摘要: During 1976-1977 nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) concentrations exceeded 10 mg/1 in 183 of the 256 ground-water samples collected from parts Buffalo, Hall, and Merrick counties Nebraska. Comparison isotopic values with those potential nitrate sources suggested that primary source contamination most wells was fertilizer a small percentage contained significant NO3-N derived animal wastes. A combination two or more assumed for which could not be identified. Significant negative correlations between δ15N (-0.35 Buffalo Hall Counties) δ5N depth to water (–0.55 County) indicate denitrification is major factor fractionation nitrogen sour
