Wafer Quality
An Issue For Everyone
BY WILLIAM BARROW JR.
Agricultural Extension Agent
Water is essential for life on this
earth. Everyone knows this and
recently the media has focused a
lot of attention on the quality of our
water. Bruns
wick County
residents arc
keenly aware of
the impact of
poor quality
water: Consider
the economics
of closed shell
fish areas and
publicity of
contaminated
BARROW
groundwater on tourism, and health
risks to those using wells as a
source of drinking water.
Sources of pollution arc often
hiahliahtnH whr?n n cnill nr lr*olr
W ' O ? *?"" ? "f" " " ?*"
occurs. Recently publicized sources
include fuel spills, agricultural
runofT, industrial waste disposal
and chemical spills. These sources
suggest corporate and municipal
responsibility for the problems.
GARDENING TIPS
However, there are numerous
other sources that may occur on a
smaller scale and collectively cause
a large problem.
Consider the excessive use of
fertilizer and pcsucidcs by resi
dents in a l-tTgc subdivision.
Homeowners with bcrmuda grass
lawns apply fertilizer on a regular
basis. If 10-10-10 is the material of
choice, 50 pounds per 1,000 square
feet would be applied in a single
year. This is equivalent to 2,180
pounds per acre. Improper calibra
tion could easily push this rate up
to more than 3,000 pounds per
acre.
Excess fertilizer and applica
tions mnHr jimt before a heavy rain
may wind up in the groundwater.
Similar possibilities accompany the
use of pesticides. This example
gets worse when there is a well
nearby that is not properly con
structed. Heavy rains can wash
contaminants quickly down into the
water supply. ?
Other examples of potential con
tamination include improperly
installed home septic systems;
improper disposal of pesticides,
used motor oil and home hazardous
materials (generally all cleaning
products).
Detection of groundwater con
tamination is important The
Brunswick County Agricultural
Extension Service is participating
in a well water sampling program
to identify potential contamination.
From Jan 15 through Feb. 2, water
samples will be collected from
more than 300 wells throughout
Brunswick County. The water will
be tested for nitrates, chloride lev
els and conductivity. A $10 fee is
charged for each sample.
Anyone concerned about their
water may participate by contacting
the extension office at 253-4425.
We need your help to get a good
look at our groundwater ? consider
it and call us today.
