| Creator | El-Kadi, Aly I. Yabusaki, Keith |
| Description | Groundwater contamination by agricultural fertilization is a widely recognized problem in the USA and worldwide. Here in Hawaii, agricultural fields have posed a threat to the invaluable basal aquifer. The concentration of nitrate-N in the Pearl Harbor aquifer on Oahu was below 2.3 mg/L in the 1950’s and 1960’s, but has increased in some wells in the Kunia area to a maximum of 7.6 mg/L in 1992 to 1994.
