The rate of drilling water wells and boreholes in Jos Plateau State has been significant in recent years. These activities are driven by the need to provide reliable water 💦 sources to communities, both in rural and urban areas. if this remains uncheck, extraction of groundwater can lead to a significant drop in water table levels, potentially causing wells to dry up and reducing water availability for future generations😔. something needs to be done🤔 to address this issue, we need to get alternative sources of water 💦 like harvesting 🌧️ rainwater in a larger scale and also finding ways we can replenish or sustain our underground source of water (MAR).#water #sustainable

Groundwater is water that dwells underground in the cracks and spaces between rocks and sediment. It is a vital resource, providing drinking water for over half the world’s population. However, groundwater is susceptible to contamination from pollutants such as gasoline, pesticides, heavy metals, and household products. Contamination can occur due to both natural sources and human activity. When water flows underground, it can absorb substances from rocks and soil, such as iron, manganese, chlorides, and fluorides. Human activities that release chemicals and pollutants into the environment can also lead to groundwater contamination. Septic systems, particularly those that are improperly designed or maintained, are one of the main causes of groundwater contamination. The natural purification processes for contaminated groundwater can take decades or even hundreds of years, even if the source of contamination is cut off. Contaminated groundwater can impact human health, the environment, and socioeconomic development. Preventing groundwater contamination is essential. Some measures that can be taken include properly disposing of waste, safely storing chemicals, minimizing chemical use, frequently inspecting underground storage tanks and septic systems for leaks, and planting grasses and plants native to the region. The burden of natural purification is high, and human activities can significantly exacerbate this process. It is therefore crucial to take proactive steps to prevent groundwater contamination and protect this valuable resource. #groundwater #groundwatercontamination #naturalpurification

Are there any nations in the Middle East that have seas or oceans near by? It seems like many nations have water issues. Why isn't desalination used more? Is it true that Reverse Osmosis desalination produces equal amounts of water and concentrated brine: 1 cubic meter of drinking water produces how many cubic meters of brine? https://lnkd.in/dKqS7Z6P

As summer approaches and water scarcity in Jordan affects more people nationwide, you start seeing water tanks on Jordanian roads to provide houses with water, as the municipality's share of water for individuals drops every year. temporary measures can only reduce the pressure people face in their daily lives. With longer heat waves expected, water demand will rise. The only solution is a seawater desalination plant, which we have been hearing about since we were kids. Until now, no concrete measures have been achieved in this regard. Still, Jordan aims to capitalize on the abundance of renewable energy to become an exporter of Green Hydrogen to Europe, forgetting the clear fact that people don't have access to water, and the industrial sector doesn't have reliable access to water. The perennial question persists: when will Jordan address its pressing issues? As long as we maintain separate authorities for water, agriculture, and the environment, we can hardly anticipate meaningful solutions to the challenges that relegate us to the status of a struggling nation. you can read more about Jordan water Aquifers: 1- Vassolo, S. i.

Let’s raise Groundwater again. Water on the earth is in motion through the hydrological cycle. The utilisation of water for most of the users i.e. human, animal or plant involve movement of water. The dynamic and renewable nature of the water resources and the recurrent need for its utilisation requires that water resources are measured in terms of its flow rates. Thus water resources have two facets. The dynamic resource, measured as flow is more relevant for most of developmental needs. The static or fixed nature of the reserve, involving the quantity of water, the length of area of the water bodies is also relevant for some activities like pisciculture, navigation etc. Both these aspects are discussed below. The ground water is our current bank of water that is feeding all of us. This source is declining rapidly, it’s high time to define our rainwater as main source and design our technologies to prevent depletion of groundwater. Let’s use rainwater through rooftop rainwater filters and recharge surface rainwater for better water future. Time to evolve with Rainwater Harvesting !

What you’re watching is not just a pretty flow, it's the journey of a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPLs) moving through a heterogeneous #environment, interacting with different soil types and layers. These layers have varying permeability, meaning the DNAPLs  may move quickly through one part while barely moving through another. This behavior creates complex contamination patterns that are challenging to predict and address. 👉 Why does this matter? Non-aqueous phase liquids are some of the most stubborn contaminants to clean up. They don't dissolve easily and can create long-term groundwater contamination issues, often persisting for decades if not properly managed. Unlike other #pollutants, non-aqueous phase liquid tend to sink through water until they reach an impermeable layer, where they can pool and act as a continuous source of contamination. The way they move depends on the soil structure layers of sand, clay, and the invisible pathways formed within. These invisible pathways, or preferential flow paths, are crucial because they determine where the contaminant will travel. Understanding these dynamics helps scientists and engineers develop better, more targeted remediation techniques, such as: 💧 In-situ #chemical oxidation to break down contaminants 🌿 Bioremediation strategies to mitigate contamination effectively 📢 Over to you! Have you worked with non-aqueous phase liquid #contaminated sites?
