The study reveals natural discharge of groundwater from the deeper Nubian
aquifer into the shallower alluvial
aquifer.
Groundwater recharge, defined as the addition of water to the
aquifer once it has reached the water table, can happen in several ways:
By being a sole-source
aquifer, the water has come under both state and federal regulations and has been the subject of lawsuits by private and industrial groups claiming the state has overstepped its authority.
There is a lot of potential in the groundwater, but it can only be used sustainably if we understand the amount of water in the underground
aquifers, the water quality, how the
aquifers refill themselves, and how much of the water can be abstracted without depleting the storage, said Calvince Wara, research operations manager for Rural Focus.According to Pamela Ogada, the general manager at Kwale Sugar, yields from irrigated agriculture are always higher than those from rain-fed agriculture.
Several other scientists (Jeong et al., 2005; Ozebo et al., 2008; Rao et al., 2008) have used electrical resistivity technique for demarcation of bedrock, estimation of
aquifer properties,
aquifer extension, and
aquifer thickness in relation with hydrogeology of the study area.
"It will also give the scientists a much better understanding of where and at what depth the clays, silts, sands and gravels are located in the
aquifer."
He was of the view that mining operations at block-II are continuously depressurizing 2nd and 3rd
aquifer only to reach target coal depth of 180 meters through the network of 27 dewatering wells installed in the periphery of mine in an area of around 1.5 Km in Block-II.
Manhattan, NY, November 17, 2017 --(PR.com)-- New data shows that a majority of the world's largest underground
aquifers the predominant sources of our drinking water are being depleted faster than they can be refilled.
The EAC is a supporting organization that funds and establishes programs supporting the mission and work of the Edwards
Aquifer Authority.
"Overall the
aquifer is better quality than it has been at the Idaho National Lab," Bartholomay said.
