Carbonate Aquifers, Andros Island and You!
This discussion topic submitted by Hays Cummins (haysc@muohio.edu) at 17:14 on 2/26/99. Additions were last made on Friday, March 26, 1999.
Hi Jon,I like your topic.
Some suggestions:
- I would introduce the class to the concept of an aquifer. How to they form? Are there any differences between carbonate and other aquifers in terms of residence times, vulnerability to pollution, etc.?
- Andros Island supplies most of the drinking water to New Providence Island via transport by boat. What is the water budget for Nassau?
- Any idea as to how many people an island such as San Salvador can support just using wells?
That's it for now.
