Abstract
The primary research objective of the study was to determine the possible heavy metal addition to surface and ground waters in the Springfield-Joplin areas, Missouri, in respect to mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc, copper and iron, and to ascertain distribution patterns of these elements in the water supplies of these expanding population centers of the state. A second objective was to relate the possible water quality changes produced by these elements to seasonal variation and to the source or source rocks in the area. The hydrogen-ion concentration, alkalinity, conductance, temperature and turbidity were determined for each water sample. The third objective was to suggest alternate water sources for those areas which show heavy metal contents in excess of those considered safe by the Public Health Service.
