Why is this study important? This is the first published application of the Northern Arizona regional groundwater-flow model. It predicts the effect of either pumping from wells or of artificial recharge on streamflow in the Verde Valley Basin. Leake, S.A., and Pool, D.R., 2010, Simulated effects of groundwater pumping and artificial recharge on surface-water resources […]
Why is this study important? This study documents a powerful new tool—the Northern Arizona regional groundwater-flow model—that enables elected officials and water-resource managers to evaluate the future consequences of local or regional water-management policies for groundwater levels and streamflow in the Verde River Basin. Pool, D.R., Blasch, K.W., Callegary, J.B., Leake, S.A., and Graser, L.F., […]
Why is this study important? It is the product of the authorization by the United States Congress for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to assist in a collaborative and science-based water-resource planning and management partnership for the Verde River Basin. It describes the investigations needed in support of that authorization that will fulfill water-resource […]
Why is this study important? This study applies USGS Northern Arizona Regional Groundwater-Flow Model to directly examine the effect of groundwater pumping across the model area on the timing and magnitude of changes of base flow at the Paulden, Clarkdale, and Camp Verde streamgages. Similarly, it examines other hydrologic-system effects through time such as net […]
