How do we get high levels of Anhydrous Ammonia out of our aquifers,since our USDA-NRCS and IDNR are allowing on-going point-scource channeling to sinkholes to drain farms in Mitchell County Recharge areas so this Big Oil Corp fertilizer can be applied?
Our drinking water and our children's has man-made Farm chemicals building up in our aquifers.

Hello, Anhydrous ammonia, which contains 82 percent nitrogen, is the most concentrated nitrogen fertilizer, as well as the “basic” nitrogen product that manufacturers upgrade into other nitrogen fertilizers such as urea and UAN solution. According to my experience once the aquifer is contaminated. its very hard to remove the contamination from it. The best way is to reduce or say stop the overuse of fertilizers.
