Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine if differences in the Stratigraphy exist which effect waterflow through the sediments found on the lower terraces of the Wisconsin River. This area of late has been the scene of groundwater contamination by agrichemicals. The goal is to locate sites which appear to be more or less susceptible to groundwater contamination. This data can then be used at some future time to predict where groundwater contamination will occur or to devise land use schemes that will prevent its development.
