sree251 REALLY this still sound like a needed project . from the page you supplied
groundwater supplies that may contain naturally occurring radionuclides
The Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) is a major infrastructure project that, upon completion, will provide reliable municipal and industrial water to 39 communities in Southeastern Colorado. The pipelines will bring water from Pueblo Reservoir to Bent, Crowley, Kiowa, Otero, Prowers, and Pueblo counties. It is projected to serve up to 50,000 people in the future (equivalent to 7,500 acre-feet per year).
Currently, many people in these areas rely on groundwater supplies that may contain naturally occurring radionuclides such as radium and uranium. Alternatives for these communities consist of expensive options such as reverse-osmosis, ion exchange, filtration, and bottled water. The region’s health and welfare depend on a reliable source of clean, safe water.
