Low lying tracts of ground lying northwest of the Chowilla dam site are proposed for use as storage - evaporation basins for highly saline water produced in small quantities from excavations during construction of the dam and possibly in larger quantities for an unspecified period after construction is completed. The area has been investigated by drilling and trenching to establish the geological sequence and to test the nature and thickness of clays lying close to the surface of the basins. The present static level of the groundwater under the general area has also been determined. Various laboratory tests of the clays have been initiated and proposals made for further work including field tests and detailed geological mapping in key areas.
