  • Bacteriological Water Quality Trend Analysis in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona
    GROUND WATER/SURFACE WATER INTERACTIONS JULY 1-3 AWRA SUMMER SPECIALTY' CoNFEltENCE 2002 BACTERIOLOGICAL WATER QUALITY TREND ANALYSIS IN OAK CREEK CANYON, ARIZONA Boris Poffand Aregai Teele' ABSTRAC'I· The purpose of this paper is to analyze the temporal and spatlal rustnbutmn of bactenal contaInlnatlon at Sltde Rock State Park In Oak: Creek Canyon, Arizona. Oak creek Canyon has a magnificent landscape. highly diversified riparian [lluno and nora and an mVlgoratmg chmate, that attracts several thousand visitors each week. Recreational activities include hlkmg, mountam bIking, rock climbing, campi.ng, fishing, and swimming. These activities have led to water quabty concerns tr1 the creek. Anzona State Park employees at the Slide Rock State Park have been monitoring the stream running through the park for bacteno!oglcal contaInlnants since 1995. Stream water sample analyses at various tunes have indicated the amount of bacteria in the stream rising well above acceptable levels. There are a number ofsources for the contamination, including livestock and wildlife grazing in the forests above the creek, domesticated and wild animals, as well as residential homes inslde the canyon, the large number of tourists visiting Oak Creek Canyon for recreational purposes, and the different facilities catering to the needs of the tourists. Our analysis of the available data shows some correlation between the numbers of VISitorS and E. coli counts at Slide Rock Park. KEY TERMS; Oak Creek Canyon THE NAruRAL SETTING OF THE STUDY AREA Oak Creek originates about 10 kilometers southwest of Flagstaff, Arizona, near the southern rim ofthe Colorado Plateau and runs through Oak Creek Canyon in a southwestern direction to become a part of the Verde RlVer some 33 km downstream.
