Geography 470

This guide is intended to support research for the group project in the Geography 470 course. These sources will help help your group identify a unique scientific peer-reviewed article (one that no other group in your class is using) that will provide a model for a reasonable method for creating a GIS map of groundwater contamination that is adaptable for nitric pollution of groundwater in Wisconsin.
