Removing or draining water from a riverbed, construction site, caisson, or mine shaft, by pumping or evaporation. mitigation mitigation Lowering of the groundwater level to prevent the groundwater table to reach polluted sites. dewatering remediation remediation Remediation in general. The removal of pollution or contaminants from groundwater, soil and other rock thermalCleaning sparging, thermal cleaning A kind of remediation. In situ cleaning of soil using heat, steam. remediation recharge recharge (a)Aquifer Recharge Wells: Used to recharge depleted aquifers by injecting water from a variety of sources such as lakes, streams, domestic wastewater treatment plants, other aquifers, etc. (b)Saline Water Intrusion Barrier Wells: Used to inject water into fresh water aquifers to prevent intrusion of salt water into fresh water aquifers. (c)Subsidence Control Wells: Used to inject fluids into a non-oil or gas-producing zone to reduce or eliminate subsidence associated with overdraft of fresh water. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2010/1089/annex/III/division/4/division/4.2/division/4.2.3/division/4.2.3.2/division/1 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/eu-regulation-2010-1089/annex-III/division-4/division-4.2/division-4.2.3/division-4.2.3.2/division-1 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
