Abstract
A water quality index was developed and used to evaluate the water quality of agricultural irrigation return flows. The index is based on multivariate factor analysis. The geographical applicability of the proposed index is examined.

Use of chlorofluocarbons to date ground water: a comparison to the tritium method
Sertic (McKay), Kathy Ann (University of Nevada, Reno, 1992)The presence of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in ground water indicates the water has been recharged within the last 30-40 years. Therefore, CFCs may be an alternative to tritium for dating ground water. Since atmospheric ... -

Use of major ion chemistry and environmental isotopes to delineate subsurface flow in Eagle Valley, Nevada
Szecsody, James Edward (University of Nevada, Reno, 1982)Snow sampling in the main recharge mountains of Eagle Valley indicates non-equilibrium fractionation of stable isotopes from: 6D/H = 6.0 ( 618o/160)-14 . There is significant correlation of isotopic depletion with elevation ... -

Evaluation of factors influencing the inorganic water-quality regimen of Carson River, Carson Valley, Nevada-California
Spane, Frank A., Jr. (University of Nevada, Reno, 1977)Carson River exhibits a significant increase with respect to dissolved solids concentration as it flows through Carson Valley. The increase in dissolved solids is particularly evident during late summer and early fall ...
