## CLOSED FLOW GEOMORPHICSYSTEMS

- Landscapes with wetlands often have a closed, non-integrated stream system or at least a limited flow “deranged” flow system.
- DEPRESSIONS  till, sand dune, coastal, lacustrine, “playas” of Texas and Kansas
- Riverine backswamps are often closed or limited flow.
- Flats such as “pocosins and planosols”

- Data from Foss et al.

**Notes:**
Brine site 54 is near the village of Maxbass, ND north of Minot. The producing well averaged about 4 barrels of brine for every barrel of crude oil. The brine was placed in a clay lined pit noted in the figure. The well pumping starte in 1950 or so. The county road has a ditch on each side but no culvert exists under the road. In short the road is a barrier to overland flow.
