Drainage

Geologically, Greensboro is situated at the headwaters of the Cape Fear River Basin, the biggest of the 17 noteworthy waterway bowls in North Carolina. The Reedy Fork Creek and Buffalo Creek bowl (Figure 1) in Greensboro are framed from precipitation that keeps running off impenetrable and pervious surfaces, and from water that leaks up from neighborhood springs and in the long run winds up in the Ocean, only south of Wilmington, NC. The bowl is situated in a move zone between warm-mild and…

ABSTRACT: Acid mine drainage has a prominent and damaging effect on the environment. This paper outlines the environmental impact, the chemistry behind the acid generation, and methods of treatment. The objective of this paper is to educate the reader about acid mine drainage, and what can be done to reduce this pollutant. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Acid mine drainage (AMD) often occurs at abandoned mining sites. Acid generation is the result of combining certain minerals, water, and an oxidant.…

Since the 1970s, over 23.5 million pounds of copper and zinc has flowed out of the Iron Mountain Mine due to mining activities (Sickles 2013). Pollution from mines is disastrous because they contaminate the nearby river systems. Due the severity of the pollution at the Iron Mountain Mine, the EPA had to pass necessary measures to decrease the amount of pollution present in the surrounding water systems through the process of remediation (EPA 2015). The EPA has enacted several measures to…

Australian Rail Track Corporation LTD 2005 define a railway ballast as; free draining coarse aggregate or metallurgical slag used to support railway tracks. It is recommended that ballast should be “hard durable and as far as possible angular along edges/corners, free from weathered portions of parent rock, organic impurities and inorganic residues” (Reference) Rocks which contain minerals which are deemed harmful to the longevity and behaviour of the ballasts may be rejected following…

Background: Drainage is a common procedure in total knee replacement (TKR), but its effectiveness is controversial. Some studies have claimed that drainage decreases the risk of articular effusion and hematoma formation. However, some studies have demonstrated that drainage increases postoperative blood loss and does not improve the surgical result. Several studies have examined the use of drainage, but they have not involved early functional outcomes after TKR. Objectives: The aim of this…

Company in Des Moines filed a lawsuit against three drainage districts north of the city on the Raccoon and Des Moines Rivers. They claim that there are massive problems with nitrates in Des Moines drinking water supplies. The company seems to believe that the nitrates have come from farm fields throughout the three districts: Sac, Calhoun, and Buena Vista countries. They claim that the nitrates leached out of agricultural fields into the drainage tiles which then ended up in the river and…

suction to pull drainage away from the wound. Drainage flows through a tube to a container outside of the body. The two most common types of active drains are bulb drains and Hemovac drains. • Passive drains. These drains allow fluid to drain naturally, by gravity. Drainage flows through a tube to a bandage (dressing) or a container outside of the body. The most common type of passive drain is the Penrose drain. A drain is placed during surgery. Immediately…

In the Florida Everglades ecosystem, Phosphorous is the main nutrient that the South Florida Water Management District is attempting to control. Phosphorous is the same nutrient that is a contributing factor to the algae problem in Lake Erie. In South Florida, the main source of drinking water stems from underground aquifers made of porous limestone, that is refilled via the everglades(NPS,2016). In our region, the main source for drinking water for cities, stems from Lake Erie. Thus,…
