"The volume contains a wealth of ceramic type-variety descriptive and interpretive data, as well as an excellent descriptive treatment of the ethnobotanical remains, and solid coverage of the lithic, faunal, and other classes of artifactual materials. The quality of illustrative material is excellent, including outstanding field and artifact photography and carefully prepared charts and line drawings."—American AntiquityTable of Contents

Water infiltration and percolation at the University of Arizona radioactive waste burial site, Pinal County, ArizonaThe University of Arizona produces different types of radioactively contaminated waste. It is shipped to a burial site located on the Oracle Agricultural Center in Pinal County, Arizona and disposed of in shallow pits. This study dealt with water movement at the disposal site. Monitoring of water movement through young pits was accomplished with a neutron probe. It was found that due to slumping and cracking of the pit cap, the younger pits were very susceptible to greater than normal water infiltration. Further data were gathered around the older pits by deep soil sampling for tritium activity. Water fluxes and travel times to the major aquifer were calculated from these data. Estimates of travel times range from 40 to 230,000 years to reach the principal aquifer at 150 m.

A recursive programming analysis of water conservation in Arizona agriculture : a study of the Phoenix active management areaArizona agriculture faces many changes in the near future. One of the most imminent changes will come from the enactment of the 1980 Arizona Groundwater Management Act. The 1980 AGWMA is designed ultimately to curtail the use of groundwater in Arizona. Agriculture will be affected since this sector used approximately 87 percent of all water in the State in 1980. This study reports on the possible effects that a proposed pump tax and water duty policy would have on agriculture within the Phoenix Active Management Area. The PAMA is one of four such areas in the State that have been identified as needing groundwater use management. The results of this study indicate that the proposed water duty is more effective in curbing groundwater use than the proposed pump tax. Investment in more water application efficient irrigation technologies is also important in this study. However, substantial amounts of capital investment funds will be needed to begin this investment.

Recharge from ephemeral streams : case study in ArizonaInfiltration losses and recharge to groundwater at a section of Rillito Creek at Tucson, Arizona, were analyzed using data from two flood events in December 1959 and January 1960. Assuming infiltration losses are a function of stream discharge and using empirical equations developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, infiltration loss at the section was estimated to be 2.24 x 10⁶ m³/km. Estimates of recharge were obtained by two indirect methods: (1) A deconvolution integral in which the impulse response function is derived from the one-dimensional diffusion equation and the output functions are based on well hydrographs. The recharge values ranged between 1.41 x 10⁶ m³/km and 2.07 x 10⁶ m³/km depending on values of aquifer diffusivity obtained from the literature (al = 6,000 m²/day and (α₂ = 3,000 m²/day). (2) A groundwater mound method gave a recharge value ranging between 0.86 x 10⁶ m³/km and 1.29 x 10⁶ m³/km depending on the effective porosity values (0.10, 0.15). Over all, an average of 70 percent of transmission losses reached and recharged the groundwater reservoir. However, this figure should not be generalized because recharge conditions are favorable in the Rillito Creek area.
