Abstract
The Occurrence of Ground Water in the Canyonlands Area of Utah, With Emphasis on Water in the Permian Section
Abstract
The most important water-bearing zones in the Canyonlands area include the Navajo Sandstone-upper Kayenta Formation, White Rim Sandstone and Cedar Mesa Sandstone. Ground water circulation in these rocks generally converges northward on the Green and Colorado rivers, although this pattern is locally altered by the presence of deep canyons which serve as drains. Ground water circulation through the rocks in Canyonlands occurs primarily along joints, partings between beds, and within selected permeable clastic beds. Most springs in the area are small, yielding less than a few gallons/minute. Water quality is highly variable in the area but tends to deteriorate with depth in the sedimentary section. Most waters below the Cutler Group are brines.
