Study of De-icing Salt Accumulation and Transport Through a Watershed
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has released a report that analyzes the transport of chloride in surface waters of a metro-area watershed to characterize chloride transport by surface runoff, the residence time of chloride in surface water, and how variations in weather influence chloride transport and accumulation processes. This research seeks to aid the mitigation of chloride in surface waters and groundwater that occur from road deicing.
