Béchar Province

The greater part of the province is uninhabitable sand dune fields (ergs), in particular the Great Western Erg and the Erg Er Raoui, or dry plains (hamadas) suitable for grazing but with insufficient surface water to support agriculture.

Chitinimonas taiwanensis

Chitinimonas taiwanensis is a gram-negative, chitinolytic, catalase and oxidase-positiv motile bacterium with a single flagellum from the genus of Chitinimonas and the family of Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from the surface water from a freshwater pond for shrimps (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in Ping-Tung in Southern Taiwan.

Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary

Gale winds and the Earth's rotation drive surface water away from the shore, only to be replaced by an upwelling of colorer, deeper, and more nutrient-rich waters from offshore.

Dallol Bosso

Dallol is the Djerma language equivalent of the Arabic Wadi or the Hausa Kori: an ancient river valley which carries surface water in the rainy season, but maintains subsurface water at other times, making it a magnet for human habitation.

Eve Andree Laramee

This work zeroes-in on sites where Uranium mining/milling, plutonium production for nuclear weaponss and the nuclear energy industry have contaminated surface water, well water and deep aquifer water with radioactive isotopes and her work archives this atomic legacy.

Water supply and sanitation in Belgium

In Mons surface water from the Maas is treated to provide another 30% of the city's water needs; in Vedrin, part of Namur, water is pumped from an abandoned Pyrite mine; springs in Genappe, wells in Waterloo and Zaventem, and mines in Ligny and Écaussinnes provide the remainder of Brussel's water supply.
