We thank Joseph Rousseau of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for his encouragement and support of this work, for his helpful comments as an informal reviewer, and for the opportunity to publish these results. We also thank Linda Davis (USGS) for assistance with the borehole database and GIS-related work, and Daniel Ackerman and Gordon Rattray of the USGS for sharing insights and data on the subregional flow model. We are especially grateful to Molly Leecaster (CH2M-Washington Group), John Nimmo (USGS), and Kip Bossong (USGS) for their thoughtful reviews that materially improved the manuscript and to Mary Hodges (USGS) for her comments as an informal reviewer. Finally, the senior author wishes to recognize co-author Steven Anderson for his work on elucidating the stratigraphic framework of the Eastern Snake River Plain, without which this study would not have been possible.
