An illustrated textbook, the Verde River Basin Water-Resources Primer – Understanding Our Water and Our Verde River Basin, was produced by the Verde River Basin Partnership, a science-based educational outreach organization, which merged into Friends of the Verde River in 2017. The purpose of this Primer is to provide well-explained, documented source material on the Verde […]

Numerical groundwater-flow models, many of which are based on software developed by the U.S. […]
