BeneTerra
conducts cooperative research with the US Department of Energy-National
Energy Technology Laboratory and the US Geological Survey
BeneTerra works cooperatively with the National Energy Technology
Laboratory and the US Geological Survey to better understand the
intricacies of coal bed water management. Working under a Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with DOE and a Technical
Assistance Agreement (TAA) with USGS , we are learning much
about:
- Electromagnetic ground imaging techniques for
better site selection and management of produced
water irrigation systems
- Management of subsurface drip irrigation over shallow aquifers
- Groundwater recharge and the influence of nearby streams
- Geochemical interactions of coal bed water with soils and groundwater
