Abstract
The development of water resources in California to meet ultimate water requirements has necessitated planned operation of ground-water reservoirs for seasonal and cyclic storage of water. A problem that must be solved in such operations is the maintenance of suitable mineral quality of the ground water. This paper examines the sources and disposal of salts in ground-water reservoirs and illustrates relationships and requirements for water to maintain salt balance in a hypothetical ground-water reservoir. Deficiencies in present knowledge and in data-collection programs for the evaluation of salt-balance problems are considered.
