G. B. MAXEY AND R. N. FARVOLDEN: Hydrologic Factors in Problems of Contamination in Arid Lands. Ground Water. Vol. 3, No. 4. p. 29-32. Oct. 1965. The ideal hydrologic system in arid lands includes a recharge area in lowlands, a system modified in nature by geological and physiographic factors. Population and agricultural activity concentrates in valleys, usually in zones of ground water discharge. Most water-supplies are contaminated and disposal problems arise from this combination of features. The suitability of hydrogeological units for any form of operation involving water supply or waste disposal depends primarily on their position within the hydrologic system and secondarily on physical properties. For example, at the Nevada Test Site the ground water flow system is used to good advantage, whereas at Las Vegas, 70 miles away, the methods of disposal practices are in direct conflict with the system.
