Seasonal change of nitrate concentration in the artesian wells ware investigated. The wells are around the paddy field in Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture. Nitrate is observed in the wells those dissolved oxygen concentration in relatively high. Ammonium is observed in the anaerobic wells. The average concentration of nitrate in every wells are under 10mg·l-1, however high concentration over 10mg·l-1 are observed in certain wells in summer season.
