| Abstract |
Preliminary examination of the aquifer in the vicinity of Portales, New Mexico, indicated the presence of coliform bacteria within a two mile radius of the town of Portales. Coliform organisms are used as bacterial indicators of fecal pollution. The presence of these bacterial organisms in the water table at Portales is indicative of recharge to the aquifer. The study examines both chemical and bacterial parameters of the aquifer and extends the results to elucidate any possible seasonal variations and sources of the pollution in the ground water.
