Numerous salt-emission areas exist within the Permian outcrop in the Rolling Plains of Texas and southwestern Oklahoma. Sodium chloride waters underlie the area at relatively shallow depths, discharge from salt springs and salt seeps, and greatly impair the quality of ground and surface waters. This study distinguishes between brine derived from dissolution of halite by fresh, locally recharged ground water in a shallow ground-water system and brine derived from deep-basin brine aquifers.
