Groundwater risks near the Grand Canyon explored with modeling and policy in mind
This nonfiction work examines a proposed Tusayan well and how pumping could affect springs below the Grand Canyon.
It explains the regional groundwater model, the geologic basis for the aquifer, and the key assumptions that influence predictions. The report also outlines a range of uncertainties and how they might change anticipated spring flows, plus practical recommendations for further analysis and monitoring.
Readers get a clear view of how water rights, federal policy, and local development intersect with science. The material is presented to help readers understand both the technical methods used and the stakeholder considerations involved in protecting park resources.
Ideal for readers of environmental policy, water resources, and Grand Canyon conservation who want a grounded view of method, risk, and decision making.
