Saltwater in shallow aquifers in east-central and northeastern Louisiana and southeastern Arkansas
G. F. Huff, J.P. Bonck
1993, Open-File Report 93-494
The chemistry of water from irrigation and monitor wells in east-central Louisiana indicates the presence of saltwater in the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer and the uppermost part of the Jasper aquifer system. The salinity of this groundwater makes it unsuitable for use in irrigation of salt-sensitive crops. The geochemistry of...
Hydrologic and water-quality data for the East River Basin in northeastern Wisconsin
