(2006-09)
In this work, the adsorptive features of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) derived biochar for sequestration of
ciprofloxacin and caffeine from aqueous solution is reported. The isothermal behaviour, adsorption kinetics, ...
Environmental impact assessment of risk associated with groundwater overdraft remediation in cone of depression, Jining, China
(Environmental Geology, 2007-03-21)
In this paper, a simple scenario and probabilistic approach is used to assess the potential groundwater risk due to proposed overdraft remedial actions in cone of depression, Jining City, China. Focusing on the concentrations ...
Groundwater overdraft vulnerability and environmental impact assessment in Arusha
(Environmental Geology, 2006-07-11)
A simple approach is proposed for identifying areas vulnerable to groundwater overdraft. The methodology utilizes GIS techniques to analyze and evaluate controlling factors in areas with little data. The proposed methodology ...
