Mr. Shroad said that the concept of M-RH/EI came to fruition a couple of years ago. They had been working on this for a few years to figure out the ups/downs, and goods and bads of it. They have presented it to a number of entities such as the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), Salt River Project (SRP), environmental, political and service groups. They are going to have a two phase presentation – (1) background and (2) what they are doing with the background information. Mr. McMillan noted that there were real problems with the ground water.

    Characterization and Ground-Water Flow Modeling of the Mint

    CHARACTERIZATION AND GROUND-WATER FLOW MODELING OF THE MINT WASH / WILLIAMSON VALLEY AREA, YAVAPAI COUNTY By Luis Fernando Navarro A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geology Northern Arizona University May 2002 Approved: Abraham E. Springer, Ph.D., Chair Paul J. Umhoefer, Ph.D. Charles M. Schlinger, Ph.D. ABSTRACT CHARACTERIZATION AND GROUND-WATER FLOW MODELING OF THE MINT WASH / WILLIAMSON VALLEY AREA, YAVAPAI COUNTY LUIS FERNANDO NAVARRO The characterization of the Mint Wash / Williamson Valley System (MWWVS) is a combination of geological and hydrogeological characterization of the Mint Wash / Williamson Valley area. The characterization was used to construct a ground-water flow model, used to research the water supply of the area. The geological characterization included data from previous investigations as well as data gathered through this study. The results include a geologic map, cross sections throughout the site, a synopsis of the known geological history of the area, including the identification of lithologies, and a description of the tectonic history of the area. The hydrogeological characterization included analyses of existing data, and collection and analyses of new data. A conceptual model was developed from preliminary analyses of data, then modified as more data was gathered. The characterization was used in the development of a three-dimensional finite- difference ground-water flow model. The model was calibrated to both the steady-state and transient conditions. The calibrated model was used to simulate MWWVS using several different water use scenarios and to compare these scenarios to the concept of sustainable ii yield.

  • Mingus Mountain Scenic Road

    Mingus Mountain Scenic Road

    i ii iii INTRODUCTION SR 89A in the Verde Valley of central Arizona can be called a main route to one fascinating encounter after another. Three segments of this roadway – Mingus Mountain Scenic Road; Jerome, Clarkdale, Cottonwood Historic Road; and Dry Creek Scenic Road – combine to offer travelers a magical mix of history and culture, as well as recreational and scenic experiences. Splendorous vistas of remarkable Red Rock Country landforms can be enjoyed from the cushioned ease of an air- conditioned tour bus or personal car. The same can be said for the perched haunts of Cleopatra Hill and for the glistening energies of Deception Canyon. However, the real power of this region is best experienced on foot. Whether it is along the trails that crisscross though jagged cliffs and colorful canyons, beside winding arroyos and creeks, or on the well-worn sidewalks and back streets of Jerome, Clarkdale, Cottonwood or Sedona – this area is best enjoyed up close and personal. The area is easily accessible off of Interstate 17 and is approximately 90 miles north of Phoenix and 50 miles south of Flagstaff. THE BYWAY STORY The Mingus Mountain Scenic Corridor begins at milepost (MP) 332, on the Prescott Valley side of SR 89A in Yaeger Canyon at the base of the Black Hills. As the roadway begins its climb up Mingus, Ponderosa Pine hug the roadway and can be seen dotting the sides of the mountain among pockets of basalt. Mingus Mountain is the most significant VIEW OF MINGUS MOUNTAIN - PHOTO BY JUDY MILLER outcropping in the Black Hills range and is the dominant background view as the highway meanders through the canyon formed by the Hickey, Woodchute and Mingus Mountains.
