  2. Aquifer storage and recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_storage_and_recovery

    The first agriculture ASR wells were put into service in Oregon in the autumn of 2006 and have injected well over 3,000 acre-feet (3,700,000 m 3) of water during the winter and spring flood flow times using artificial recharge (AR) of flood water as their water source. This shallow recharged water is then recovered as potable water and injected ...

  3. Water sampler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_sampler

    Selection or a particular sampler type depends on the type of analysis to be performed (e.g. ambient water quality or wastewater), the type of water source (e.g. a lake or pond, small stream or large river, coastal waters or deep ocean) and other factors such as ambient environmental conditions (e.g. collection of stormwater during a rain event ...

  4. Rainwater harvesting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainwater_harvesting

    configuration of domestic rainwater harvesting system in Uganda. [1]Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the collection and storage of rain, rather than allowing it to run off.. Rainwater is collected from a roof-like surface and redirected to a tank, cistern, deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), aquifer, or a reservoir with percolation, so that it seeps down and restores the ground w

  5. Water supply network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_network

    A raw water collection point (above or below ground) where the water accumulates, such as a lake, a river, or groundwater from an underground aquifer. Raw water may be transferred using uncovered ground-level aqueducts , covered tunnels , or underground water pipes to water purification facilities.

  6. Underwater logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_logging

    Logs with a higher density than the density of water would sink. [2] Other logs would get caught in jams, sloughs, or floods, and become lodged in the riverbed. Such logs were often known as "sinkers" or "deadheads." Loggers attempted to reduce the number of logs which remained in the river in order to maximize profits, but some losses were ...

  7. Well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well

    Driven wells can be created in unconsolidated material with a well hole structure, which consists of a hardened drive point and a screen of perforated pipe, after which a pump is installed to collect the water. Deeper wells can be excavated by hand drilling methods or machine drilling, using a bit in a borehole. Drilled wells are usually cased ...

  8. Augsburg Eiskanal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augsburg_Eiskanal

    In Medieval times, the canals were used for drinking water, water wheel operation, and sewage disposal. In 1875, in order to collect drinking water from the upstream end of the system, a water collection and filtration plant was built straddling a new bypass branch of Capital Creek, near the dam. (In 2007 it was decommissioned and converted ...

  9. Atmospheric water generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

    State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.
