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.
A shunt valve is part of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt used in treating diseases such as hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition involving an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the clear fluid which circulates around the brain and spinal cord, inside the skull.
