver Basin aquifer system. Consider how the water level of the
aquifer might change if the dimate of the region were to become wetter or drier. Water is
subtracted from the aquifer at wells and natural springs. Consider how increasing or decreasing
the amount of water pumped out of the aquifer at wells would change the water level of the
aquifer. 3. Describe how changes in the climate of this region might affect the water level of the
aquifer. Changes in the climate of the region could afiect the water level or the aquifer in several
ways. If the climate became wetter, there could be more recharge, which would lead to an
increase in the water level of the aquifer. If the climate became drier, there would be less
recharge, which would lead to a decrease in the water level of the aquifer. 4. How might human
activities affect the water level of the aquifer?Estimated Water Use Estimated use of groundwater
from In 1884, when wells first began Denver Basin aquifer system, 1990 discharging water from
the Arapahoe aquifer, the water was used primarily for irrigation. The population was small,
livestock was not much of a factor, and large industries didn't exist. As the population changed,
however, so did water use patterns. Agricultural and industrial users still get much of their water
from the aquifer, but more of the water for public use now comes from surface water, which is
stored in reservoirs. Examine the graph of estimated groundwater use. 7. Rank the four types of
water use from the most water used to the least. 8. As population increases, new homes and
businesses are being built around the margin of the Denver metropolitan area. Which of the
current water use categories might increase in the future? Which might decrease? With population
increasing and annual rainfall remaining relatively constant, changes that might have been
responsible for raising the water level of the aquifer after 1960 could include the implementation of
more efficient irrigation practices, a decrease in the number of wells pumping water from the
aquifer, or changes in land use that led to more recharge..

Water is essential for life on Earth and makes up a large portion of the human body. It is part of a closed system through the hydrological cycle. Sydney's first European settlement was located near the Tank Stream due to its reliable water source, but it became polluted over time. Sydney now sources its water from several dams and reservoirs located far from the city, with the Prospect Water Filtration Plant treating 2,700 megalitres of water per day. Major pipelines and reservoirs distribute the treated water across Greater Sydney.
Lake restoration
This document discusses lake restoration methods. It begins with an introduction to lakes and their functions. It then discusses common causes of lake degradation, including nutrients, contaminants, and sediments from nonpoint sources. Methods to restore lakes are categorized as preventive/indirect or ameliorative/direct. Preventive methods include watershed alterations and waste diversion. Ameliorative methods include in-lake physical, chemical, and biological techniques as well as outside-lake treatments. A case study on Lake Anasagar in India is presented, outlining material/methods used to assess water quality and identify degradation factors. An integrated restoration plan for the lake focuses on catchment development and lake area development through sediment removal and design plans.
Environmental and Social Impacts of Hydro-Electric Dams in Chamba District o...
Having 4300 large dams already constructed and many more in pipeline, India is one of world's most prolific dam-builders. Large dams in India are estimated to have submerged about 37500 km2 land area and displaced tens of millions of people. Himachal Pradesh is proceeding towards power-surplus state and there are as many as 401 projects of different magnitude in different stages of installation on 5 river basins of the state i.e. Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Yamuna. State has identified its hydropower generation potential at 23,000 MW. The ecological devastation caused by various projects at lower altitudes of Himachal Pradesh has been alarming; while the prospect of what will happen to the fragile alpine ecosystem is frightening. These projects will change the microclimate that will result in accelerated melting of the snow and glaciers at high altitudes. Like other river basins of the state, hydro-electric power generation in Chamba district was started in 1980s, with 117 mini & micro power projects in different stages of execution at present. Having the special focus on Hul projects the present paper explores the impacts of various dams on environment and local people in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. About 6000 local people are being affected by Hul-I project only. The consequences to nature and wildlife will also prove disastrous. As of now, the wildlife such as deer, bear, goat, tiger and peacock do not enter the fields of farmers. Deforestation and soil erosion are even more devastating. Making the situation even more absurd is that the benefits of these power plants do not go to the community suffering the consequences. Gujjar and Gaddi tribes in the state of Himachal Pradesh have been agitating against 4.5 MW hydropower plant from diverting the entire flow of the Hul stream, on which their lives depend. These communities have for more than two decades protected and preserved the forests from which Hul stream originates. The project’s pipeline is said to destroy about 2000 of slow-growing oak trees. Livelihood and social impacts of poorly planned mini-hydel projects can be thus devastating, as exemplified in this case.

