“…A water-level contour map was created by Wallace and Laney (1976) and later updated by Schwab (1995) to include major cation and anion data. Levings and Mann (1980) mapped the potentiometric surface and discrete specific conductance from well samples in central Arizona, including an eastern section of the Big Chino subbasin; Owen-Joyce and Bell (1983) described physical and chemical characteristics of the aquifers and surface water in the same study area. Predevelopment hydrologic conditions in alluvial aquifers in both the Big Chino and Little Chino subbasins were presented by Freethy and Anderson (1986).…”

Datum Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). Elevation, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum. Supplemental Information Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25 °C). Concentrations of chemical constituents in water are given in either milligrams per liter (mg/L) or micrograms per liter (µg/L). Activities for radioactive constituents in water are given in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). Results for measurements of stable isotopes of an element (with symbol E) in water, solids, and dissolved constituents commonly are expressed as the relative difference in the ratio of the number of the less abundant isotope (i E) to the number of the more abundant isotope of a sample with respect to a measurement standard. The conversion of picocuries per liter to Tritium Units (TU), based upon a tritium half-life of 12.32 years (Lucas and Unterweger, 2000), is: 1 TU = 3.22 picocuries per liter.

“…In the southcentral Colorado Plateau, it is referred to occasionally as the Coconino aquifer (Mann, 1976;Harper and Anderson, 1976) even though it is a continuation of the aquifer as it exists in Black Mesa. In the San Francisco Volcanic Field subprovince, the C multi-aquifer is referred to as the Coconino or Regional aquifer (Levings and Mann, 1980;Bills, 1980, 1981), the latter primarily because it becomes hydraulically connected to Early and Middle Paleozoic Limestones as well as to younger sediments of the Verde Formation. For simplicity, this discussion will call it the C multi-aquifer throughout.…”

Temperature data to depths of a few hundred meters were obtained from 29 wells in northeastern Arizona; in the region surrounding the San Francisco Volcanic Field, 8 in the Black Mesa area, and 9 in the south-central Colorado Plateau which includes the White Mountains. Although there was evidence for local hydrologic disturbances in many temperature profiles, most wells provided an estimate of the conductive thermal gradient at the site. A few thermal conductivities were measured and were combined with published regional averages for the north-central part of the Colorado Plateau to produce crude estimates of regional heat flux. None of the wells was accessible below the regional aquifers. To these depths, heat flow in the area of the San Francisco Volcanic Field appears to be controlled primarily by regional lateral water movement having a significant downward vertical component of velocity. The mean heat flow of 27 ± 5 mWm 2 is only a third to a quarter of what we would expect in this tectonic setting. The heat that is being carried laterally and downward probably is being discharged at low enthalpy and low elevation in springs and streams of the Colorado Plateau and Mogollon Rim. In the vicinity of Black Mesa, heat-flow averages about 60 mWm 2 , characteristic of the "cool interior" of the Colorado Plateau. North of the White Mountain Volcanic Field, the average heat flow is about 95 mWm 2 .-3-"SAN FRANCISCO vV"" SSCR %

Temperature data to depths of a few hundred meters were obtained from 29 we& in northeastern Arizona; 12 in the regicm surrounding the San Francisco Volcanic Field, in the Black Mesa area, and 9 in the south-central Colorado Plateau which includes the White Mountains.

The primary aims of this study are: 1) To make the temperature data available to interested workers; 2) to interpret these data to the extent possible in terms of the geology and hydrology of the region, and 3) to suggest some further studies which may help to unravel the complicated interaction between the earth's heat and groundwater in the region.
