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 lumbar-peritoneal shunt is a piece of tubing inserted through a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure in areas of the brain and spinal cord caused by a buildup of fluid applying pressure to the brain. This form of shunt is commonly used to treat intracranial hypertension and the resulting symptoms of vision loss and persistent headaches.
