Abstract

In order to investigate the impact of the 1988 forest frres on the chemistry and water quality of shallow ground water in Yellowstone National Park, a two-year regime of sampling and analysis was begun in August, 1989. Samples from ground-water wells for which pre-fire chemical data could be obtained were selected for this study.
