In 2010, Idaho released fluorescent dye into a well near Malad Gorge to map hidden groundwater routes; later tests traced it through domestic wells up to 3.1 miles away
In a groundbreaking experiment, scientists utilized fluorescent dye to investigate the movement of underground water near Malad Gorge. The findings showed that groundwater within the fractured volcanic rock traveled remarkably fast, approaching two thousand feet daily. This study illuminated the hidden pathways of Idaho’s largest aquifer system, which is essential for effective water resource management…
