Estimates of nitrogen loads entering Long Island Sound from ground water and streams on Long Island, New York, 1985-96
Michael P. Scorca, Jack Monti Jr.
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4196
Fresh ground water that discharges from the northern part of Long Island's aquifer system to Long Island Sound contains elevated concentrations of nitrogen from agricultural fertilizer, domestic waste and fertilizer, and precipitation. The nitrogen contributes to algal blooms, which consume oxygen as the algae die and decompose. The resulting low...
