Abstract:

Nassau County, Long Island, New York is presently developing a Comprehensive Water Management Plan. To determine the extent and trends in nitrate contamination of the groundwater, a preliminary analysis of nitrate concentrations was performed using the County's computerized water resource database. Findings confirm the effectiveness of sewering in lowering nitrate concentrations. The study also illustrates the flexibility of the database design in analyzing and presenting data for water management purposes.
