Terrorism and Groundwater Redux: Is Weaponization Possible?

Today is the 14th anniversary of this blog. I often repost that original missive but will refrain from doing so this year and instead post my second one (9 January 2007), Terrorism and Ground Water. I have left it as is, even to the point of using 'ground water' instead of 'groundwater' - Bill Alley's USGS proclamation was still over two years away. I have also included a PDF of an article that appeared in an NGWA newsletter, Terrorists and Ground Water: Is Weaponization Possible?

Download weaponization_and_ground_water4282005.pdf

The graphic is also new.

Here goes...

I might as well jump in feet first with this topic, which sounds like the basis for a season of Kiefer Sutherland's 24. But I'm deadly serious.

Most of the concern for water terrorism has rightly emphasized the protection of water intakes and other entry points into water distribution systems and the development of emergency supplies and response procedures.  The contamination of reservoirs is generally considered difficult because of the large volumes of water involved and the resulting significant dilution.

But what about the intentional introduction of a chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) agent into an aquifer, so as to cause a large number of deaths?  At first, this appears so ridiculous as to promote immediate dismissal of the concept.  If the contamination of a reservoir or storage tank with a lethal dose of a CBR agent is difficult to accomplish, then what about aquifers, whose water volumes are often measured in cubic kilometers?  But it may be possible that a biotoxin might prove more appropriate to contaminate an aquifer than a chemical or radiological agent.

Here are some of the questions that I think are important:

• Which aquifer types would a terrorist seek to contaminate?
• Which aquifers in the USA (and the world) have recharge areas that are well-known and accessible?
• Which aquifers have short travel times from recharge areas to supply wells?
• Which aquifers provide little opportunity for a toxin to disperse, sorb, react, or degrade? 
• Which aquifers have relatively low storage volumes between recharge areas and supply wells?
• Which (bio)toxins might be suitable for terrorist acts directed at aquifers?

In terms of vulnerability, certain types of aquifers come to mind - karst, fractured rock, and volcanic rock aquifers.

I have attached a pdf of a brief article I wrote a few years ago that was published in Ground Water News and Views, a newsletter of the National Ground Water Association. At the time some criticized me for broaching this topic, lest I give some people ideas. If that's the case, we should probably not discuss anything unpleasant, since there may be some "copycats" out there. I like to think that if more people had thought about commercial airliners being used as weapons of mass destruction we might have avoided 9/11.

I am also attaching a recent excellent article by Peter Gleick on "Water and Terrorism".

Hope you enjoyed it. Comments are always welcomed, especially since I have not looked at this topic in 15 years. I'm sure there is more to say. Maybe my interest will be piqued.

Paper: 'Exploring Groundwater Recoverability in Texas - Maximum Economically Recoverable Storage'

The paper Exploring Groundwater Recoverability in Texas: Maximum Economically Recoverable Storage by Justin C. Thompson, Charles W. Kreitler, and Michael H. Young is in the current issue (Volume 3, Issue 12) of the Texas Water Journal. As the teaser says, 'This study addresses the question: What are the economic and physical limits to recoverability?' 

I recommend it.

I have reproduced the abstract, introduction, conclusion and Figures 1-3 here to whet your appetite. Download the full paper by clicking here.

Abstract
The 2017 Texas state water plan projects total supply deficits of 4.8 and 8.9 million acre-feet under drought-of-record conditions by the year 2020 and 2070, respectively, driven by a growing population concurrent with declining available water supplies. Reductions in groundwater supply account for 95% of anticipated declines in total water supply. Meanwhile, restrictive groundwater management plans may be creating a regulation-induced shortage of groundwater in Texas, given the significant groundwater storage volumes that are unutilized under many management plans. However, these estimates do not account for many of the physical and none of the economic constraints to groundwater recoverability. We report an analysis of groundwater extraction feasibility and simulate maximum economically recoverable storage for conditions representative of the central section of the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer under economic constraints associated with agricultural uses. Two key limitations are applied to simulate recoverability: (1) the value of water pumped relative to pumping costs and (2) the capacity of the aquifer and well to meet demand. Our results indicate that these constraints may limit certain uses to as little as 1% of current groundwater availability estimates. We suggest that Texas groundwater managers, stakeholders, and policymakers assessing groundwater availability need an alternate approach for estimating recoverability.

Introduction
Is Texas running out of groundwater, blessed with abundance, or somewhere in the middle? This question, historically shrouded in scientific uncertainty and political controversy, represents a complex nexus of hydrogeology, economics, and policy with many relevant and potentially conflicting considerations. Hydrogeologic conditions and management objectives vary significantly across the state, and as a consequence there is no universal yield solution.

