Document Summary
3 are required for new usage in many states. a problem. In the us, nearly all the flow in the colorado river is diverted for use; and the high plains of the central us, where more ground water is being withdrawn from the. Water quality water table or a fractured rock aquifer is present: hard water vs. soft water. This refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium ions dissolved in the water. These two ions form a scummy deposit when used with common soaps. They can also cause hard deposits on the walls of boiler pipes. Hard water has a hardness value of greater than 60-80 mg per liter. In areas where hard water is common, water softening is often done. Water softeners usually replace the ions above with sodium ions: tds = total dissolved solids. Brackish water 1,000 < tds < 10,000 g/m3. Saline water 10,000 < tds < 100,000 g/m3.
