A fire ban got underway this week in 54 counties of Georgia, according to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The ban is in place until Sept. 30 to help diminish air issues surrounding ...
Underground fluids, particularly groundwater, create anomalies for superconducting gravity data which help study the fault zone at depth. [27] The method combines gravitational data and groundwater conditions to determine not only the permeability of a fault zone but also whether the fault zone is active or not.
Groundwater is water that is found underground in cracks and spaces in the soil, sand and rocks. Where water has filled these spaces is the phreatic (also called) saturated zone. Groundwater is stored in and moves slowly (compared to surface runoff in temperate conditions and watercourses) through layers or zones of soil, sand and rocks: aquifers.
On its website, the state Department of Environmental Protection lists groundwater conditions as "extremely dry," the worst category, in northern New Jersey as well as the upper Jersey Shore ...
Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer .
Initial damages from around the state were estimated at $250 million. On September 26, Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine raised the estimated cost to $500 million with the potential for it to rise. Some 20,000 homes, businesses and other buildings received major damage and 17 Georgia counties received Federal Disaster Declarations ...
