SALINE WATER POLLUTION IN GROUNDWATER: ISSUES AND ITS CONTROL

Groundwater Pollution Control

Groundwater is an important source of potable water because it is abundant and readily available in many locations and often requires little or no treatment. In 1995, groundwater accounted for approximately 20% of potable water use in the U.S., and approximately 50% of the U.S. population relied on groundwater for their source of drinking water. In most European countries, groundwater accounts ...

Agricultural best management practices for water pollution control: current issues

From the first awareness of agricultural sources of water pollution in the US in the 1960s, we finally see in the 1990s a commitment at the national level for agricultural non-point source (NPS) pollution control. This has been occasioned by a growing awareness that, with point sources of some pollutants largely controlled by waste-water treatment, greater attention must be paid to NPS pollutio...

Liability issues in pollution control

Biology and Water Pollution Control

The Gm and In V allotypes of serum are inherited in Mendelian fashion and their existence imposes important constraints on current theories of immunoglobulin synthesis. The incidences of particular factors vary markedly with different population groups, a fact of anthropological interest. In medico-legal investigations allotypes can aid in cases of disputed parentage (both paternal and maternal...

Groundwater quality assessment using the water quality pollution indices in Toyserkan Plain

Background: Iran is located within the dry and semi dry regions, thus almost 90% of the required water is secured via the use of groundwater. Owing to the increasing pollution of water resources, this study was performed to evaluate water quality pollution indices for heavy metals (As, Zn, Pb and Cu) contamination monitoring in Toyserkan Plain during spring and summer in 2012. Methods: A tot...
