Distribution and probable source of nitrate in ground water of Paradise Valley, Arizona
Two theories have been proposed regarding the source of nitrate in Paradise Valley ground water: one suggests contamination by fertilizers and by treated wastewater effluent, and the other suggests that ammonium chloride, leached from tuffs in the adjacent Superstition Mountains, is oxidized to nitrate and deposited in a braided stream complex. The geology, hydrogeology, and distribution of nitrate in Paradise Valley ground water are described.
