Nitrate Probability Ranking Maps and Reports

Example of Nitrate Probability Ranking Map:

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has developed nitrate-nitrogen (nitrate) probability maps to assist in state and local water quality planning efforts. These maps identify areas of a county with relatively high, moderate, and low probability of having elevated nitrate concentrations in ground water. The maps can be found within the reports found at:
