Chloride "is pervasive in Iowa groundwater"
December 30, 2009

The Iowa DNR has released a report on the second statewide survey of rural well water, and the report concludes that 94% of samples contained chloride at levels above the minimum detection limit. The report says the "pervasiveness of chloride in Iowa groundwater was unexpected" because chlorides shouldn't naturally appear in Iowa water -- they're thought to be the result of runoff from de-icing compounds and fertilizers.
