Abstract:
Introduction: This project was designed to investigate the extent and source of radium contamination in the Cambro-Ordovician aquifer system of eastern Wisconsin. Extensive use was made of the test well installed by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS) at Minooka Park, Waukesha, Wisconsin. Funding for the project was provided through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). We would also like to acknowledge the help of Tim Eaton of the WGNHS and the support staff at the Great Lakes WATER Institute. Derek Clayton and Mike Cape were the student research assistants who did the field and laboratory analytical work.
