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.
A shunt allows the excess CSF to drain to a different part of the body. In the older patient with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, insertion of a VP shunt shows improvement rates in between 61-90% of patients presenting with this condition (Saehle et al. 2014).
