Notizen:
The significance of the work associated with the protection of aquifers against salt-water encroachment, primarily in the area of Southern California goes far beyond the solution of this local problem. Engineers and planners are now able to turn to the record of extensive practice in the field of artificial ground-water recharge to modify the concepts based on theoretical studies. Thus depleted aquifers, anywhere, can be evaluated as potential reservoirs for the storage of ground water – evaluated as to cost, legal complications, and administrative design in the same way, and on the same basis, that surface-water impoundments are evaluated.The work done on the West Coast in artificial recharge increases the number of alternates that are available to the water planner and, in the long run, this may be the most significant output of the engineering, construction, and operation of the barrier projects.
