Quality of ground water in Idaho
Johnson J. Yee, William R. Souza
1987, Water Supply Paper 2272
The major aquifers in Idaho are categorized under two rock types, sedimentary and volcanic, and are grouped into six hydrologic basins. Areas with adequate, minimally adequate, or deficient data available for groundwater-quality evaluations are described. Wide variations in chemical concentrations in the water occur within individual aquifers, as well as...
