Status and understanding of groundwater quality in the South Coast Range-Coastal study unit, 2008: California GAMA Priority Basin Project

“…DO was correlated with agricultural land use. This correlation was not found in other Priority Basin Project study units (Kulongoski and Belitz, 2010;Landon and others, 2010;Burton andothers, 2011, 2012). The correlation of DO with agriculture may be a result of irrigation practices which may accelerate the percolation of aerated water to the primary aquifer system.…”
