Proceedings of a Workshop on Engineering and Hydrology Research Needs for Phosphate Mined Lands of Idaho Held at Pocatello, Idaho on June 5-6, 1984

摘要

The paper attempts to summarize the present state of the art of hydrology and engineering practices in he southeastern Idaho phosphate field. The information presented is of necessity broadly stated and serves as background material for the research needs that follow this paper. Present engineering and hydrology practices generally followed by the industry are quite sophisticated, as shown by the demonstrated success of land reclamation and revegetation on mined lands. This paper gives the reader an appreciation for the practices and the problems of engineering and hydrology, and provides a basis for increased understanding of the concerns of both land managers and the industry.
