Oil and gas: Groundwater pollutants from oil and gas extraction sites could contaminate aquifer systems with saline waters. These pollutants may migrate from surface spillages into shallow aquifers.
Surface slope does not always indicate the direction a pollutant might flow once it gets into the ground. In shallow aquifers, groundwater often flows in the same direction as surface water. If the ...
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality proposed an aquifer-protection permit Wednesday for a uranium mine near Grand Canyon National Park, with a history of flooding. The mine flooding ...
The Edmonds Environmental Council (EEC) said Friday night that is has reached an agreement with the City of Edmonds to ...
The study also provided ways for the community to assist with protecting the Aquifer. That can include industries recycling water or using water from the shallow aquifer and brought in from the ...

Sulphuric acid is typically injected into the aquifer rock that contains the uranium to dissolve it. The mine then pumps out the aquifer water and removes the uranium. The process repeats until ...
