Abstract

The main source of chloride in the system was identified as Treverton Creek and its tributaries, waters here containing in excess of 80 p.p.m. chloride. A perched water table of inferior quality probably feeds into Macintyre Brook near the tobacco-growing area, increasing chloride content to an average of 55 p.p.m. Springs of low-quality water also affect the chloride content of the main stream in places. The practical implications of a water supply containing more than 40 p.p.m. chloride for land use in the area are discussed.
