Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteriological Quality in Some Hand-Dug well Water as Source of Drinking Water in Ban Village, Plateau State, NigeriaDawang Denaan Noel, Aricha Anthony Aduma, John Deh HappinessAccess to potable water and healthy environment has been a concern worldwide. Developing nation like Nigeria has been facing critical challenge in accessing safe drinking water. Therefore, the people still depend on unsafe water sources such as rivers, streams and hand dug wells. This study examined the bacteriological quality of 16 drinking dug well water in four selected communities (Bantin, … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSedimentology and Ichnology of Late Oligocene Delta Front Reservoir Sandstone Deposit, Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Niger DeltaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiSedimentological and ichnological study of cored reservoir sands correlated with wireline logs between two wells, 0.8 km distance apart along dip direction, enabled vertical and cross sectional facies variability assessment aimed at determining intra sand-body continuity in longitudinal or down-dip direction; and sub-environments of deposition and factors that controlled depositional processes. Ten lithofacies described 62 meters cores of the reservoir … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 30 Jul 2015 · 7,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF AQUIFER PARAMETERS IN ERHO, NIGERIA USING THE COOPER-JACOB EVALUATION METHODOchuko Anomohanran, Ruth E. Iserhien-EmekemeThe aim of this study was to determine the aquifer parameters in Erho, Nigeria. This was carried out by drilling three test wells and three observation wells in the study location. Water was pumped from the test wells at a constant rate while the drawdown in the observation wells was determined as a function of time. The data obtained were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 12 Nov 2014 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization, Concentrations and Emission Rates of Volatile Organic Compounds from Two Major Landfill Sites in KuwaitMohammad AlAhmad, Marwan Dimashki, Abdallah Nassour, Michael NellesProblem statement: The emission of pollutants from landfill sites in Kuwait is of major concern due to the associated adverse environmental and health impacts. There are 18 landfill sites in Kuwait which are contributing to the emission of atmospheric pollutants including; methane, carbon dioxide and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Approach: Determine the concentration and composition of VOCs in LFG emissions … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeographical Information System Techniques for Evaluation of Groundwater QualityShahram Ashraf, Hossein Afshari, Abdol Ghaffar EbadiProblem Statement: The present paper tries to assess groundwater suitability for irrigation purpose in Damghan plain (5400 ha). Approach: Twenty four water samples were collected from the active wells. Parameters such as Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), were recorded in the field and major anions and cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, CO32-, HCO3-, Cl-, SO42- and NO3-) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,123 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWellbore Surveying While Drilling Based on Kalman FilteringMahmoud ElGizawy, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Jacques Georgy et al.Problem statement: Oil and gas are global fuels obtained primarily from drilling wells in underground terrestrial reservoirs. Vertical drilling is preferred because of its simplicity and therefore low cost, but subsurface targets can often be procured only by directing the wellbore along predefined non-vertical trajectories. For instance, directional drilling must be employed to reach locations inaccessible to the drilling rig, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,577 accessesView PDFCite
