<br />t~i~~ <br /> <br />CHAPTER I <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />the salt laden fissures in the shale formation. The water then flows somewhat <br />horizontally, picking up salt, and surfaces along the banks of the Big Sandy <br />River. A minor amount of water originates in the sand dunes east of the irri- <br />gated lands. The study will pick up at this point and identify ways of col- <br />lecting and disposing of the saline seeps either by pumping wells, collecting <br />river seeps and springs, or other ways developed by the planning process. <br /> <br />Current Activities <br /> <br />Data gathering is continuing with emphasis on basic discharge, water <br />quality data, and the salinity mechanisms producing the saline water. <br /> <br />The USGS is presently operating five gaging stations for continuous dis- <br />charge and where samples are collected monthly for quality determination. <br /> <br />Water and Power is collecting monthly water samples at established sta- <br />tions along the river for quality determination in addition to the USGS sta- <br />tions. The water levels in the lOO observation wells are measured monthly to <br />study the ground water fluctuation patterns. The last 18 observation wells <br />were test pumped during the summer of 1980 to complete the aquifer testing <br />program. <br /> <br />..1'-:. <br />~"-~' ~~ <br />-:;!~"* " <br /> <br />c~ <br />~_:,c_~7 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />CJll,60 <br />
