Morrison Formation, San Juan Basin (15)

Comments on Geologic Parameters

15 Water Chemistry:

We located maps from Dam and others (1990) showing chemical-constituent diagrams on a map of the basin; however, these were not suitable for digitization. Also, Freethey (1987a) mentioned that the water is typically a sodium chloride type where concentrations exceed 35,000 mg/L and a calcium bicarbonate type where concentrations are less than 2000 mg/L.
