Fractured-rock aquifers, understanding an increasingly important source of water
Allen M. Shapiro
2002, Fact Sheet 112-02
Ground water is one of the Nation's most important natural resources. It provides drinking water to communities, supports industry and agriculture, and sustains streams and wetlands. A long record of contributions exists in understanding ground-water movement in sand and gravel aquifers; historically, these aquifers were easily accessible and the first...
