a. One part per million is equivalent to one pound of substance per million pounds of water or 8.33 pounds per million gallons of water.
b. N, Neogene; Npl, Pleistocene deposits; No, Ogallala Formation; Kd, Dakota Formation; Kc, Cheyenne Sandstone; TRd, Dockum Group.
c. In areas in which the nitrate content of water is known to exceed 45 ppm, the public should be warned of the potential dangers of using the water for infant feeding (U.S. Public Health Service, 1962, p. 7).
