Management for Natural & Industrial Hazards
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?
