The time has passed when witching, drilling a test hole and finding good formation is adequate to site a new well for a drinking water supply. Quality, quantity and aquifer management must all be thoroughly evaluated when developing or expanding a groundwater supply. Four case histories that do just that follow. New appropriations for groundwater rights in the Garden City, Kan. area have been frozen for several years. A public-private partnership between Wheatland Electric Cooperative and the City of Garden City was used to solve local problems with water rights and water quality. Wheatland converted existing industrial water rights and constructed a 6.5 million-gallon-per day (MGD) reverse osmosis blended treatment plant to sell water to potential customers. Several customers are now being served, and there has been interest by several industries in buying water. Economic development in Garden City community is back on track because of the availability of good quality groundwater, properly managed.
Products & Services
Groundwater monitoring equipment includes pumps and other instruments that tap into the water table for water quality assessment, testing for pollutants, and the identification of other compounds.
Remediation services include oil or chemical spill clean up, restoration of contaminated sites, and hazardous waste management. Common projects include oil collection, asbestos removal, spill vacuuming, brown field rehabilitation, soil recovery and river dredging.
Air strippers are used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and other contaminants from groundwater and wastewater.
Dewatering equipment uses force, including vacuum and centrifugal motion, to separate water from solids.
Activated carbon is used to remove pollutants from air or water streams, both in the field and in industrial processes such as spill cleanup, groundwater remediation, drinking water filtration, air purification, and the capture of VOCs.
