Groundwater conditions at Mammoth Lakes, Mono County, California
A study is presented which describes and evaluates the groundwater resources of Mammoth Lakes, with an emphasis on the aquifer characteristics of the primary hydrogeologic unit. The boundaries of the study area are roughly coincident with the limits of the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Mono Count...

A study is presented which describes and evaluates the
groundwater resources of Mammoth Lakes, with an emphasis on
the aquifer characteristics of the primary hydrogeologic
unit. The boundaries of the study area are roughly
coincident with the limits of the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Mono
County, California.
Groundwater-level measurements, aquifer test results and
pumpage records are analyzed in relation to the local
geologic framework. Drawdowns due to pumpage are examined,
and used to estimate the long-term aquifer characteristics.
The comparison of aquifer parameters calculated from long
term and short-term pumping periods provides the basis for
determining the sustainable pumpage of wells.
Due to the nature of groundwater occurrence, and the
presence of hydrologic boundaries, the amount of groundwater
in storage is limited. Therefore, groundwater development
must be based on groundwater inflow and other sources of
recharge, as opposed to withdrawing groundwater from storage
over the long term. |
