Nitrate and Bromide Transport Through a Vadose Zone in New Jersey

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands (H?AL)

Abstract:

Ongoing field experiments on monitoring transport of Sodium Nitrate and Potassium Bromide in the vadose zone over a shallow groundwater table in the coastal plains of New Jersey are discussed. The chemicals were mixed with lake water, and introduced into the surface of a field strip whose soil profile was continuously monitored for moisture content variations and movement of the chemicals. Monitoring was done from a trench dug along the strip. A new soil solution sampler was developed, and used in this experiment in collecting soil solution samples from the soil profile. Results from a preliminary run are presented.
