Hydrogeochemistry of shallow groundwater in a small catchment area, Cheonan, Korea: Emphasis on redox condition and nitrate problem

  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

Shallow groundwater systems are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic contamination and are characterized by a variety of redox condition. The redox state is a key parameter to control the nitrate contamination which is related to nitrification or denitrification processes. In relation to the control of nitrate problem, it is very important to understand the source, transport and fate of nitrogen compounds in a groundwater system. (omitted)
