During 1979-84, 35 wells completed in the principal aquifer in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah, that had been sampled during 1962-67 were resampled to determine if water-quality changes had occurred. The dissolved-solids concentration of the water from 13 of the wells has increased by more than 10 percent since 1962-67.

This report, which is the second report resulting from the study, emphasizes sources of contamination of the ground water and chemical-quality changes during 1969-85: the report includes predicted effects of increased withdrawals on the chemical quality of the ground water.
