Selected hydrologic data for the central Virgin River basin area, Washington and Iron Counties, Utah, 1915-97

Abstract: Hydrologic data were collected in Washington and Iron Counties, Utah, from 1995 to 1997 to better understand the hydrologic system. Data from earlier years also are presented. Data collected from wells include well-completion data, water-level measurements, and physical properties of the water. Data collected from springs and surface-water sites include discharge and physical properties of the water. Selected water samples collected from ground-and surface-water sites were analyzed for isotopes, chlorofluoroca… Show more

“…The trilinear diagram (Figure ) shows two potential end‐member waters in the Virgin River Gorge subarea: (1) Virgin River samples collected at VR‐8 and VR‐11 upstream of Littlefield Springs, and (2) a synthetic composite representing the carbonate aquifer. This composite was based on samples from the McCullough Well (MCW) completed in the Permian Kaibab Formation about 30 km east of the study area (Wilkowske and Heilweil ), Blue Point Spring (BPS) and Rogers Spring (RGS) discharging from gypsiferous carbonates near Lake Mead about 60 km southwest of the study area (Hershey et al ), and Lost Spring (LST) discharging from the Permian Kaibab Formation in the Virgin Mountains (this report; Figure ). LST is considered a carbonate‐aquifer end member for major and trace‐ion geochemistry, but not for age or recharge conditions since it is located south of the springs rather than receiving water from the primary recharge area in the northern part of the study area.…”
