Groundwater quality: Responsible agriculture and public perceptions

The chief sources of groundwater contamination on farms come from point sources and diffuse sources. Possible point sources are feedlots, poorly-sited manure piles, septic sewage-treatment systems—all of which can release nitrate, phosphates and bacteria— and sites of chemical spills. Diffuse sources are typified by excess fertilizer leaching from a number of arable fields. The basis of quality standards for drinking-water is discussed in relation to common contaminants present on farms. Samples of drinking-water were collected in 1991–1992 from wells on about 1,200 farms in order to study the quality of rural groundwater in Ontario. Analysis showed that approximately one third of wells were contaminated with bacteria, 14% were contaminated with nitrate, two wells were contaminated with pesticide, but 40% were considered unsafe because of the presence of at least one contaminant. These values were similar to those reported for similar regions in the U.S. There was no significant effect of agricultural practice on the proportion of contaminated samples. One response of Ontario's farmers to information on water quality has been to initiate their own program, the Environmental Farm Plan, which has 23 modules by which the risk of environmental contamination can be assessed. Government policies for agriculture can be expected to influence farming practices. However, the literature suggests that the consequences of policies aimed at reducing environmental contamination are poorly understood, not least because the instruments used for implementation can have widely differing impacts. The need for discussions on the ethics surrounding the relationship between food producers and consumers with regard to environmental contamination is identified.     

A Comparison of Bacterial Indicators and Methods in Rural Surface Waters

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recommends the use of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and enterococci as indicators of enteric pathogens in fresh waters; however, fecal coliform analyses will remain important by virtue of the large amount of historic data collected in prior years. In this study, we attempted, in a real-world situation (i.e., a rural inland watershed in the Piedmont of South Carolina) to compare different bacterial indicators and methods to one another. We compared fecal coliforms, enumerated by membrane filtration with E. coli, enumerated by a commercialized enzyme substrate method and observed E. coli/fecal coliform ratios of 1.63 and 1.2 for two separate tests. In the same watershed, we observed an E. coli/fecal coliform ratio of 0.84 when we used the commercialized enzyme substrate method for both enumerations. Given these results, users of such data should exercise care when they make comparisons between historic membrane filtration data and data acquired through the use of the more modern enzymatic methods. Some sampling and side-by-side testing between methods in a specific watershed may be prudent before any conversion factors between old and new datasets are applied.

氢自养还原菌同步去除水中Cr(Ⅵ)和NO3-

本实验研究了序批式条件下Cr（Ⅵ）和NO₃^-浓度、pH值和H₂含量对于氢自养还原菌同步去除水中Cr（Ⅵ）和NO₃^-的性能及微生物群落的影响.结果表明：系统中存在氢气时,正常活性的氢自养还原菌可实现Cr（Ⅵ）的还原;Cr（Ⅵ）初始浓度不高于2000 μg/L时,Cr（Ⅵ）和NO₃^-的还原速率及氢自养还原菌的活性不会受到Cr（Ⅵ）初始浓度的影响;作为一种优先电子受体,NO₃^-会与Cr（Ⅵ）争夺电子,降低Cr（Ⅵ）的还原速率;氢自养还原菌同步还原Cr（Ⅵ）和NO₃^-的最佳pH值为7.0左右,酸性或碱性环境都会抑制Cr（Ⅵ）还原,且NO₂^-会随着pH值的升高逐渐积累;作为电子供体,H₂是还原Cr（Ⅵ）和NO₃^-的必要条件,但H₂足量后,过量提供H₂不能提高Cr（Ⅵ）和NO₃^-的还原速率.
