... Salts are commonly applied to roads to reduce icing during the winter; dissolved salt can subsequently contaminate groundwater; estimates of hydraulic conductivity are needed to quantify the movement of salt ions through the sand and gravel aquifer near state route 25 in southeastern MA so that the effects of road salt application on the water quality of the aquifer, a source of public water supply, can be evaluated; a detailed description of each method used for estimation is provided and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed ...
