Natural levels of nitrate in Minnesota groundwater are usually quite low (less than 1 milligram per liter [mg/L] of nitrate-nitrogen). However, where sources of nitrate such as fertilizers, animal wastes, or human sewage are concentrated near the ground surface, nitrate may seep down and contaminate the groundwater. Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are often caused by run-off from barnyards or feedlots, excessive use of fertilizers, or septic systems.
Wells most vulnerable to nitrate contamination include shallow wells, dug wells with casing which is not watertight, and wells with damaged, leaking casing or fittings.
Nitrate contamination of a well is often regarded as a first sign of deteriorating groundwater quality.
I think A. Y but honestly not so sureee
Everybody knows that positive charge is due to protons and negative charge is due to electrons, but what does the charge mean?
Why were negative and positive charges so designated?
Was it also a possibility to call the charge of an electron positive and the charge of a proton negative?
