Occurrence of arsenic in ground water of the Middle Rio Grande Basin, central New Mexico Occurrence of arsenic in ground water of the Middle Rio Grande Basin, central New Mexico
Chemical data from more than 400 ground-water sites in the Middle Rio Grande Basin of central New Mexico indicate that arsenic concentrations exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking-water standard of 10 micrograms per liter across broad areas of the Santa Fe Group aquifer system, which is currently the almost exclusive source of drinking-water supply for residents of the...

How fast does water flow in an unsaturated macropore? Evidence from field and lab experiments How fast does water flow in an unsaturated macropore? Evidence from field and lab experiments
A wide range of available field and lab evidence can lead to useful generalizations about the speed of macropore flow, which often dominates the transport of water and contaminants. In 36 published field tests, the values of maximum transport speed in macropores and other preferential channels vary surprisingly little. The available tests vary widely in type of medium, including...

Microbial degradation of atmospheric halocarbons Microbial degradation of atmospheric halocarbons
Halocarbons are present in the atmosphere at parts-per-trillion (ppt) mixing ratios and are represented by such substances as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlolofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and methyl halides like methyl bromide (MeBr) and their further substituted halomethane analogues (e. g., dibromomethane, bromoform). Many Halocarbons have only an...
