As ground water continues to provide an ever-growing proportion of Idaho's drinking water, concerns about the quality of that resource are increasing. Pesticides and nitrite plus nitrate as nitrogen have been detected in many aquifers in the State. To provide a sound hydrogeologic basis for atrazine and nitrate management in southern Idaho, the U.S. Geological Survey produced maps showing the probability of detecting these contaminants in ground water in the upper Snake River Basin (published in a 1998 report) and the western Snake River Plain (published in this report).
