Evaluation of the Use of DUMPStat to Detect the Impact of Landfills on Groundwater Quality
The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the use of the computer program DUMPStat as an alternative or supplement to the use of indicator preventive action limits (PAL) for determining whether a landfill is in | compliance with groundwater quality standards.
Groundwater Chemistry of Wells Exhibiting Natural Arsenic Contamination in East-Central Wisconsin
A naturally occurring mineralized zone occurs in the lower Ordovician Galena-Platteville Dolomite and upper St. Peter Sandstone in east central Wisconsin.
Nitrate-Contaminated Drinking Water Followback Study
Nitrate is one of the most common contaminants found in Wisconsin's groundwater. Groundwater naturally contains traces of nitrate that are produced by decaying vegetation and transported through soil by rainwater and snow melt.
Agrichemical Loading to Groundwater Under Irrigated Vegetables in the Central Sand Plain
Agrichemicals are widespread groundwater pollutants in many agricultural regions of the US, including the Wisconsin central sand plain.
Relationships Between Private Well Water, Stream Base Flow Water, and Land Use in the Tomorrow-Waupaca River Watershed
Agricultural practices that lead to groundwater pollution by nitrate-N and pesticides remain one of the major environmental issues facing Wisconsin and the nation.
Characterization of E. coli and Total Coliform Organisms Isolated from Wisconsin Waters and Reassessment of their Public Health Significance
In 1989 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgated Revised National Primary Drinking Water Regulations pursuant to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. For Wisconsin, the law drastically increased the number of water systems required to test for microbiological contaminants.
