Water Security in Armenia, WI: Modeling for Informed Decision-Making in a Nitrate-Impacted Watershed
In the Central Sands region of Wisconsin, concerns have grown regarding the export of nitrogen in the form of ionic nitrate (NO3-) from agricultural areas to private wells, where nitrate can be a contaminant of concern particularly to infants and pregnant mothers.
Characterization of the Geology and Hydrogeology of the Rountree Formation in Southwestern Wisconsin
The goal of this project was to better understand the spatial distribution of residual clays of the Rountree Formation in the subsurface in Iowa, Grant, and (to a lesser extent) Lafayette Counties; and to evaluate what, if any, buffering capacity this clay unit provides to the bedrock groundwater system from non-point source surface contamination.
