Project Description

DRI will review existing well logs from the Nevada State Engineer's Office, masters' theses, and reports from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology and U.S. Geological Survey. The data will be reviewed for subsurface geology, general characteristics of the aquifer (thickness, depth to saturated zone, hydraulic gradient), and aquifer hydraulic properties (hydraulic conductivity, storage coefficient, and porosity). Data review will lead to the development of a conceptual model in which the geologic and hydrologic properties and controls of groundwater flow are proposed, and boundary locations and properties are defined.
