Deep oxygenated ground water: Anomaly or common occurrence?

Contrary to the prevailing notion that oxygen-depleting reactions in the soil zone and in the aquifer rapidly reduce the dissolved oxygen content of recharge water to detection limits, 2 to 8 milligrams per liter of dissolved oxygen is present in water from a variety of deep (100 to 1000 meters) aquifers in Nevada, Arizona, and the hot springs of the folded Appalachians and Arkansas. Most of the waters sampled are several thousand to more than 10,000 years old, and some are 80 kilometers from their point of recharge.

Records of wells and test holes in the Nevada Test Site and vicinity (through December 1966)

Hydrogeologic and construction data obtained from 119 test holes, wells, and emplacement holes at the Nevada Test Site and vicinity (through December 1966) are tabulated. The availability of cuttings, cores, lithologic logs, geophysical logs, formation-water analyses, hydraulic test data, and detailed construction data for each hole, as well as references to published reports for selected holes, are noted.

A Summary interpretation of geologic, hydrologic, and geophysical data for Yucca Valley, Nevada test site, Nye County, Nevada

This report summarizes an interpretation of the geology of Yucca Valley to depths of about 2,300 feet below the surface, the characteristics features of ground water in Yucca and Frenchman Valleys, and the seismic, gravity, and magnetic data for these valleys. Compilation of data, preparation of illustrations, and writing of the report were completed during the period December 26, 1958 to January 10, 1959. Some of the general conclusions must be considered as tentative until more data are available. This work was done by the U.S. Geological Survey on behalf of Albuquerque Operations Office, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
