  2. Chalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk

    Additionally, chalk is the only form of limestone that commonly shows signs of compaction. [8] Flint (a type of chert) is very common as bands parallel to the bedding or as nodules in seams, or linings to fractures, embedded in chalk. It is probably derived from sponge spicules [4] or other siliceous organisms as water is expelled upwards ...

  3. Chalk stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk_stream

    The products of chalk weathering are dissolved in rainwater and are transported in stream flow. Chalk streams transport little suspended material (unlike most rivers), but are considered "mineral-rich" due to the dissolved calcium and carbonate ions. The surface water of chalk streams is commonly described as "gin clear".

  4. Water cycle management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle_management

    Water treatment is any process that is used to remove contaminants from water and to improve the quality of water. Treated water can be allocated as drinking water for households, supply for industrial or agricultural use and the treatment method depends on the purpose of the end-use. Also, water treatment is used to safely return water to the ...

  5. Chalk Group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk_Group

    The Chalk Group is now divided into a White Chalk Subgroup and a Grey Chalk Subgroup, both of which are further subdivided into formations. These modern divisions replace numerous earlier divisions, references to which occur widely on geological maps and in other geological literature.

  6. Wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_treatment

    Sewage treatment plant (a type of wastewater treatment plant) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater. It thus converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once back in the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment.

  7. Geology of Yorkshire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Yorkshire

    The chalk formation of the hills provides exceptionally good drainage, with the result that most of these valleys are dry; indeed, surface water is quite scarce throughout the Wolds. Typically the valleys are hard to see from above, creating the visual impression that the landscape is much flatter than is actually the case.

  8. Dissolved air flotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_air_flotation

    Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank basin. The released air forms ...

  9. Niobrara Formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niobrara_Formation

    Niobrara Chalk was weathered and opalized in the Valentine phase of the Ogallala Formation. The Niobrara Formation / ˌ n aɪ. ə ˈ b r ær ə /, also called the Niobrara Chalk, is a geologic formation in North America that was deposited between 87 and 82 million years ago during the Coniacian, Santonian, and Campanian stages of the Late ...
