Contaminant sorption and flow in subsurface environment (12 points) An aquifer is contaminated due to a recent spill of a certain industrial solvent. The aquifer has a hydraulic head difference of 0.01 m as measured by two piezometers about 2 m apart along the direction of groundwater flow. The aquifer has a porosity of 0.3, organic carbon бс) of 1.7%, soil particle density of 2.6 g/cm3, and hydraulic conductivity (K) of 2.5 x 103 cm/sec The solvent has a log...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
In your judgement, and given only the facts described in this case, should the management of Massey energy Company be held morally responsible for the deaths of the 29 miners? Explain in detail. Suppose that nothing more is learned about the explosion other than what is described in this case. Do you think Don Blankership should be held morally responsible for the deaths of the 29 miners? Explain in detail. Given only the facts described in this case, should the...
