Relationship of regional water quality to aquifer thermal energy storage

Description: Ground-water quality and associated geologic characteristics may affect the feasibility of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system development in any hydrologic region. This study sought to determine the relationship between ground-water quality parameters and the regional potential for ATES system development. Information was collected from available literature to identify chemical and physical mechanisms that could adversely affect an ATES system. Appropriate beneficiation techniques to … more

Patterns of United States mortality for ten selected causes of death

Description: Income, ethnicity, education, and occupation are examples of socio-economic factors associated with the occurrence of disease, whether an investigation focuses on an individual or on an aggregation of individuals. In this study, data aggregated to the county level are used to explore two issues - geographic variation and geographic covariation of ten selected causes of death in the United States. The counties of the United States are characterized by 15 socio-economic variables and age-adjusted… more

Short-term nitrogen dioxide modeling: currently available models and the applications and development needed for energy assessment

Description: The rapid increase in US coal consumption projected for the near future is likely to result in, among other things, increased concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and other nitrogenous pollutants in the ambient atmosphere. The design and siting of new coal utilization facilities could be constrained by the potential promulgation of a short-term ambient air quality standard for nitrogen dioxide and by other regulations. To assess the extent and pattern of such constraints, appropriate air quality … more

Institutional constraints on alternative water for energy: a guidebook for regional assessments

Description: Basic information is presented about the legal, political, and social constraints faced by energy developers in the acquisition of water from underground, irrigation return flow, municipal waste, and saline sources. It is a guide to those institutional constraints which are general and pronounced enough to be important for regional assessments. First, attention was focused on the acquisition phase of the water use cycle. Second, constraints were analyzed primarily from a regional, rather than s… more

Satellite power system (SPS). Rectenna siting: availability and distribution of nominally eligible sites

Description: Siting of 60 ground receiving stations (rectennas) for the SPS may pose a problem due to the large area per rectenna (15,000 hectares, 38,000 acres) and numerous siting constraints. This study analyzes areas potentially eligible for rectenna sites by mapping, at a national scale, those conditions which would preclude rectenna construction. These exclusion variables which reflect restricted lands, topography, safety, national policy and electromagnetic (microwave) effects, have been computer enc… more
