The watershed program offers technical assistance to watershed groups, municipalities, and individual citizens. A watershed is a geographic area of land across which water, and the sediments and dissolved materials it contains, flow on their way to a single common outlet -- a stream, lake or river.
What is Lumboperitoneal Shunt? Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt is an artificial connection created by neurosurgeons which allows excess of cerebrospinal fluid to leave the subarachnoid space and enter the peritoneum. From there, the fluid is easily absorbed and eliminated via the circulatory system and the kidneys.
Shunting is successful in reducing pressure in the brain in most people. VP shunts are likely to require replacement after several years, especially in small children. The average lifespan of an infantâs shunt is 2 years. Adults and children over the age of 2 may not need a shunt replacement for 8 or more years.
