The use of Sephadex G-10 gel chromatography with a groundwater mobile-phase to separate bound and free cobalt in concentrated groundwater samples has proven to be a relatively non-invasive technique for the investigation of groundwater chemistry. Trace amounts of cobalt as would be expected to be released from a radioactive waste repository do exhibit association with groundwater species from a test site near the Drigg low-level nuclear waste site in Cumbria.

This thesis examines place-based water resources planning in Oregon’s Malheur Lake Basin and analyzes the extent to which pluralistic governance has the capacity to transform conflict in groundwater governance regimes. It provides a qualitative analysis of current literature on groundwater governance and uses process tracing to extract best practices from three case studies to identify best practices in pluralistic groundwater governance specifically as they apply to the Malheur Lake Basin. Findings suggest that in addition to a pluralistic governance structure composed of community-based processes and state-based enforcement mechanisms, conflict transformation is the most appropriate lens through which to address groundwater conflicts and disputes and should be an integral component of groundwater governance structures.

Diante deste contexto geológico o modelo de aqüífero considerado na área do condomínio é o fraturado, tornando-se importante a caracterização estrutural do maciço rochoso com ênfase nas descontinuidades. No condomínio Villa Verde existem dois poços artesianos, sendo que o primeiro foi feito durante a construção do condomínio e o segundo poço foi perfurado em 2002, quando o consumo de água do condomínio se tornou maior que a capacidade de produção do primeiro poço. Após a realização de um estudo geológico e geofísico para determinar a melhor localização do poço na área do condomínio, ele foi locado e perfurado, mas o poço não produziu água. Visando a problemática da água na região e as dificuldades de exploração em ambiente de aqüífero fraturado, este trabalho buscou integrar estudos geológicos e estruturais com dados de poços perfurados na região, com o intuito de dar suporte à programação e interpretação dos ensaios geofísicos. Os estudos desenvolvidos neste trabalho tiveram um foco prático e voltado para a definição de estruturas com potencial para abrigar um aqüífero do tipo fraturado, utilizando a geofísica como ferramenta para investigar essas estruturas em subsuperficie, auxiliando na avaliação de viabilidade do alvo definido que, para este estudo, foi o Condomínio Villa Verde / This work discuss the use of geophysics methods in the study of groundwater in the city of Araçariguama – SP, specifically in the area of Condomínio Residencial Villa Verde that is geologically located over the São Roque granitoid and the shales of Serra do Itaberaba Formation. Because of this geological context, the considered aquifer model is fractured, making important emphasize the descontinuity in the structural characterization of bedrock. There are in the Villa Verde two boreholes, the first one was done during the construction of Villa Verde and the second one was drilled in 2002 when the first borehole could not support the demand for water in Villa Verde anymore. After a geological and geophysical study in the area to determine the best location for the borehole, it was perforated but did not produced water. Considering the problems with water in this area and the exploration difficulties of fractured aquifers, this work seeks the integration of geological and structural studies with dates boreholes in the region where the area is located. The aim is support the interpretation and program of geophysical survey. This study had a practical focus that aimed the definition of potential structures able to have a fractured aquifer. The use here of geophysics as a resource to investigate these structures in the ground intend to be an auxiliary to evaluate the viability of defined target, which for this study were the “Condomínio Villa Verde”
