dc.descriptionThe water balance for the Yuma area was detemined by estimating the water in storage and the potential for recharge. Annual precipitation is approximately 2.8 inches (7.1 cm) per year. Yuma has been a major agricultural area for over 30 years. As a result of the heavy pumpage of ground water, the upper 300 m of storage has been eliminated from the total storage estimates. Total water in storage below the 300 m horizon is estimated to be 359,700 hm 3 (291.6x10^6 acre-feet); the recoverable water is estimated at 101,500 hm 3 (82.3x10^6 acre-feet). Irrigation waters generally contain 1,000 to 2,000 mg/1 total dissolved solids. Long-term irrigation has caused a uniformity of water chemistry that tends to render the chemical geothermometers of little value. (32 p.)
