Summary:

The population of the Bitterroot Valley in western Montana increased rapidly in the 1990s, creating concern about the potential for degradation of water in local aquifers. From August 1994 through October 1997, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Ravalli County Board of Commissioners and the Bitterroot Conservation District, conducted a study of the aquifers underlying the Bitterroot Valley. This report describes the hydrogeology and assesses the sensitivity of the aquifers to degradation.
