Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology and Water Resources of Owens Valley, California The older rocks appearing at the surface in the Owens Valley region consist of granite and more or less metamorphosed sediments, which are of Algonkian, Paleozoic, and Meso zoic age. The rocks are nearly impervious and, as they outcrop in a region of practically no rainfall, they probably do not contain much water. They form an impervious basin, however, for the water-bearing sands and gravels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
