<br />quickly flush these mdnerals back into the water, causing a temporary but <br />large increase in salinity. <br /> <br />An intensive water and sediment sampling study [23] was performed <br />in the Dirty Devil River Basin. Results of this study show that little <br />additional salt loading would occur due to dissolution of sediments. This <br />conclusion was supported by extensive chemical analysis which showed that most <br />minerals present in the channel sediments were relatively stable with regard <br />to extensive dissolution in this environment. <br /> <br />~9 <br />
