The part that is unconfined is the smaller recharge area. The Recharge Zone The Edwards aquifer is often referred to as a fault-zone aquifer because recharge in the recharge zone occurs because the limestone is heavily faulted and fractured as it follows the Balcones Fault Line.he Edwards is divided into three parts: the contributing zone, the recharge zone and the artesian zone. The aquifer is mostly confined, the contributing zone, which is the largest part,is confined below by a rock called Glen Rose Limestone and above by mostly impermeable Del Rio Clay.
Enteric diseases are infections that can be caused by viruses or bacteria entering the body through the intestinal system.
Diverticulosis indicates the presence of multiple diverticula and generally implies an absence of symptoms (Fig. 1). Diverticular disease implies any clinical state caused by diverticula, including hemorrhage, inflammation, or their complications.Diverticulitis describes the presence of an inflammatory process associated with diverticula. Its pathogenesis is attributed to genetic and environmental factors (Box 1).he fiber content of the diet plays a large role in the pathogenesis of diverticular disease. Fiber has been found to be protective. Most fiber in the human diet is of plant origin and this type of fiber binds water and salt in the colon, leading to bulkier and more voluminous stools.
