Statistical evaluation of the effects of irrigation on chemical quality of ground water and base flow in three river valleys in north-central Kansas
T.B. Spruill
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4156
The chemical quality of groundwater and base flow in three alluvial valleys in Kansas has been changed as a result of 10 or more years of irrigation. Sulfate concentrations in groundwater in the Prairie Dog Creek valley statistically larger during 1981-82 than before irrigation began. Concentrations of calcium, bicarbonate, sulfate,...