Nonetheless, one key element common to all human groundwater demand is recoverability, defined as the relative ease or difficulty of extraction. Recoverability is constrained by aquifer characteristics, well design, and economics. While recoverability data is crucial to groundwater planning and management, particularly with respect to availability assessments, Texas’ best estimates of recoverable groundwater volumes reflect only the volume in storage and take no account of well design or economic constraints. This study therefore addresses the question: What are the economic and physical limits to recoverability? By establishing these limits, we can better estimate potentially available groundwater for given uses and infrastructure.

Conclusion
We conclude that Texas groundwater managers, stakeholders, and policymakers assessing groundwater availability need an alternate approach for estimating recoverability. The current metrics employed by the state for estimating groundwater storage and recoverability, total storage and TERS, are highly limited in scope and function. Irrespective of the name, TERS values do not scientifically account for many of the physical and none of the economic constraints upon groundwater recoverability, as noted by the TWDB (Bradley 2016).

The system of equations described above, which constitute the MERS model, represents one method for estimating the limits of groundwater recoverability that accounts for some of the physical and economic constraints upon yields. These constraints can be significant and may limit recoverability to as little as 1% of local storage (or 1.1% and 3.2% of comparable TERS estimates) in deep and confined settings. This suggests that the majority of water stored in the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer (45% of major aquifer storage in Texas) may not be economically recoverable for some agricultural uses. Conversely, recoverability of water stored in shallow and unconfined settings may be limited only by the capacity of the well and aquifer to meet demanded pumping rates.

Future studies expanding on these methods may refine drawdown estimates by replacing specific capacity estimates with drawdown solutions that account for partial well penetrationthough the analyses would become more complex. These or similar methods could also be integrated with the TWDB groundwater availability model and groundwater database data to estimate local recoverability for any use and aquifer.

Ultimately, what is recoverable for a microchip manufacturer may not be the same as what is recoverable for a farmer, and what is recoverable for an alfalfa farmer may not be the same as what is recoverable for a tomato farmer. Moreover, the limits to what is economically recoverable for any user are not economically efficient and pumping costs increase for all users in all cases where depth-to-water increases. Nonetheless, quantifying planned and potential changes to groundwater recoverability using scientific methods with known assumptions, conditions, and infrastructure provides important information for Texas policymakers and stakeholders looking to the future.

Enjoy!

Mississippi v. Tennessee Groundwater Kerfuffle: Is More Trouble Brewing?

Nothing like a little click-bait for a title.

It's true that the decision reached by Special Master Eugene E. Siler, Jr., last month supported Tennessee and the other defendants, the City of Memphis and Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW). You can read about Judge Siler's decision in the Memphis Flyer and DeSoto Times-Tribune (BTW: Siler did not say 'Water is infinite' - the paper misquoted him) and my take and that of water lawyer Jesse J. Richardson by clicking here. And note that Siler's decision is really a recommendation that will be presented to the Supreme Court, which has the final say.

With all the above as preface, we now know why Mississippi insisted upon investing almost 15 years to get Tennessee to quit taking all that groundwater from the Memphis Sand aquifer. They wanted to save that water to make beer! Instead we now have Memphis Sands beer! I kid you not (much). From the Wiseacre Brewing Company:

From deep within the Earth’s crust, the finest drinking water on the planet springs forth to Memphis. This unique aquifer supplies WISEACRE with the most necessary of ingredients for the production of crisp, light-colored lager. The rains that fell to earth 3000 years ago are filtered very slowly through hundreds of feet of fine grain sand, culminating in a huge underground lake filled with 57 trillion gallons [Note: ~175 MAF) of virtually mineral-free water. From this prestigious water reserve, we supply Memphis with Sands, our one-of-a-kind Lager. Beauteous in its simplicity, it is very low in bitterness and full of delicious flavors of bread and crackery malt.

Of course that underground lake is fed by an underground river.

I have heard and read that the water quality in the Memphis Sand aquifer is very good - low TDS (total dissolved solids) - although there are concerns about pollution. At least one company was interested in bottling water from the MSA which I think they wanted to call 'Graceland', but that proposal went nowhere.  

I cannot take much credit for all this. My former Master's student, Courtney van
Stolk, works in Seattle but is from the Memphis area. While there buying food and drink for the holidays, she discovered Memphis Sands beer and posted about it on her wonderful blog, Blue Marble Earth. Read the rest of the story there, including ratings of the descriptive material, can art, and most all, the taste. I won't give anything away.

Wonder if there is a low-carb brew?

Enjoy!
