Nevada - basic data for thermal springs and wells as recorded in Geotherm; Part A
James D. Bliss
1983, Open-File Report 83-433-A
GEOTHERM, a computerized information system now off-line, was used to maintain data on the geology, geochemistry and hydrology of geothermal sites primarily within the United States. The system was proposed at the First Geothermal Implementation Conference in New Zealand in 1974 (Swanson, 1977) and was active until 1983. The primary...

An adjusted water budget prepared for Pine Lake, a candidate for lake-quality restoration, indicates that of approximately 790 acre-feet of water that enters the lake in a typical year, 410 acre-feet is from precipitation, 350 acre-feet is from surface inflow, and 30 acre-feet is from ground-water seepage. A nearly equal...

Transport of reacting solutes in porous media: Relation between mathematical nature of problem formulation and chemical nature of reactions
Jacob Rubin
1983, Water Resources Research (19) 1231-1252
Examples involving six broad reaction classes show that the nature of transport-affecting chemistry may have a profound effect on the mathematical character of solute transport problem formulation. Substantive mathematical diversity among such formulations is brought about principally by reaction properties that determine whether (1) the reaction can be regarded as...