Ensuring a Safe, Sustainable Future Water Supply--Case Study
By 2060, water usage in Texas is projected to exceed available supply due to population growth. An additional 8.5 million acre-feet of new water sources per year will be needed. The document examines strategies proposed by the Texas Water Development Board to meet future demand, including increasing conventional sources by 60%, conservation by 24%, and developing alternative sources like desalination, brackish groundwater desalination, rainwater harvesting, aquifer storage and recovery, reuse, and emerging technologies to supply the remaining 16%. A diverse combination of solutions must be implemented to ensure a sustainable water supply for the state.
NHCRWA Fall 2011 Newsletter
The document discusses the history of drought in Texas based on paleoclimatological records. It notes that megadroughts have occurred in Texas lasting 20-40 years, including some in the 1100s-1200s and late 1500s. When the Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca arrived in Texas in the 1530s he encountered a population suffering from a drought of at least two years. Droughts also impacted settlers and colonies in the 1600s-1800s. The most severe drought on record was in the 1950s, but several major droughts have occurred since, including costly multi-year droughts in the 1980s and the current ongoing drought beginning in 2010.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how the Orange County Water District
(the District; OCWD) was able to insulate itself from public opposition to its potable reuse
project, the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS).
To understand what challenges the District would be facing it is important to first understand
what was happening with other projects that were being developed at the same time in
Southern California. Second, it is important to understand the process by which the outreach
program was developed and how it was executed. That program was ongoing and changed
with the project to help anticipate and react to various issues that developed. Finally, it will be
shown how important it is to continue the outreach efforts and outline the various steps the
District has taken to educate people on the benefits of reuse.
Introduction
The Orange County Water District manages a very large groundwater basin (basin) in central
and north Orange County in the state of California, U.S.A. It was created by the State
Legislature in 1933 for that purpose and is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors that
sets policy, establishes the amount of pumping out of the basin and sets tariffs. The District
currently has set the amount of groundwater that can be pumped out of the basin at 77% of the
total water demands for its 19 retail agencies which serve 2.5 million people. The remaining
23% of its water supply is dependent on water that is imported into the region.
The Southern California region has a semi-arid climate, which receives approximately 355 mm
of rainfall per year. Most of its water is imported from two primary outside sources, the
Colorado River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (the Delta) in Northern California. The
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) built a 320 km aqueduct in the
1930’s bringing water from the Colorado River into Southern California and then participated in
the building of a 640 km aqueduct in the 1960’s from Northern California to bring water from
the Delta to Southern California. These supplies are enough to meet the water demands in
most years, but they are variable and the amount of water through these systems is dependent
on hydrology and certainly in the future, climate change.
Groundwater basins provide an important source of supplemental supply to the imported water
provided by MWD. A sustainably managed basin can provide a reliable source of low-cost
water, with groundwater costing half as much as imported water. The Orange County Water
District relies on rainfall, stormwater capture, Santa Ana River flows, untreated imported water
and recycled water for refilling its basin. This amount of water.

