Tuesday Top of the Scroll: New study allows regional prediction of uranium in groundwater
Stanford researchers have identified the trigger that causes naturally occurring uranium to dislodge from sediments and seep into groundwater…The research indicates that calcium concentrations and soil alkalinity are key determining factors of uranium groundwater contamination in California’s Central Valley. The findings will be especially important as water managers plan for a future with more people and less water available from snowpack in a warming world.
