HydroGeologic Assessment of the Pixley National Wildlife Refuge.

DE2008927344

Publication Date	2007
Personal Author	Quinn, N. W. T.
Page Count	26
Abstract	A hydrogeological assessment of Pixley National Wildlife Refuge was conducted using published reports from the USGS and private engineering consultants that pertained to land in close proximity to the Refuge and from monitoring conducted by refuge staff in collaboration with Reclamation. The compiled data clearly show that there are a large number of agricultural wells throughout the Basin and that water levels are responsive to rates of pumping--in some cases declining more than 100 feet in a matter of a few years. Aquifer properties support a groundwater conjunctive use solution to the provision of additional water supply to the Refuge. The report provides justification for this approach.
