Description

The systematic water quality control of the Regional Water Supply of Ujkigyos, providing 18000 m3/day of drinking water, always resulted in high contents of NH4 (average: 2 mg/l) and some chemical components (As, CH4) exceeding the allowed limit for drinking water. The stable nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N) of the ammonium dissolved in the supplied water was measured to determine the origin of the NH4. (R.P.) 5 refs. 1 fig
