Title The long term effect of agricultural, vadose zone and climatic factors on nitrate contamination in Nebraska’s groundwater system
Creator Juntakut, Pongpun Snow, Daniel D Haacker, Erin M.K. Ray, Chittaranjan
Description A four-decade dataset (1974–2013) of 107,823 nitrate samples in 25,993 wells from western and eastern parts of Nebraska was used to assess long-term trends of groundwater nitrate concentration and decadal changes in the extent of groundwater nitrate-contaminated areas (NO3-N≥10 mg N/L) over the entire state. Spatial statistics and regressions were used to investigate the relationships between groundwater nitrate concentrations and several potential natural and anthropogenic factors, including...
