Geochemistry of salt-spring and shallow subsurface brines in the Rolling Plains of Texas and southwestern Oklahoma Geochemistry of salt-spring and shallow subsurface brines in the Rolling Plains of Texas and southwestern Oklahoma 1986

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.

Field studies and numerical modeling of unsaturated flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas Field studies and numerical modeling of unsaturated flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas 1991

Field studies and numerical modeling were used to evaluate hydraulic controls on unsaturated flow in the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas. These studies were part of a program to characterize a site for a proposed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility.
