| Abstract: | Environmental geologists have been concerned with deleterious side effects of ground-water development such as enroachment of saline water and subsidence of the land surface. New uses of the subsurface environment, including fresh-water storage in saline aquifers, permanent containment of noxious wastes, and energy storage in the form of superheated water, should be considered. There are many potentially favorable and unfavorable environmental impacts of such uses. New and important research targets are field studies of transport phenomena, osmotic effects of clays, water softening by injecting and later withdrawing water from aquifers. The natural interrelationship of the practice of environmental enhancement and man's nature as a territorial proprietor is preferable to bureaucratic actions for the same purpose. |
