Strengths |
Built on previous aquifer mapping work, tying gw with the geologic environment it resides in. Sets context for more detailed aquifer characterization studies. |
Limitations |
Not applicable to site specific decisions by resource managers. |
Challenges |
The mapping of potential aquifers in buried paleovalleys is difficult without the data. |
Outstanding Research Questions |
Are there higher yielding structures (e.g., increased areas of fracturing in vicinity of faults) within the bedrock formations? |
