1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4294
A 1,123-foot test hole was core drilled near Wendell, Idaho, during 1981-82 as part of the Snake River Plain regional aquifer study. An upper basalt unit, an intermediate unconsolidated sedimentary rock unit, and a lower basalt unit were penetrated by the test hole. Drilling verified that the upper several hundred...
Evaluation of major dike-impounded ground-water reservoirs, Island of Oahu
Kiyoshi J. Takasaki, John Francis Mink
1985, Water Supply Paper 2217
Ground-water reservoirs impounded by volcanic dikes receive a substantial part of the total recharge to ground water on the island of Oahu because they generally underlie the rainiest areas. These reservoirs accumulate the infiltration from rainfall, store it temporarily, and steadily leak it to abutting basal reservoirs or to streams...
Hydrology of the alluvial, buried channel, basal Pleistocene and Dakota aquifers in west-central Iowa
D. L. Runkle
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4239
A ground-water resources investigation in west-central Iowa indicates that water is available from alluvial, buried channel, basal Pleistocene, and Dakota aquifers. The west-central Iowa area includes Audubon, Carrol1, Crawford, Greene, Guthrie, Harrison, Monona, and Shelby Counties. Nine alluvial aquifers consisting of sand and gravel are in the valleys of the Little...
