Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . : Preliminary studies at NMIMT have indicated that rainfall may contribute more to recharge than previously expected. Typically, rainfall has been viewed as penetrating vertically down through the land surface moving through the unsaturated zone and entering the saturated zone. Preliminary studies indicate that there is significant horizontal movement of water in the unsaturated zone even in the absence of confining layers. This study will look at recharge on slopes to determine the extent of horizontal flow and its effects on water distribution. and its effects on water distribution.distribution and movement in the unsaturated zone.

Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . : Despite the fact that ephemeral streams may provide the major source of recharge in some areas, factors which control the rate and amount of this recharge are poorly understood. The assumption is that recharge occurs as saturated flow during periods when the ephemeral streams are running. Preliminary data from this investigator indicate that this assumption may not be true. This project will compare recharge from 2 ephemeral streams (Rio Puerco & Rio Salado) with different stream bed permeabilities,channel geometries, flow durations, suspended sediment loads, discharge rates and depths to water table.

Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . : This project will approach the determination of recharge rates through the application of a new isotopic technique, the measurement of 36 Cl released in the environment by atmospheric weapons testing. The 'bomb' Cl fell out of the atmosphere at levels far above natural background during the period 1954-1964. This pulse of radioactivity provides a tracer for precipitation deposited during the period of atmospheric testing. By measuring the depth to which this pulse has penetrated the soil, net infiltration (recharge) can be determined directly. provide more accurate recharge rates than previous methods which relied on indirect measurements and calculations.

Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . : The relative importance of the unsaturated zone in affecting the stream-aquifer exchange flow will be investigated through the use of 3-dimensional saturated-unsaturated flow modeling. Simulations of hypothetical settings with various combinations of influential hydrologic variables and boundary conditions will help isolate the most critical factors affecting interrelated flow processes in surface waterways and adjacent aquifers. A 3-dimensional saturated flow model of a groundwater basin will be coupled to a variably saturated 3-D flow model of a segment of the stream-aquifer system.
