To continue to investigate causes of salinity in surface <br />runoff from public lands. <br /> <br />2. To investigate causes of salinity in groundwater. <br /> <br />3. To incorporate research findings into salinity control <br />procedures. <br /> <br />4. To further test the validity of existing erosion control <br />techniques for their ability to control salinity. <br /> <br />B. Specific Objectives: <br /> <br />1. To assess the salt contribution from groundwater throughout a <br />vast area within the Upper Basin. This includes collection and analysis <br />of data from key locations not previously investigated. Also to analyze <br />these and existing data to obtain a more complete picture of the quantity <br />and quality of groundwater. Finally, to relate groundwater data to <br />geologic formations and other site conditions. This work was contracted <br />to the Geological Survey (GS). <br /> <br />2. To investigate specific saline groundwater point discharges <br />and to monitor quantity and quality of water and yearly variations. <br /> <br />3. To study the technical and economic feasibility of control- <br />ling point sources of saline groundwater discharge. <br /> <br />4. To develop specific control practices that will best reduce <br />salinity in surface runoff. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />. ~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ _ .;0-" _, . ,,,-,,- <br />