This diagram shows that water is added to the aquiter by pre.pdf
This diagram shows that water is added to the aquiter by precipitation and infiltration (soaking into
the ground) below streams and lakes. Precipitation in the Rocky Mountains is responsible for
much of the recharge of the Denver Basin aquifer system. Consider how the water level of the
aquifer might change if the dimate of the region were to become wetter or drier. Water is
subtracted from the aquifer at wells and natural springs. Consider how increasing or decreasing
the amount of water pumped out of the aquifer at wells would change the water level of the
aquifer. 3. Describe how changes in the climate of this region might affect the water level of the
aquifer. Changes in the climate of the region could afiect the water level or the aquifer in several
ways. If the climate became wetter, there could be more recharge, which would lead to an
increase in the water level of the aquifer. If the climate became drier, there would be less
recharge, which would lead to a decrease in the water level of the aquifer. 4. How might human
activities affect the water level of the aquifer?Estimated Water Use Estimated use of groundwater
from In 1884, when wells first began Denver Basin aquifer system, 1990 discharging water from
the Arapahoe aquifer, the water was used primarily for irrigation. The population was small,
livestock was not much of a factor, and large industries didn't exist. As the population changed,
however, so did water use patterns. Agricultural and industrial users still get much of their water
from the aquifer, but more of the water for public use now comes from surface water, which is
stored in reservoirs. Examine the graph of estimated groundwater use. 7. Rank the four types of
water use from the most water used to the least. 8. As population increases, new homes and
businesses are being built around the margin of the Denver metropolitan area. Which of the
current water use categories might increase in the future? Which might decrease? With population
increasing and annual rainfall remaining relatively constant, changes that might have been
responsible for raising the water level of the aquifer after 1960 could include the implementation of
more efficient irrigation practices, a decrease in the number of wells pumping water from the
aquifer, or changes in land use that led to more recharge..

This manual from the Bureau of Reclamation discusses water measurement practices to improve water management. It provides guidance on selecting, operating, and maintaining water measurement devices and describes common open channel measurement methods such as weirs and flumes. The manual is intended to help water users and districts implement better water measurement programs that can lead to benefits like equitable water allocation, reduced losses, and improved conservation.
Water harvesting – a solution to drought & falling level of ground water ...
This document discusses water harvesting as a solution to drought and falling groundwater levels in India. It notes that 65% of India's population depends on agriculture, which relies on available water, but that due to factors like deforestation and industrialization, rainfall has decreased. This has led to more frequent droughts and increased pressure on groundwater. The document proposes that water harvesting, which means saving and storing every drop of rainwater, is the key to addressing frequent droughts and maintaining groundwater levels. It discusses traditional and modern water harvesting methods like rooftop collection, dams, and recharging groundwater. If implemented widely, water harvesting could help restore groundwater supplies and mitigate the effects of drought.
Hydraulic fracturing group final
This document discusses hydraulic fracturing and proposes potential economic solutions to address its environmental and social costs. It summarizes that while hydraulic fracturing is touted as an economic necessity, it poses risks to groundwater and emissions. It lacks oversight and does not account for all costs. The document proposes repealing the 2005 law exempting fracking from Clean Water Act oversight, implementing performance standards to limit water impacts, and requiring performance bonds to cover cleanup costs from spills. Passing the proposed 2012 FRAC Act could bring fracking under a single federal authority to oversee risks.
Why Xeriscaping Makes Good Sense - University of Georgia
Metro Atlanta is reaching the limits of its water resources due to population growth and increased landscaping. Xeriscaping, which uses principles like limited turf areas and water-efficient plants, can reduce outdoor water usage without sacrificing aesthetics. Xeriscaping benefits water authorities by extending limited water supplies, homeowners through reduced maintenance costs, and greenhouses that profit from increased plant and mulch sales. Xeriscaping makes good sense for conserving water resources.
California; Harvesting Rain: Addressing Water Needs of the Monterey Peninsu...
This capstone project examines the feasibility of harvesting rainwater from rooftops in the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) service area to help address the area's water needs. The author analyzed GIS data to determine there is 1.84 square miles of rooftop area available for capture. Statistical analysis of 58 years of rainfall data showed average annual rainfall in the area is 15.9 inches, yielding between 1434 and 1700 acre-feet of harvestable rainwater. However, this does not meet the need to replace the 9626 acre-feet currently being overdrafted from the Carmel River aquifer. While rainwater harvesting alone cannot solve the problem, the author concludes it could provide

This document discusses the use of hydrologic modeling, specifically the SPAW software, to determine the presence of wetland hydrology in agriculturally altered landscapes. It notes that the National Research Council recommended the use of monitoring or modeling to determine hydrology in these sites. The SPAW software has been recommended for over 25 years to model pothole water budgets and ponding durations for wetland determinations. The document presents a case study where SPAW modeling showed that a site did not meet the wetland hydrology criteria but the landowner still lost their appeal. It argues that hydrologic modeling is necessary to accurately assess wetland hydrology in drained landscapes.

