Major Aquifer Study: Ogallala Formation, northern High Plains
|
Water samples from 108 randomly selected domestic water-supply wells
completed in the Ogallala Formation of the northern High Plains were collected as
part of the High Plains Regional Ground-Water Study conducted by the U.S.
Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program. The samples
were analyzed for about 170 water-quality constituents that included physical
parameters, dissolved solids and major ions, nutrients and dissolved organic
carbon, trace elements, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, radon, and tritium. The
purpose of this study was to provide a broad overview of ground-water quality
in the Ogallala Formation of the northern High Plains aquifer.
