An Investigation of Ground Water Aquifer Characteristics of Sarcee Reserve

Authored by Roger Saint-Fort

This study investigates the ground water aquifer characteristics used domestically by the residents of Sarcee Reserve. Local flow systems in the sub-horizontal sandstones and shales probably occur with the well fractured sandstone units acting as collectors for the downward moving ground water of overlying units. Four basic types of ground waters were identified based on the major ions chemistry. The Na, K-HCO3, CO3 type represents 56% of the ground water samples and is most representative of moderate to deep bedrock. A mixed type dominated by SO4-2 or HCO3- anions and either Ca, Mg, or Na, K cations form 30% of this classification. Typically found in ground water discharge areas. A Ca, Mg-HCO3, CO3 type represents 8% of the ground water of this type and occurs in relatively shallow fractured bedrock. The NaSO4 chemical type represents 6% of the ground water samples. It is generally associated with ground waters in surficial deposits. TDS in the ground water samples ranged from 249 to 1600 mg/L. Ground water aquifer quality on the reserve is generally good. Reported poor ground water quality in many instances may be directly attributed to poor well materials and construction. Flavor may be affected by geogenic sources of minerals dissolved in its matrix or products of bacteriological growths. However, repeated presence of objectionable taste, odor, or color in the water may cause the community to question its safety for domestic use.

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Impact of Various Levels of Phosphorus on Wheat (CV.PIRSABAK-2013) Authored by Sajid Islam Abstract An experiment was conducted at Cereals Crops Research Institute Pirsabak Nowhere on 'Impact of various levels of phosphorus on Wheat (cv. PIRSABAK-2103) during winter 2014-15. The experiment consisted of single factor i.e. phosphorus levels 0, 45, 60, 75 and 90 kg ha -1 . The experiment was carried out in simple randomized complete block (RCB) design, having three replications. Sub plot size was 5m x 1.8m. Row to row distance was kept as 30 cm. Agronomical treatments were kept the same for all the plots. Leaf area tiller -1 , days to heading, days to physiological maturity, plant height, spikes m -2 , spike length, grains spike -1 , thousands grains weight, biological yield and grain yield were significantly (p<0.05) affected by various levels of phosphorus. Maximum weight of thousand grai

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources The European Social Innovation Competition Lottery Authored by Luigi Antonio Pezone Introduction I participate in the "2018 European Social Innovation Competition" even though this competition is a real lottery, to make known my environmental solutions, which go beyond this competition, because, I believe that the current model of development is unsustainable and cannot be understood by those who do not observe the development from different scientific and practical points of view that can be acquired only after many years of transversal experiences, which modern society does not allow to acquire, as it rewards specialists in individual sectors. Global reasoning is essential to develop sustainable innovative social projects. But it is also difficult that these projects can be understood by the judges of these types of competitions, if they do not know the global design project. Indeed,

Plant Microbiomes and Its Beneficial Multifunctional Plant Growth Promoting Attributes-Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Plant Microbiomes and Its Beneficial Multifunctional Plant Growth Promoting Attributes Authored by Ajar Nath Yadav Abstract Plant microbiome (Epiphytic, endophytic and rhizospheric) plays important role in plant growth, development, and soil health. Plant and rhizospheric soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of microbes, and it plays critical roles in the maintenance of global nutrient balance and ecosystem function. The diverse group of microbes is key components of soil-plant systems, where they are engaged in an intense network of interactions in the rhizosphere/phyllospheric/endophytic. The microbes with plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes have emerged as an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. PGP microbes promote plant growth and development directly or indirectly, either by releasing plant growth regulators/phytohormones;
