K.F. Dennehy, P. A. Davis
1981, Groundwater (19) 482-489

P. A. Hsieh, J.V. Tracy, C. E. Neuzil, J.D. Bredehoeft, Stephen E. Silliman
1981, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (18) 245-252
Transient pulse testing has been employed increasingly in the laboratory to measure the hydraulic properties of rock samples with low permeability. Several investigators have proposed a mathematical model in terms of an initial-boundary value problem to describe fluid flow in a transient pulse test. However, the solution of this problem...

Role of solute-transport models in the analysis of groundwater salinity problems in agricultural areas
Leonard F. Konikow
1981, Agricultural Water Management (4) 187-205
Undesirable salinity increases occur in both groundwater and surface water and are commonly related to agricultural practices. Groundwater recharge from precipitation or irrigation will transport and disperse residual salts concentrated by evapotranspiration, salts leached from soil and aquifer materials, as well as some dissolved fertilizers and pesticides. Where stream salinity...
Dissolution of salt on the east flank of the Permian Basin in the southwestern U.S.A.
K.S. Johnson
1981, Journal of Hydrology (54) 75-93
Hydrogeologic studies prove that natural dissolution of bedded salt occurs at shallow depths in many parts of the Permian Basin of the southwestern U.S.A. This is especially well-documented on the east side of the basin in study areas on the Cimarron River and Elm Fork in western Oklahoma, and on...
A transient laboratory method for determining the hydraulic properties of 'tight' rocks-II. Application
C. E. Neuzil, C. Cooley, Stephen E. Silliman, J.D. Bredehoeft, P. A. Hsieh
1981, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (18) 253-258
In Part I a general analytical solution for the transient pulse test was presented. Part II presents a graphical method for analyzing data from a test to obtain the hydraulic properties of the sample. The general solution depends on both hydraulic conductivity and specific storage and, in theory, analysis of...

Hydrology and geochemistry of thermal ground water in southwestern Idaho and north-central Nevada
H.W. Young, R.E. Lewis
1980, Open-File Report 80-2043
In southwestern Idaho and north-central Nevada, thermal groundwater occurs under artesian conditions in igneous or sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age. Temperatures of the groundwater range from 30 degrees to more than 80 degrees Celsius. Thermal waters are a sodium carbonate or bicarbonate type; nonthermal waters are a calcium bicarbonate. Chemical...
