Human Development Does Not Change, Research Paper

(Bouman; Castaneda; Bhuiyan, 2002) Likewise another research by Berg, Tran et al. (2001) has shown that there is arsenic contamination of the Red River alluvial tract in the city of Hanoi and this happens owing to the nature of the subsoil that contains iron. There was observed about average concentration of 430 ?g/L. Analysis of raw groundwater pumped from the lower aquifer for the 'Hanoi water supply yielded arsenic levels of 240-320 ?g/L in three of eight treatment plants and 37-82 ?g/L in another five plants.' (Berg; Tran, et al., 2001)

As a solution to this some government-based researches have given the opinion that though the states and USGS have contributed state funds toward the effort, more funds will have to be added both for the maintain ace of the ground water, regulating it and conducting further research. Mapping the entire ground water resources is not a small project and it will take more than 170 years to complete this mapping in 'high-priority areas of the four states.' (Esham; Reimer, 2004) Therefore there is an imperative need to establish the national clearinghouse to identify sources of ground water data and then to use these resources and infra structure must be created to protect and regulate the ground water use. (Esham; Reimer, 2004)

The information and the hypothesis:

Cursory examination of these evidence shows that there is an issue that occurs with human activity and ground water.

Conclusion

The ground water is unique because it is different from the surface water that is found...

Human activities tend to cause the depletion of the water source, the pollution of the ground water by human activity. The effects of constantly removing water stored in the system, because of human activity have to be studied in depth and it is a very big task.
