<br />OF as it descends through thousands of feet of Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary rocks. As the water
<br />descends through the Eagle Valley Evaporite, it becomes saline by dissolution of bedded gypsum and
<br />halite.
<br />8. Water in the Devonian and Mississippian carbonate rocks hydrostratigraphic unit generally
<br />flows from mountains and plateaus to stream valleys and structural basins. Water movement is af-
<br />fected strongly by the White River Plateau and by a divide extending between the Uinta Mountains
<br />and Park Range. Streams, springs, and wells intercept some of the water in circulation. Water in the
<br />Sand Wash, Piceance, and Burns basins percolates into overlying Paleozoic rocks. Regional discharge
<br />south of the Uinta Mountains-Park Range divide is toward the confluence of the Green and Yampa
<br />Rivers.
