Preliminary evaluation of the hydrogeologic system in Owens Valley, California
W.R. Danskin
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4003
A preliminary, two-layer, steady-state, groundwater flow model was used to evaluate present data and hydrologic concepts of Owens Valley, California. Simulations of the groundwater system indicate that areas where water levels are most affected by changes in recharge and discharge are near toes of alluvial fans and along the edge...
Estimating average dissolved-solids yield from basins drained by ephemeral and intermittent streams — Green River basin, Wyoming
