The Navajo Nation covers over 26,000 miles of largely arid land. Most community members use unregulated water sources which are rarely, if ever, tested for contaminants. The purpose of this research is to provide water quality testing to underserved populations, to provide resources to improve local water quality and quantity and to educate the public on how to maintain the quality of their local water source. Approval was obtained from Navajo Nation IRB NNR-08-229 to survey community members, test the unregulated wells they were using and report back any problems found. In partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno, wells were tested in three chapter areas (analogous to counties) in the Northern Agency of the Navajo Nation. Widespread contamination from E.coli was found. In addition, several heavily used wells exceeded MCL for arsenic and uranium. The results were reported back to the communities impacted as well as the Navajo Nation IRB. As a result a public meeting was called of all relevant tribal agencies and water quality researchers in order to coordinate efforts and to improve the situation as quickly as possible. To this end, a Water Quality Task Force was established.
