Ground-Water Quality and Susceptibility of Ground Water to Effects from Domestic Wastewater Disposal in Eastern Bernalillo County, Central New Mexico, 1990-91.

摘要

The purpose of this report is to present (1) an assessment of the suitability of geologic and soil conditions in eastern Bernalillo County for domestic wastewater disposal; (2) a summary and evaluation of ground-water concentrations of constituents typically associated with domestic wastewater in samples collected during 1990-91; (3) a comparison of concentrations of these constituents over time; and (4) an evaluation of the susceptibility of ground water to contamination by domestic wastewater disposal. The report is based on (1) review of available geologic, hydrologic, soil, and land-use data; (2) one-time sample collection and analysis from 121 wells throughout eastern Bernalillo County and (3) monthly water-level measurement and sample collection and analysis from 20 of these wells.
