A field experiment has been installed near Firebaugh in the San Joaquin Valley of California to test submergence of drains as a means of denitrification of ground water. Laboratory and field experiments have shown that denitrification occurs in saturated soil where there is ample organic carbon available for bacterial metabolism. Denitrification and dilution of high nitrate ground water were accomplished in the field.
