Nantucket: Water System
Protecting the groundwater to protect the Island's natural resources.
This capstone student project is based on the three independent studies that are focusing on Nantucket Island's water system; including ground water assessments and eutrophication issues caused by access nutrients, mainly from anthropogenic sources. While addressing existing and potential solutions, students are also asking: How would nature solve to much nutrients in water? Abstract
