2018 - Status And Understanding Of Groundwater Quality In The Monterey-Salinas Shallow Aquifer Study Unit, 2012-13 - California Gama Priority Basin Project
Miscellaneous Monterey and San Luis Obispo County Documents and Reports
The study was designed to provide a statistically robust assessment of untreated-groundwater quality in the shallow aquifer systems. The assessment was based on water-quality samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 100 groundwater sites and 70 household tap sites, along with ancillary data such as land use and well-construction information. The shallow aquifer systems were defined by the depth interval of wells associated with domestic supply. The Monterey-Salinas Shallow Aquifer study unit consisted of four study areas—Santa Cruz (210 km2), Pajaro Valley (360 km2), Salinas Valley (2,000 km2), and Highlands (5,250 km2).
The first primary component of this study—the …
