Hydrologic and Water Quality Data from the Cedar River and Cedar River Alluvial Aquifer, Linn County, Iowa, 1990-2019
October 28, 2021
Surface and groundwater samples were collected, processed, and analyzed for pesticides, nutrients, organic carbon, and inorganics as part of a cooperative study with the City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Filtered and whole water samples were sent to the National Water Quality Laboratory in Denver, Colorado. U.S. Geological Survey staff collected field properties and discharge measurements in-situ. Discrete nitrate plus nitrite nitrogen samples were collected by the Cedar Rapids Utilities Water Department, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Hydrologic and water-quality conditions in the Cedar River alluvial aquifer, Linn County, Iowa, 1990–2019
Alluvial aquifers in Iowa have more wells with nitrate exceeding drinking-water standards than other aquifers; are susceptible to contamination by organic contaminants; and have high concentrations of naturally occurring iron and manganese in depositional areas that contain abundant organic matter. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, studied the Cedar Ri
