Development Plan For The Energy Sector 2007 - 2017, Bureau Des Mines Et De L'Energie

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

The national program for the development of the energy sector of Haiti seeks to enable policy makers and various stakeholders providing them with a management tool for the industry. The program covers the period 2007-2032. The conservation of natural resources (especially forests) from the point of view of energy management and environmental integrity will be considered through various measures such as: Support for more efficient use of fuel from wood and charcoal; the production of energy and other forest biomass resources; the conversion to diesel, bio-diesel and LPG of 1,000 small businesses that use wood as fuel; the promotion of …

Assessing Water-Supply Potential Of Abandoned Underground Coal Mines In Eastern Kentucky, James S. Dinger, Dennis H. Cumbie, Bart Davidson

Report of Investigations--KGS

Use of water in abandoned underground coal mines for municipal, industrial, agricultural, or domestic water supplies is dependent upon the water quantity and quality. For either of these factors, the requirements of the user will play a role in what water quantity or quality is acceptable. This report provides analysis of field-derived water-quality and -quantity characteristics for six abandoned underground coal mines in the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field. In addition, some ancillary data from State regulatory agencies were used to help characterize water quality coming from the mines.

This study demonstrates that water quality in abandoned deep mines can be …
