Ground-water resources in the Carrizozo area, New Mexico
— Bhasker K. Rao
Abstract:
Ground water near Carrizozo, New Mexico, occurs in alluvium and in consolidated aquifers of Cretaceous age. Recharge to the aquifers occurs along mountain fronts. The mountain-front recharge is estimated to be approximately 3,000 acre-ft/year or nearly 7.5% of the precipitation. Observed water-level declines indicate local ground-water mining.
