Abstract
A one-year study was made of the salt concentrations of rainfall and the static water table across the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. A linear decrease in salt concentration was observed with logarithmic distance inland. The concentrations of individual ions determined, except calcium, follow the logarithmic relationship. The salt content of the shallow saline groundwater also decreases with distance inland. The decline in groundwater salt concentration with distance inland was more rapid than the decline in annual salt deposition by rainfall. /Author/
