“…Therefore, only sediments containing water with less than 10,000 mg/L chloride concentrations are represented in figures 3 through 20 and discussed in the following sections. The estimated locations of 10,000 mg/L chloride concentrations within the aquifers are based on data presented by Meisler (1981) and are referred to in this report as the downdip limit of freshwater within the aquifers. The assumptions associated with choosing 10,000 mg/L chloride concentrations as the limit of fresh ground water are discussed further in the section on boundary conditions.…”

The RASA Program represents a systematic effort to study a number of the Nation's most important aquifer systems, which, in aggregate, underlie much of the country and which represent an important component of the Nation's total water supply. In general, the boundaries of these studies are identified by the hydrologic extent of each system and, accordingly, transcend the political subdivisions to which investigations have often arbitrarily been limited in the past. The broad objective for each study is to assemble geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical information, to analyze and develop an understanding of the system, and to develop predictive capabilities that will contribute to the effective management of the system. The use of computer simulation is an important element of the RASA studies to develop an understanding of the natural, undisturbed hydrologic system and the changes brought about in it by human activities and to provide a means of predicting the regional effects of future pumping or other stresses. The final interpretive results of the RASA Program are presented in a series of U.S.
