Author(s): Yakimik L, Yildiz Y

The purpose of this study was to build a functioning model aquifer similar to New Jersey Paterson’s natural aquifer, and then demonstrate if this aquifer can filter 90% of the nonpoint source pollution such as road salt and fertilizer. The result for salinity show approximately 50% of the road salt filtered by the aquifer.
