“…As part of the overall planning strategy, the USPP tasked a multidisciplinary team of researchers to better characterize the hydrology of the Upper San Pedro Basin including that of the SPRNCA (Leenhouts et al, 2006). One facet of this work has been to quantify the riparian ET in the Upper San Pedro Basin (Scott et al, 2006b).…”

“…As an initial step in determining distinguishable cover types, the 2003 photographs were ground-truthed using field data (Leenhouts et al, 2006 and unpublished data from Gabrielle Katz, Appalachian State University). This process yielded six cover types (Table 2).…”

“…These studies include Coes and Pool's [28] assessment of ephemeral-stream channel and basin-floor infiltration and recharge, Gungle's [29] analysis of the timing and duration of ephemeral stream flow in the subwatershed, and Leenhouts and others' [30] analysis of the hydrology, vegetation-hydrologic relationships, and evapotranspiration requirements and plant-water sources in the SPRNCA. Leenhouts and others [30] established additional streamflow and groundwater monitoring in the subwatershed, including streamflow stage and permanence data, near-stream alluvial aquifer groundwater and vertical gradient monitoring, and a continuous meteorological and eddy covariance monitoring station for measurement of evapotranspiration in the SPRNCA.…”

Abstract:The San Pedro River originates in Sonora, Mexico, and flows north through Arizona, USA, to its confluence with the Gila River. The 92-km Upper San Pedro River is characterized by interrupted perennial flow, and serves as a vital wildlife corridor through this semiarid to arid region. Over the past century, groundwater pumping in this bi-national basin has depleted baseflows in the river. In 2007, the United States Geological Survey published the most recent groundwater model of the basin. This model served as the basis for predictive simulations, including maps of stream flow capture due to pumping and of stream flow restoration due to managed aquifer recharge. Simulation results show that ramping up near-stream recharge, as needed, to compensate for downward pumping-related stress on the water table, could sustain baseflows in the Upper San Pedro River at or above 2003 levels until the year 2100 with less than 4.7 million cubic meters per year (MCM/yr). Wet-dry mapping of the river over a period of 15 years developed a body of empirical evidence which, when combined with the simulation tools, provided powerful technical support to decision makers struggling to manage aquifer recharge to support baseflows in the river while also accommodating the economic needs of the basin.
