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.
Septic, or infectious, arthritis is infection of one or more joints by microorganisms. Normally, the joint is lubricated with a small amount of fluid that is referred to as synovial fluid or joint fluid. The normal joint fluid is sterile and, if removed and cultured in the laboratory, no microbes will be detected. Risks for the development of septic arthritis include taking immune-suppression medicines, intravenous drug abuse, past joint disease, injury or surgery, and underlying medical illnesses, including diabetes, alcoholism, sickle cell disease, rheumatic diseases, and immune deficiency disorders.
