No abstract was published. A summary of the Introduction follows.
This historical data report is a potentially valuable management tool. It augments many of the management proposals presented in the Northern Guam Lens Study (NGLS). Statistical analyses contained in the report help provide characterization of individual wells, grouped water wells by geographical or geological areas and by management zone. This information can be applied in future hydrogeological investigations of the northern Guam aquifer. Water quality parameters were determined, including pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, turbidity, and bacteria. Results and recommendations are presented and discussed herein.
