  Cache Valley Aquifer Storage and Recovery Site Assessment: Phase II

  Hydraulic parameters of aquifers in Cache Valley were compiled from existing but largely unpublished data

  from specific capacity data reported in well drillers' records

  and from aquifer tests conducted for this study. A GIS database was also created to organize this information.

  A strong inverse correlation exists between groundwater-levels and barometric pressure. Following successful quantification and removal of the barometric effects on water-level data

  the residual hydrographs result from Earth-tide induced crustal deformation stresses.

  Cache County is interested in storing water in the unconsolidated basin-fill aquifers of Cache Valley

  Utah. We have been exploring sites and methods to accomplish this task.

  National Ground Water Monitoring Network

  Collecting data for and maintaining a state-wide long-term water quality database of Utah groundwater.

  EPA Exchange Network

  1. Improve data connection between Utah Division of Drinking Water and the U.S. EPA\n2. Oversee creation of web interface for access to multi-agency chemistry data\n3. Create tools/scripts to analyze chemistry data.

  Snake Valley/West Desert Groundwater Monitoring Network

  In early 2007 the Utah State Legislature requested that the UGS establish a groundwater monitoring-well network in Utah’s west desert

  in response to proposed water-development projects in east-central Nevada and west-central Utah.\n\nGroundwater monitoring sites include wells

  surface-flow gages to measure spring discharge

  and shallow piezometers in wetlands established as part of a habitat inventory. Wells and piezometers are equipped with pressure transducers and data loggers that are downloaded quarterly. Surface-flow data are relayed to the Department of Natural Resources in real time via radio telemetry.
