The shallow, poorly-confined, sand and gravel aquifer underlying the lower
Malheur River basin is contaminated by nitrate and metabolites of the herbicide
dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA), first detected in 1983 and 1985,
respectively. The aquifer supplies water for the Ontario municipal water system,
domestic and industrial uses, and irrigation. In response...
A field study was conducted to determine the applicability of multivariate
geostatistical methods to the problem of estimating and simulating pesticide
concentrations in groundwater from measured concentrations of nitrate and pesticide,
when pesticide is undersampled. Prior to this study, no published attempt had been made
to apply multivariate geostatistics to...
A method was developed for assessing the vulnerability
of groundwater to contamination from contaminant sources
at the soil surface, using a numerical groundwater flow
model linked to a digital map database. The method was
applied using the pcARC/INFO Geographic Information System
(GIS) to input, store, and manipulate base maps, resulting...
Deposition of the Middle Devonian part of the Denay Limestone
and Bay State Dolomite in the northern Antelope Range and Fish
Creek Range, respectively, took place on and in front of a carbonate
platform with a lime sand shoal at the shelf edge. In the Givetian part
of the Denay...
