Table 8. Geochemical modeling results for interbasin flow, Basin and Range carbonate-rock aquifer system study area, Nevada and Utah.

[Flow path No. matches corresponding number in figure 45. Boundary or divide: HA, hydrographic area; IB, intrabasin. Geochemical model, mixtures of initial and recharge waters, represents total mixture of initial and recharge waters for first (upper mixture) and second (lower mixture) model evaluations. Initial water, first point along selected ground-water flow path. Recharge water contributed from surrounding recharge areas]

Flow path location and sites				Geochemical model – mixtures of water (percent)	Geochemical model results
Flow path No.	Initial	Final	Boundary or divide	Initial – Recharge	Geochemical model results
1	Northern Spring Valley	Northern Snake Valley	HA	0 – 100 30 – 70	Supports ground-water flow path
2	Southern Spring Valley	Southern Snake Valley	HA	0 – 100 100 – 0	Supports ground-water flow path
3	Southern Steptoe Valley	Southern Spring Valley	HA	70 – 30 100 – 0	Supports ground-water flow path
4	Lake Valley	Southern Spring Valley	HA	95 – 5 100 – 0	Supports ground-water flow path
5	Southern part of northern Spring Valley	Northern part of northern Spring Valley	IB	0 – 100 60 – 40	Supports ground-water flow path
6	Central Spring Valley	Southern Spring Valley	IB	20 – 80 40 – 60	Supports ground-water flow path
7	Central White River Valley	Southern White River Valley	IB	40 – 60 60 – 40	Supports ground-water flow path
