Unconsolidated-deposit aquifers - Alaska

Detailed Description

Coarse-grained alluvial and glacial out-wash deposits of Quaternary age are present in many of the lowland areas of Alaska and are known to yield large quantities of water in such places as Fairbanks and Anchorage. These coarse-grained deposits are likely to yield water in other places, if the deposits are unfrozen.
