The Economic Feasibility of Using Ethanol to Accelerate Groundwater Denitrification

by D. D. Adelman, Natural Resources Commission, United States,
R. F. Spalding, Natural Resources Commission, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Planning Now for Irrigation and Drainage in the 21st Century

Abstract:

A substantial buildup of nitrate in the groundwater of the eastern Sandhills region of Nebraska is projected by some planners. A groundwater carbon source such as ethanol promotes denitrification, and is projected to economically mitigate the nitrate buildup problem.
