Investigation of the hydrologic monitoring network of the Willcox and Douglas Basins of southeastern Arizona: A project of the Rural Watershed Initiative

Abstract

In 2005, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), began an investigation of the geology and hydrology of the Willcox and Douglas Basins (primarily focusing on the hydrologic monitoring network) as part of the Rural Watershed Initiative (RWI). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the data-collection network that is used to monitor hydrologic conditions and ground-water storage changes in the Willcox and Douglas Basins.
