positive and negative ions dissolved in the water. The <br />water at all but S-6 and S-8 is a mixed sulfate type, and • <br />that of S-6 and S-8 is a sodium-magnesium-sulfate type. <br />(This difference is explained in Section 1.3.2.) <br />The nutrient levels found in the samples are not unusual for <br />this area. Chromium, zinc, and molybdenum levels were all <br />below detection limits; only iron and manganese were in <br />unusually high concentrations, <br />For the criteria listed on Tahle 6 manganese concentrations <br />exceed the NAS recommended drinking water concentrations for <br />every sample except from S-2 and S-8, and iron is above the ' <br />NAS recommended drinking water standards for samples from S-1 <br />and S-6. The SAR and conductivity values for samples from <br />Stations S-6 and S-8 indicated that the water has a very high <br />sodium and salinity hazard index for use as irrigation water. <br /> <br /> <br />
