| Abstract | Raw sewage was metered into a newly-constructed lagoon of the Pima County Department of Sanitation, Tucson, Arizona. Seepage losses were calculated from data on inflow, evaporation and change in storage. Water samples were obtained from shallow suction cups, a 40-ft and a 60-ft PVC well and a 100-ft access tube, all located inside the lagoon. Samples from these wells, together with water samples from the lagoon, were examined for coliform organisms and various physical and chemical constituents. Of special concern were transformation in nitrogen. The effects on ground water are reported. |
