Selected Ground-Water Data for Yucca Mountain Region, Southern Nevada and Eastern California, Through December 1998

Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey in support of the U.S. Department of Energy Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project collects compiles and summarizes hydrologic data in the Yucca Mountain region. The data are collected to allow assessments of ground-water resources during studies to determine the potential suitability of Yucca Mountain for storing high-level nuclear waste. Data on ground-water levels at 34 wells and a fissure (Devils Hole) ground-water discharge at 5 springs and a flowing well and total reported ground- water withdrawals within Crater Flat Jackass Flats Mercury Valley and the Amargosa Desert are presented for calendar year l998. Data collected prior to l998; are graphically presented and data collected by other agencies (or as part of other Geological Survey programs) are included to further indicate variations of ground-water levels discharges and withdrawals through time.
