The ability of natural attenuation to mitigate agricultural nitrate contamination in recharging
aquifers was investigated in four important agricultural settings in the United States. The …

Many national and regional groundwater studies have correlated land use “near” a well,
often using a 500m radius circle, with water quality. However, the use of a 500m circle may …

Protection and sustainability of water supply wells requires the assessment of vulnerability to
contamination and the delineation of well capture zones. Capture zones, or more generally …

Abstract In the Parma Functional Urban Area, hydro-geo-ecology was investigated through
an interdisciplinary approach, with emphasis on the shallow aquifer system. The study …

Groundwater is an important resource for drinking water. Although it is a relatively stable and
protected water resource, its quality, especially in highly urbanized catchments, is …

Wellhead protection is of critical importance for managing groundwater resources. While a
number of previous authors have addressed questions related to uncertainties in advective …
