Geohydrology of the Regional Aquifer System, Western Snake River Plain, Southwestern Idaho

摘要

The purposes of the study described in the report are to (1) define the geohydrology of the western Snake River Plain, incorporating new data and results of previous geologic, geophysical, and hydrologic investigations; and (2) develop a computer model of the regional ground-water system to simulate steady-state and transient hydrologic conditions. The scope of the work included water-level measurements to determine the potentiometric surface and direction of ground-water flow, computation of recharge and discharge rates, and estimation of horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and storage capacity of regional aquifers.
