In the Verde Valley sub-basin, groundwater use has increased in
recent decades. Residents and stakeholders in the area have
established several groups to help in planning for sustainability
of water and other resources of the area. One of the issues of
concern is the effect of groundwater pumping in the sub-basin on
surface water and on groundwater-dependent riparian vegetation. The
Northern Arizona Regional Groundwater-Flow Model by Pool and others
(in press) is the most comprehensive and up-to-date tool available
to understand the effects of groundwater pumping in the sub-basin.
Using a procedure by Leake and others (2008), this model was
modified and used to calculate effects of groundwater pumping on
surface-water flow and evapotranspiration for areas in the
sub-basin. This report presents results for the upper two model
layers for pumping durations of 10 and 50 years. Results are in the
form of maps that indicate the fraction of the well pumping rate
that can be accounted for as the combined effect of reduced
surface-water flow and evapotranspiration. In general, the highest
and most rapid responses to pumping were computed to occur near
surface-water features simulated in the modified model, but results
are not uniform along these features. The results are intended to
indicate general patterns of model-computed response over large
areas. For site-specific projects, improved results may require
detailed studies of the local hydrologic conditions and a
refinement of the modified model in the area of interest.
