Conceptual study of potential large underground reservoirs in southern Idaho Item Info

The purpose of the project was to study the concept of large underground reservoirs for use in Idaho. Four general categories of underground reservoirs were examined: 1) natural basins with artificial recharge, 2) natural underground caverns, 3) man-made underground reservoirs, and 4) reservoirs formed behind under ground barriers. Man-made underground caverns have potential usage for special purpose storage reservoirs. Underground barriers could be used to control the groundwater flow and to form large underground reservoirs in Idaho. The generalized benefits and environmental effects of an underground reservoir system were discussed.
