An aquifer system occurs in the recent basin deposits, which consists of unconsolidated material, namely sands, pebbles and fine clay to silty sand sediments. A network of production boreholes and wells distributed over the studied region were sampled in June 1998 and the waters analyzed for major ions, nitrites and ammonia. Quality deterioration was detected and attributed by crop overfertilization and use of abandoned shallow wells as septic tanks, inducing increased nitrogen compound concentrations. Nitrates are noticeable throughout the entire region rendering most of the analyzed waters improper for human consumption, as concentrations by far exceed 50 mg l-1. Mean nitrate concentration in the groundwater is 74 mg l-1 and the standard deviation 72. In general, low nitrate concentrations were observed in wet seasons.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>29</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>31</first_page><last_page>38</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">236</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000236</doi><timestamp>1713573812</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/236</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
