USGS Tracks Acid Rain
John D. Gordon, Mark A. Nilles, LeRoy J. Schroder
1995, Fact Sheet 183-95
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been actively studying acid rain for the past 15 years. When scientists learned that acid rain could harm fish, fear of damage to our natural environment from acid rain concerned the American public. Research by USGS scientists and other groups began to show that...
Relation of nitrate concentrations in ground water to well depth, well use, and land use in Franklin Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, 1970-85
Cecilia Louise MacLeod, T. H. Barringer, E. F. Vowinkel, C. V. Price
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4174
A water-quality data base was developed to permit the investigation of the relation of concentrations of nitrate (as nitrogen) in ground water to well depth, well use, and land use (agricultural, residential, urban nonresidential, and undeveloped) in Franklin Township. Nitrate concentrations in water from 868 wells tended to decrease with...
