Excerpt from Big Spring Recharge Area: Sole Source Aquifer Petition
Is particularly sensitive to contamination and pollution. In the case of surface streams, it is obviousthat a river cannot be protected without protecting the watershed area. Karst springs and their associated aquifer system present a similar situation in that one cannot protect them without protecting the aquifer recharge areas; the quality of Springs is directly dependent upon the quality of.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This deeply researched book presents a petition to designate the Big Spring Recharge Area in Missouri as a Sole Source Aquifer, and details the environmental protections that such designation would entail. The aquifer in question is a unique geological feature containing an upper and lower aquifer, with the upper aquifer feeding directly into springs and rivers within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The book emphasizes the sensitivity of this aquifer system to contamination due to its karst geology, with sinkholes and losing streams facilitating the rapid transport of pollutants into the groundwater supply. The book draws on extensive scientific studies, including dye tracing experiments, to illustrate the interconnectedness of the aquifer and the potential risks to drinking water sources and the local ecosystem. By providing scientific evidence and arguing for protective measures, this book contributes to the growing body of knowledge on groundwater protection and its critical importance for human health and the environment.