The document summarizes the history, current state, and future plans of the Hanover Water Works Company. It describes how the original gravity flow water system was established in 1892 in response to fires. It also discusses how the system has expanded over time to meet increasing demand, with improvements like new reservoirs, raising dams, and adding chlorination and fluoridation in the 1950s. Currently, the aging pipes contribute to water quality issues. The Company plans to address this by implementing a $7 million capital improvement plan, including installing a membrane filtration system to improve water quality for customers.
WIA 2010 Awards - Keynote Speaker Trevor Hill, Global Water
Trevor Hill gave a keynote speech on future trends for managing arid cities. He discussed how cities in arid regions import all their fresh water and are vulnerable to drought. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will experience water scarcity. To manage scarce water supplies, arid cities will need to use more supply-side solutions like reservoirs and desalination, and shift to a total water management approach using tools like dual piping systems, aquifer storage and recovery, water reuse, demand-side management with water pricing and data, and regional collaboration. Sustainability in arid regions is possible if cities plan comprehensively for integrated water management.
Early on a spring morning in the town of Damascus, in northeastern.docx
Early on a spring morning in the town of Damascus, in northeastern Pennsylvania, the fog on the Delaware River rises to form a mist that hangs above the tree-covered hills on either side. A buzzard swoops in from the northern hills to join a flock ensconced in an evergreen on the river’s southern bank.
Stretching some 400 miles, the Delaware is one of the cleanest free-flowing rivers in the United States, home to some of the best fly-fishing in the country. More than 15 million people, including residents of New York City and Philadelphia, get their water from its pristine watershed. To regard its unspoiled beauty on a spring morning, you might be led to believe that the river is safely off limits from the destructive effects of industrialization. Unfortunately, you’d be mistaken. The Delaware is now the most endangered river in the country, according to the conservation group American Rivers.
That’s because large swaths of land—private and public—in the watershed have been leased to energy companies eager to drill for natural gas here using a controversial, poorly understood technique called hydraulic fracturing. “Fracking,” as it’s colloquially known, involves injecting millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals, many of them toxic, into the earth at high pressures to break up rock formations and release natural gas trapped inside. Sixty miles west of Damascus, the town of Dimock, population 1,400, makes all too clear the dangers posed by hydraulic fracturing. You don’t need to drive around Dimock long to notice how the rolling hills and farmland of this Appalachian town are scarred by barren, square-shaped clearings, jagged, newly constructed roads with 18-wheelers driving up and down them, and colorful freight containers labeled “residual waste.” Although there is a moratorium on drilling new wells for the time being, you can still see the occasional active drill site, manned by figures in hazmat suits and surrounded by klieg lights, trailers, and pits of toxic wastewater, the derricks towering over barns, horses, and cows in their shadows.
The real shock that Dimock has undergone, however, is in the aquifer that residents rely on for their fresh water. Dimock is now known as the place where, over the past two years, people’s water started turning brown and making them sick, one woman’s water well spontaneously combusted, and horses and pets mysteriously began to lose their hair.
Craig and Julie Sautner moved to Dimock from a nearby town in March 2008. They were in the process of renovating their modest but beautifully situated home on tree-canopied Carter Road when land men from Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas, a midsize player in the energy-exploration industry, came knocking on their door to inquire about leasing the mineral rights to their three and a half acres of land. The Sautners say the land men told them that their neighbors had already signed leases and that the drilling would have no impact whatsoever on their land. (Othe ...
SDS Whitepaper
Colorado Springs has a long history of planning for its water needs dating back to the 1870s. As the city grew further from water sources like Fountain Creek, it developed an extensive water collection and delivery system involving numerous reservoirs, pipelines, and transmountain diversion projects. The Southern Delivery System (SDS) was identified in Colorado Springs' 1996 Water Resource Plan as the major new delivery system needed to meet 55% of the city's future water demands, as existing systems were nearing capacity. SDS will be a regional project to transport water from Pueblo Reservoir through 62 miles of pipeline to Colorado Springs and partner communities. Phase I is currently under construction at an estimated cost of $880 million to be completed by 2016.
Finding Water Through Rain
Finding Water Through Rain introduces several
conservation alternatives in rainwater and stormwater
management. These concepts include greenway
acquisition, wetlands, cisterns, pervious concrete,
earthworks, native plants and green roofs. By
implementing these practices Atlanta could use rainwater
more efficiently.
Biohabitats, Inc.
The document discusses how urbanization and agriculture have led to the disappearance and degradation of headwater streams and wetlands. This has negatively impacted water quality, biodiversity, and nutrient processing. Regenerative stormwater conveyance and floating wetlands are proposed as nature-based solutions to help restore streams and wetlands by reconnecting water flows, storing and treating stormwater, and providing habitat. Case studies demonstrate their effectiveness at improving water quality and quantity while reducing costs.

