"Whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting"

Water from 22 percent of the wells sampled in Kansas had dissolved solids concentrations greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level

  • f 500 milligrams per liter for drinking water; dissolved solids in water from 2 of the 46 wells

exceeded 1,000 milligrams per liter. Water from 9 percent of the wells had nitrate concentrations greater than the 10-milligrams-per-liter USEPA Maximum Contaminant Level (a primary drinking-water standard); 76 percent of the wells had nitrate concentrations greater than 2.0 milligrams per liter, which indicates potential enrichment from land-use activities. Concentrations

  • f trace elements exceeded water-quality standards in water from only two wells. Concentrations of

arsenic and manganese exceeded standards in one sample each from these two wells.
