- 10:50, 10 June 2026 Glossary of groundwater and groundwater-related terms (hist | edit) [25,417 bytes] Ajhil (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{Underconstruction}} ==Glossary of groundwater and groundwater-related terms== A Absorption The process by which substances in gaseous, liquid, or solid form dissolve or mix with other substances. Abstraction, Q [m³/d, m³/a] The removal of water from a groundwater reservoir, usually by pumping. Adsorption Adherence of gas molecules, ions, or molecules to the surface of the solids. Advection Mass transport caused by the bulk movement of flowing groundwater in wh...")

They have also been found to have an adverse effect on human health. In adults, exposure to elevated Mn concentrations in drinking water has been associated with mang...")

Download the Baseline Scotland: the Lower Devonian aquifer of Strathmore report. Baseline data Main findings The collection and interpretation of new groundwater chemistry data for the Strathmore area has led to the following conclusions:...")

The samples were collected between 2002 and 2006. Permian aquifers in southern Scotland were not included in this study; they will be reported on separately.

Coverage of baseline sampling in the Moray Firth against a simplified 1: 625 000 scale geology map. A total of 39 groundwater samples have been interpreted to investigate the groundwater chemistry of the Old Red Sandstone aquifers in the Moray Firth area. Of these, 17 were collected in 2007 specifically for the Baseline S...")

Of these, 36 were from new groundwater samples collected for the Baseline Scotland project in September and December 2008 and one from a sample collected during an earlier Baseline Scotland sampling programme in the Borders. These were augmented with a further 25 samples collected dur...")
- 11:59, 5 June 2026 Aberdeenshire (hist | edit) [6,542 bytes] Ajhil (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{Underconstruction}} ===Aberdeenshire=== A total of 37 samples from Precambrian and igneous aquifers in Aberdeenshire are included in the Baseline dataset, collected between 2004 and 2006 (see map below). The sites for samples were chosen so that the Baseline data would be representative of groundwater across Aberdeenshire, within each of the studied aquifer types. Four aquifer groups have been identified: three divisions of metamorphic aquifers of Dalradian age, the A...")
