Major aquifers, well yields, estimated natural recharge, estimated water in storage, number of index wells and date of last water-level sweep are shown in Table 3.1-3 Figure 3.1-6 shows aquifer flow direction and water-level change between 1990-1991 and 2003-2004. Figure 3.1-7 contains hydrographs for selected wells shown on Figure 3.1-6. Figure 3.1-8 shows well yields in four yield categories.
A description of aquifer data sources and methods as well as well data sources and methods, including water-level
changes and well yields are found here. For more information on groundwater in the basin see Aravaipa Canyon Basin Hydrology.
Major Aquifers
- Refer to Table 3.1-3 and Figure 3.1-6.
-
Major aquifers in the basin are recent stream alluvium and basin fill.
-
The recent stream alluvium is the primary source of groundwater in the basin.
-
Flow direction is generally from southeast to northwest.
Well Yields
-
-
As shown on Figure 3.1-8 well yields in this basin range from less than 100 gallons per minute (gpm) to 2,000 gpm.
-
One source of well yield information, based on 36 reported wells, indicates that the median well yield in this basin is 350 gpm.
-
The highest reported well yields in the basin are located in unconsolidated sediments in the vicinity of the Klondyke and Klondyke-Bonita Roads.
