“…Additional groundwater data that include measurements from hundreds of pumping wells (not pumping at the time of measurement) are available from ADWR (Schmerge and others, 2009; Barnes and Putman, 2003;Barnes, 1997) and USGS (Konieczki, 1980). Water levels were assessed for linear trends using the methods of Tillman and others (2008) and a coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of 0.8 or greater.…”

“…Water levels that are higher than those of the history-matched steady-state simulation are caused by the generalized recharge quantity that is greater than the nongeneralized recharge quantity. Water-level increases typically were less than 20 ft; however, the area influenced is Observed (Konieczki, 1980) Simulated (Freethey, 1982) Well for which hydrograph is shown limited to a narrow zone along the basin edge where recharge occurs, gradients are large, and close matching of field-and model-head values are difficult to attain. These results indicate that generalizing recharge along a basin boundary does not greatly affect overall modeling results but can cause nonrepresentative water levels to be simulated in site-specific areas near the mountain fronts.…”

“…8). About 70 percent of the pumpage was for agricultural use; 14 percent was for industrial use; and 16 percent was for public-supply, domestic, and livestock uses (Konieczki, 1980). As a result of increased ground-water withdrawal, surface flow has decreased, underflow entering the area at the international boundary has increased, and discharge through evapotranspiration has decreased (Freethey, 1982).…”

The Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) program was started in 1978 after a congressional mandate to develop quantitative appraisals of the major groundwater systems of the United States. The RASA program represents a systematic effort to study a number of the Nation's most important aquifer systems which, in aggregate, underlie much of the country and which represent important components of the Nation's total water supply. In general, the boundaries of these studies are identified by the hydrologic extent of each system, and accordingly, transcend the political subdivisions to which investigations have often arbitrarily been limited in the past. The broad objective for each study is to assemble geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical information, to analyze and develop an understanding of the system, and to develop predictive capabilities that will contribute to the effective management of the system. The use of computer simulation is an important element of the RASA studies, both to develop an understanding of the natural, undisturbed hydrologic system, and of any changes brought about by human activities, as well as to provide a means of predicting the regional effects of future pumping or other stresses. The final interpretive results of the RASA program are presented in a series of U.S. Geological Survey Professional Papers that describe the geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of each regional aquifer system. Each study within the RASA program is assigned a single Professional Paper number and where the volume of interpretive material warrants, separate topical chapters that consider the principal elements of the investigation may be published. The series of RASA interpretive reports begins with Professional Paper 1400 and thereafter will continue in numerical sequence as the interpretive products of subsequent studies become available.

“…Parts of an unpublished report prepared in 1953 for the Arizona Public Service Company by Headman, Ferguson, and Carol la were made available by the Arizona Water Company and provided water-level, aquifer-test, water-use, and water-quality data for a small area near Naco, Arizona. Konieczki (1980) provided additional water-level data. Water-quality data were also provided by the Arizona Water Company and the Naco Water Company, Naco, Arizona.…”

The Bisbee-Naco area is in southeastern Arizona and northeastern Sonora, Mexico. Annual rainfall averages about 17 inches. The basin fill is the principal aquifer and supplies about 95 percent of all water for domestic purposes. The total ground water pumped in 1985 was about 6,500 acre-feet. Of that amount, 2,200 acre-feet was used for domestic use and the rest was used for irrigation and livestock. Domestic use is expected to increase 20 percent by the year 2000. Water levels at the Bisbee well field have remained virtually unchanged since 1953, but water levels have declined about 25 feet in areas east and southeast of the well field.. The native ground water in the area is a calcium bicarbonate type and generally# is suitable for domestic use. Ground water downgradient from a mine-tailings pond contains 650 to 850 milligrams per liter of sulfate. Recharge occurs naturally through direct infiltration of rainfall along the mountain fronts and through subsurface inflow from adjacent areas. Some water is recharged through direct infiltration from a mine-tailings pond, sewage ponds, septic systems, and urban runoff.The potential for contamination exists from mine tailings, sewage, and urban runoff. No other sources of drinking water are readily available in the immediate area. Potential alternate sources of drinking water are the aquifers underlying Sulphur Spring Valley and San Pedro River valley. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS1. Population in the Bisbee-Naco area was about 12,300 in 1980.Projected growth is expected to reach 16,000 by the year 2000.2. Climate is arid to semiarid with mild year-round temperatures. The average annual precipitation is about 17 in., of which about 36 percent occurs during July and August. Recent interest by developers and artisans has revitalized the economy of the area.In 1980 the population of the Bisbee-Naco area was about 12,300 according to figures provided by the cities of Bisbee, Arizona, and Naco, Sonora.Population in the area is expected to reach 16,000 by the year 2000 (Jesse B. Brown, Southeast Arizona Governments Organization (SEAGO), written commun., 1985). This figure represents an increase of about 33 percent over the 20-year period. Nearly 70 percent of this increase is
