Edwards aquifer ground-water resources: geologic controls on porosity development in platform carbonates, south Texas Edwards aquifer ground-water resources: geologic controls on porosity development in platform carbonates, south Texas 1996

Focusing on the highly developed Edwards aquifer, which supplies water for a large area of south-central Texas, this report presents a three-dimensional model of the porosity distribution in the aquifer, which quantifies the spatial distribution of water resources and provides information that ca
