An Analysis Of Groundwater Quality As Sampling Networks Age: The Gaps In Groundwater Monitoring, Angela Leone
An Analysis Of Groundwater Quality As Sampling Networks Age: The Gaps In Groundwater Monitoring, Angela Leone
Undergraduate Distinction Papers
Groundwater management is an important facet of protecting this important resource. One way that we ensure proper groundwater management is through the regular, long-term monitoring of groundwater wells at waste management sites throughout the country. This study investigates potential changes to groundwater quality attributed to degradation of well construction materials rather than impacts to aquifers from wastes. This assessment was completed using a data analysis of groundwater trends at closed landfill sites. An analysis of fifty-five sites was completed and three sites met our criteria for suitable data history. Due to the lack of suitable data, a more thorough investigation …

Presence Of Glyphosate In First Order Streams Associated With Rainfall Events, Julie Platz
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
Glyphosate is widely used in the United States and has recently been described as both mobile and persistent in soils and bodies of water. There is little research however, on the variability of glyphosate concentration in runoff based on different land use types. For this study an evaluation of samples from different land uses are used to assess glyphosate concentrations in first order streams during a runoff event. The intent was to compare three sites with a. known commercial applications, b. known lack of applications (organic), and c. assumed limited application of glyphosate. There was no significant difference in glyphosate …
