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 ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a medical device that relieves pressure on the brain caused by fluid accumulation. VP shunting is a surgical procedure that primarily treats a condition called hydrocephalus.This condition occurs when excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collects in the brainâs ventricles.hen this normal flow is disrupted, the buildup of fluid can create harmful pressure on the brainâs tissues, which can damage the brain. Doctors surgically place VP shunts inside one of the brainâs ventricles to divert fluid away from the brain and restore normal flow and absorption of CSF.
