Water Quality (under construction)

[Photo]: SDEF vegetation view

Emissions of nitrogen oxides in the South Coast Air Basin of southern California are among the most extreme in the nation. Resulting atmospheric nitrogen deposition to vegetation at San Dimas, as measured by canopy throughfall of nitrate and ammonium, has been at record levels nationally and is apparently a primary source of nitrate pollution in stream water there.
