Cost comparison of treatment alternatives for the removal of nitrates and DBCP from Southern California groundwater

Groundwater quality degradation has been an increasing concern for the City of Upland, California Water Department since the mid-1980's when several wells started showing nitrate (NO 3) and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) concentrations exceeding the current Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL)...

Zusammenfassung:	Groundwater quality degradation has been an increasing concern for the City of Upland, California Water Department since the mid-1980's when several wells started showing nitrate (NO 3) and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) concentrations exceeding the current Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) imposed by the Department of Health Services (DOHS). The presence of these two contaminants is attributed mainly to past agricultural practices in the City, especially from the citrus industry. This problem is not unique to California.
