Effectiveness of highway-drainage systems in preventing road-salt contamination of ground water, southeastern Massachusetts Effectiveness of highway-drainage systems in preventing road-salt contamination of ground water, southeastern Massachusetts
Road-salt contamination of public and private water supplies has become a serious and costly problem, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest. For example, reports of road-salt contamination from 100 of the 351 municipalities in Massachusetts from 1983 through 1990 required an expenditure of about 2.5 million dollar to investigate and remediate. Nationally, an estimated 10 million...

Dimethylsulfoniopropionate as a potential methanogenic substrate in Mono Lake sediments Dimethylsulfoniopropionate as a potential methanogenic substrate in Mono Lake sediments
A high concentration of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was found in the water column (0.1–1.8 µM particulate plus dissolved) of Mono Lake, CA, an alkaline, hypersaline waterbody. The dense Artemia monica population contained high levels of DMSP (1.7–2.5 mmol.g-1 wet weight), presumably as an osmolyte. Death of these brine shrimp caused accumulation of DMSP along the shoreline of the...

Predicting watershed acidification under alternate rainfall conditions Predicting watershed acidification under alternate rainfall conditions
The effect of alternate rainfall scenarios on acidification of a forested watershed subjected to chronic acidic deposition was assessed using the model of acidification of groundwater in catchments (MAGIC). The model was calibrated at the Panola Mountain Research Watershed, near Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. using measured soil properties, wet and dry deposition, and modeled hydrologic...