Manzanita Village
Manzanita Village is a student housing complex at UCSB that originally faced challenges with stormwater management due to its proximity to vernal pools and the ocean. The project was redesigned with bioswales, wetlands, and experimental plant palettes to treat stormwater runoff naturally before discharge. Water quality testing showed significant reductions in nitrates and phosphates. The redesign created habitat, reduced pollution, and provided educational opportunities while lowering costs through less irrigation and maintenance needs.

EPA released draft ambient water quality criteria recommendations for lakes and reservoirs in May 2020. The draft uses stressor-response models based on new water quality data to derive chlorophyll-a, phosphorus, and nitrogen criteria. It recommends chlorophyll-a criteria ranges for different lake depths to protect aquatic life. Potential criteria derived from models show illustrative phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations corresponding to chlorophyll-a levels. The document's approach raises questions about the validity of nationwide models, adjustment to Texas conditions, and linking chlorophyll-a to nutrient criteria.

Texas is experiencing increasing extreme weather trends according to a state climatologist study. Monthly summer temperatures are seeing more 100 degree days with each little rise in average temperatures. Precipitation trends over the past century show increases across most of the state of 5-15% per century. Droughts and floods depend on a combination of factors including rainfall amounts, temperatures, timing of rain, and how much water plants need. The trends towards higher temperatures are enhancing evaporation and severe weather is increasing but not well understood. Everything fits together complicatedly to impact floods and droughts. A likely La Niña winter also tilts the odds toward a dry winter for Texas.

TDEM works with local governments and disaster districts to respond to incidents and request state or federal assistance when needed.
What You Need to Know About NOAA Atlas 14, Gregory Waller - National Oceanic ...
The document provides information about NOAA Atlas 14, which updated precipitation frequency estimates for Texas. Some key points:
- Atlas 14 analyzed over 3,900 weather stations and 60 years of data to develop new intensity-duration-frequency curves for precipitation events.
- The estimates generally show higher rainfall amounts than previous studies, with some locations up to 30% higher for certain storm durations and return periods.
- Notable events like Hurricane Harvey influenced some long-duration estimates. Atlas 14 provides more spatially refined data to help infrastructure planning and flood risk assessment.
- While an improvement, Atlas 14 still has limitations and uncertainties that may be addressed through future updates and complementary studies. The new precipitation frequency curves do

This document discusses sustainable produced water policy and management in the Texas oil and gas industry from 2019 onward. It defines produced water as water extracted during oil and gas production that may include formation water, injected water, and added fluids. The majority comes from Texas shale plays like the Permian Basin, which accounts for over 65% of the state's produced water volume. The goals of produced water policy in Texas are outlined, along with 2019 legislative activity and 10 policy recommendations. Meetings held by the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers in Washington D.C. with EPA, DOE, and legislators are summarized. The role of water midstream companies in infrastructure for sourcing, transporting, treating and recycling produced water is also

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

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.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
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.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
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.
