Description | Studies over the last 10 years have documented extensive nitrate contamination of the Northcentral Sumas-Blaine Surficial Aquifer in Whatcom County largely from agricultural sources. The aquifer is a candidate for long-term monitoring. However, spatial and temporal variability of nitrate concentrations in shallow groundwater in an agricultural setting poses a challenge to identify long-term trends. This study investigates two alternative methods, volunteer well owner sampling and commercial field test kits, that may help to reduce the cost of a large-scale monitoring program. |
