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.
