abstract

Not available – first paragraph follows:

The huge trough known as the Central Valley of California is enclosed on the east by the gently rising slopes of the tilted igneous Sierra Nevada and on the west by the strongly folded and faulted Coast Range of more recent sedimentary formations. At one time, the trough was an arm of the sea and marine sediments dominated the deposits. In these sediments is contained a body of unsuitable saline entrapped water.
