- Abstract
The article reports on the chemical ratios and groundwater contamination in east Texas. Multiple sources of contamination often impact groundwater quality. These sources may be anthropogenic, natural, or a combination of both. Chemical ratios can be useful for identifying probable sources of groundwater contamination. The purpose of this study was to map and interpret chemical ratios in groundwater of east Texas. The studies conducted in various regions has shown that certain chemical ratios may be useful for identifying salt domes, lignite deposits, or oilfield brine as sources of groundwater contamination.
