Relation of Distribution of Radium, Nitrate, and Pesticides to Agricultural LandUse and Depth, Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer System, New Jersey Coastal Plain, 1990-91

摘要

This report examines the relation of the distributions of dissolved radium,nitrate, and pesticides in the aquifer to the distribution of agricultural land and to depth in agricultural areas in the Coastal Plain of southern New Jersey. The report also discusses the geochemistry of the aquifer system and evaluates possible geochemical processes that result in the leaching of radium into solution.
