Ground-Water Storage in the Johnson Valley Area, San Bernardino County, California (open access)

Ground-Water Storage in the Johnson Valley Area, San Bernardino County, California

Abstract: The Mojave Water Agency includes several desert basins where ground water in storage is many times as great as the average annual recharge. The Johnson Valley area was evaluated to find (1) the quantity of ground water in storage, (2) the chemical quality of the ground water, and (3) the potential for storage of recharge water in the unsaturated zone. Johnson Valley contains about 250,000 acre-feet of water in storage, of which about half can be considered recoverable. About 250,000 acre-feet of void space in the unsaturated alluvium is available for storage of imported water, but considerably less than this amount of recharged water could be recovered. The quality of the water in storage is satisfactory for public consumption, although water from some areas has high fluoride concentrations and should be mixed with water of low fluoride concentration.

Ground Water in the Northeast Part of Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, Bagdad Area, California (open access)

Ground Water in the Northeast Part of Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, Bagdad Area, California

Purpose and scope: The U.S. Marine Corps conducts training maneuvers in the study area. Lack of a local source of water has severely limited the utilization of the area. In the past, limited quantities of water have been transported to the area by truck or helicopter. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of obtaining a supply of ground water in the area for use when field maneuvers are being conducted. The major effort for this study was concentrated on the part within the Marine Corps base boundary. The study involved the assessment of ground-water quality, ground water in storage, and aquifer characteristics.
