Tracking Perfluoroalkyl Substances From Wastewater Influent To Its Accumulation In Vegetables And Forage Grass, Simon Kozik
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
Per and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of chemicals that are persistent in the environment. PFAS was found in wastewater, which can be used after wastewater treatment for irrigation water, and in the biosolids that can be mixed with soils to provide nutrients and generally improve soil quality. This study found when wastewater was used it increases the level of PFAS in vegetables and forage grass. PFAS concentrations were tracked from the influent of the wastewater treatment plant to the effluent, to the irrigation water, to the soil, and finally into the vegetable and forage grass grown on …

A Study To Determine The Feasibility Of Irrigating The Lands Included In The Cache Valley Water Conservation District No. 1, I. Donald Jerman
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of irrigating the lands of the Cache Valley Water Conservation District No. 1.

The Main canals are now in use and are in a good condition to serve all the lands with the required amount of water, but the few laterals that are now constructed, are in a poor condition, with the remaining laterals yet to be finished.
Before successful irrigation can be practiced, a large portion of the land will require leveling and small areas …
