Summary of Hydrologic Conditions at Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside County, Calif., 1956-59 is a detailed U.S. Geological Survey report that investigates groundwater in Pinto Basin and nearby wells. The book describes drilling and test pumping, water quality, and long-term changes in water levels, with a focus on how pumping affects the basin’s stored water and the surrounding ecosystem.
This edition summarizes field work from 1956 to 1959, including well depths, pumping rates, and the relationship between multiple wells. It also explains how water quality in Pinto Basin compares with irrigation and drinking-water standards, and it discusses fluoride levels and sodium content for different uses. The report ties the hydrologic data to the broader ecological balance within the monument and to decisions about groundwater use.
- Field investigations: drilling, test pumping, and measured yields in Pinto Basin wells
- Water quality: mineral content, fluoride levels, and suitability for irrigation or drinking
- Water-level trends: observations from wells 1, 2, and 9 and their interdependence
- Conservation implications: how stored groundwater supports the desert ecosystem and allowed uses
Ideal for readers interested in desert hydrology, groundwater resources, and how scientific data informs watershed management in protected areas.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth look at the geological composition and fluctuating water levels of the Pinto Basin in California, United States. The author's research supplements a previous study on the same subject, updating water level measurements and analyzing the effects of pumping on the area's groundwater. Drilling and testing of new wells, chemical water quality analysis, and the creation of water level charts contextualize the study. The book delves into the effects of natural and manmade factors on the basin's water resources, highlighting the importance of understanding these dynamics for sustainable water management.
