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

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.

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.

Environmental and applied tracers as indicators of liquid and vapor transport in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas Environmental and applied tracers as indicators of liquid and vapor transport in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas 1992

Chemical and physical approaches are used to study unsaturated flow; however, few studies include an in-depth analysis of data from both approaches.

Relationship between arid geomorphic settings and unsaturated zone flow:  case study, Chihuahuan desert, Texas Relationship between arid geomorphic settings and unsaturated zone flow: case study, Chihuahuan desert, Texas 2000

Because geomorphic features can readily be mapped, our ability to characterize unsaturated flow over large areas would be greatly enhanced if relationships between geomorphic settings and unsaturated flow could be identified.
