Applications of geohydrologic concepts in geology
G. B. Maxey, J. E. Hackett
1963, Journal of Hydrology (1) 35-45
Subsurface water, an active agent in many geologic proceses, must be considered in interpreting geologic phenomena. Principles of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of subsurface waters are well established and readily applicable. In many interpretations in geologic literature, geohydrologic principles have been employed realistically, but in many others these principles...
