Map of Study Location

• Objectives:
  
  Evaluate the quality of drinking water from ground water in areas where ground water is a significant source of drinking water.

• Approach:
  
  Samples will be collected from several high-producing community water supply wells. Selected wells are in populated areas where ground water is vulnerable to possible contamination from anthropogenic or natural sources.
  

• Timing:
  
  Sampling of the wells took place between February and October 2003.
  

• Targeted Constituents:
  
  Dissolved organic carbon, pesticides, pharmaceutical compounds, fuel oxygenates, volatile organic compounds, and e. coli bacteria.
