- Description:
- Elevated levels of nitrate and the presence of fecal coliform bacteria occur in the Bancroft water supply wells. A study was conducted by scientists with the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute's " Technical Assistance for Rural Ground Water Development Within Idaho" project to assist the town in mitigating this problem. The study provides hydrogeologic data that accommodate these specific objectives: (1) Delineate the aquifer that supplies water to the Bancroft wells, and locate the recharge area for this aquifer. (2) Determine possible sources of contamination that may cause water quality problems. (3) Identify possible targets for future ground-water development. (4) Determine the reliability of the new water supply source.
