Shallow groundwater was monitored in an intensively-farmed area of the Mississippi Delta. Samples were obtained during 1996-2001 from 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 m deep observation wells in the grassed borders of agricultural fields and from 0.6, 1.5, and 3.0 m wells in an extensive riparian forest between the cropland and an oxbow lake. Samples were analyzed for dissolved organic C (DOC), C l , N O - N , N H - N , and ΡΟ -Ρ. Nitrate-N concentrations in shallow groundwater were very low, usually 0.06mgL

Above EPA Region X Rivers >0.128 mgL
