Introducing Kids to Natural Resource Careers Adapted from Information by the U.S. Department of Agriculture In a technologically-advanced soci- ety which often focuses children’s atten- tion indoors, the U.S. Forest Service has taken initiative to get kids outside and interested in natural resource careers through the Youth Forest Monitoring Program in central Montana. As part of the program, young peo- ple venture into the woods for a three- day research project. Though the sites explored are in close proximity to the kids’ homes, this is a new experience for many who have never wandered out for a close-up view of the surrounding natural environment. Recently, 13 students accompanied by four field instructors went into the Scapegoat Wilderness in the Helena National Forest northwest of Lincoln, Montana, to gather data on recreation impacts and water quality. This was a golden opportunity for students to per- fect their monitoring skills. While on this trip, amateur research- ers measured stream and soil health near Webb Lake and looked for amphib- ians in Heart Lake. The number and vari- ety of species found helps Forest Service officials determine water quality. A field instructor and high school science teacher, Tom Pederson said the types of insects, fish, and other species living in the water are an indication of what students are looking for in healthy streams. After gathering information about natural resources, students compare their data with the data of previous par- ticipants and present their findings to Forest Service officials, elected officials, and the public. The program has been incredibly successful at introducing high school students to natural resource careers, which just may lead to core drilling, environmental, and even geothermal drilling. Annual surveys have revealed Students sit around a campfire after a long day of monitoring the environment.

Un pozo se puede “tapar” por muchas razones - bacteria, incrustación, mo- vimiento de arcillas al are de la maya, etc. Rehabilitación utilizando ácidos o cloro con bloque de so- bretensión puede remover esta capacidad-atacando los compuestos de la maya en menos de una hora. Muchos clientes no pueden solven- tar un pozo nuevo, pero pueden rehabi- litar un pozo para tener más eficiencia y/o agregar más capacidad de depósito.
