英文摘要	Study region: Mojave Desert, USA. Study focus: An integrated (near-surface geophysics, remote sensing, isotopic analyses) study was conducted in the Mojave River Basin and Morongo Groundwater Basin to investigate potential effects that the Helendale Fault [HF] and basement uplifts might have on groundwater flow in the Mojave Desert. New hydrological insights for the region: The HF traces were mapped using LiDAR and Geoeye-1 imagery (surface) and magnetic profiles (subsurface). Shallow basement parallel to and west of the HF was detected using the Vertical Electrical Soundings (VESs). Conductive water-saturated breccia was detected along the HF using the Very Low Frequency (VLF) electromagnetic measurements. Isotopic analyses (delta D and delta O-18) for groundwater samples from productive shallow wells, and springs sampled west of the HF and the basement uplift are less depleted (Group I: Fifteenmile Valley Groundwater sub-basin [FVGS]; average delta D: -86.8 parts per thousand.; delta O-18: -11.8 parts per thousand) than samples east of the basement uplift (Group II: Lucerne Valley Groundwater sub-basin [LVGS]; average bD: -95.0 parts per thousand.; delta O-18: -12.1 parts per thousand), whereas samples proximal to, the fault have compositions similar to Group I but show evidence for mixing with Group II compositions (Group III; average delta D: -88.8 parts per thousand; delta O-18: -11.5 parts per thousand). Findings are consistent with the HF channeling groundwater from the San Bernardino Mountains with basement uplifts acting as barriers to lateral groundwater flow and could be applicable to similar settings across the Mojave Desert and elsewhere worldwide.
