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.
A lumbar peritoneal (LP) shunt is a technique of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion from the lumbar thecal sac to the peritoneal cavity.
What It Is. A lumbar puncture (LP), often called a spinal tap, is a common medical test that involves taking a small sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for examination. CSF is a clear, colorless liquid that delivers nutrients and cushions the brain and spinal cord, or central nervous system. In a lumbar puncture, a needle is carefully inserted into the lower spine to collect the CSF sample.
