Playas and recharge of the Ogallala aquifer on the southern High Plains of Texas -- an examination using numerical techniques Playas and recharge of the Ogallala aquifer on the southern High Plains of Texas -- an examination using numerical techniques 1997

This study used a numerical model to examine the playa-focused recharge theory by comparing it with the spatially uniform approach and with a zonal approach.

Spatial variability in unsaturated flow beneath playa and adjacent interplaya settings and implications for contaminant transport, southern High Plains, Texas Spatial variability in unsaturated flow beneath playa and adjacent interplaya settings and implications for contaminant transport, southern High Plains, Texas 1997

Analysis of spatial variability in unsaturated flow is critical to evaluating contaminant transport in areas of focused or preferential flow. This study examined spatial variability at a variety of scales from focused flow through playas to preferential flow in macropores.

Hydrogeologic investigations of deep ground-water flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas Hydrogeologic investigations of deep ground-water flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas 1992

Regional and local hydrologic investigations were conducted in Trans-Pecos Texas as part of a study to evaluate potential sites for a low-level radioactive waste repository.

Integration of ground-water and vadose-zone geochemistry to investigate hydrochemical evolution: a case study in arid lands of the northern Chihuahuan Desert, Trans-Pecos Texas Integration of ground-water and vadose-zone geochemistry to investigate hydrochemical evolution: a case study in arid lands of the northern Chihuahuan Desert, Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

The hydrochemical history of ground water in the arid southeastern Hueco Bolson and southwestern Diablo Plateau was investigated by collecting soil-moisture samples from unsaturated siliciclastic bolson-fill sediments and groundwater samples from the Diablo Plateau aquifer, the Hueco Bolson silt

Subsidence and collapse at Texas salt domes Subsidence and collapse at Texas salt domes 1988

Subsidence at salt domes results from man-induced and natural removal of salt, cap rock, minerals within the cap rock, and supradomal fluids. In the Houston diaper province, Frasch sulfur mining as caused subsidence bowls and collapse sinkholes at 12 of the 14 sulfur productive domes.
