| Title | Risk and Cost Assessment of Nitrate Contamination in Domestic Wells |
| Creator | Juntakut, Pongpun Haacker, Erin M.K. Snow, Daniel D. Ray, Chittaranjan |
| Description | This study combines empirical predictive and economics models to estimate the cost of remediation for domestic wells exceeding suggested treatment thresholds for nitrates. A multiple logistic regression model predicted the probability of well contamination by nitrate, and a life cycle costing methodology was used to estimate costs of nitrate contamination in groundwater in two areas of Nebraska. In south-central Nebraska, 37% of wells were estimated to be at risk of exceeding a threshold of... |
