Scientists studying the volcanic landscape of the Cascade Range found that an aquifer has nearly three times as much water as ...
The well, wide enough to fall into, taps into the Ogallala aquifer, the immense underground freshwater basin that makes modern life possible in the dry states of Middle America. We have come to ...
Why are aquifer susceptibility (vulnerability) maps useful? Aquifer vulnerability mapping is a spatially distributed measure of the susceptibility of an area to groundwater contamination. Aquifer ...
Researchers have long known there was some kind of aquifer in the Cascade Mountains that feeds rivers like the McKenzie and the Deschutes. But they never knew just how big it might be — until ...
A stony outcropping of the sponge-like rock that makes up the Ogallala Aquifer is exposed in the hills high above Scott State Fishing Lake in Scott County, Kansas. The lake is spring-fed from ...
A massive aquifer is stored just beneath volcanic rocks at the crest of the central Oregon Cascades — possibly the largest aquifer of its kind in the U.S., according to researchers at the ...
The subterranean aquifer takes in mass amounts of snowmelt and rainwater, where it percolates for seven to 10 years before fueling many of Oregon’s most famous rivers through gushing springs.
