Basin Fill Sandstone and Carbonate Aquifers, Basin and Range (10)

Arizona, Nevada, and California

Comments on Geologic Parameters

10 Fluid Residence Time:

Thomas and others (1996) presented several types of maps that display fluid residence time for the carbonate aquifers in Nevada. These maps are derived from carbon-13 and carbon-14 compositions of ground water. Flow rates are shown for Tertiary basin-and-range aquifers in Nevada in Harrill and others (1988).
