GOALS/PRODUCTS OF STUDY: IDENTIFICATION OF DATA NEEDS MAPS OF GROUNDWATER FLOW BOUNDARIES

1. PROPOSED EASTERN BASIN GROUNDWATER STUDY PLAN • GOALS/PRODUCTS OF STUDY: • IDENTIFICATION OF DATA NEEDS • MAPS OF GROUNDWATER FLOW BOUNDARIES • MAPS OF GROUNDWATER LEVELS • MAPS OF GROUNDWATER SALINITY • MORE DETAILED 3D MAPS OF GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE • IDENTIFICATION OF OPTIMAL LOCATIONS FOR NEW SUPPLY WELLS • IDENTIFICATION OF OPTIMAL LOCATIONS FOR MONITORING WELLS • ESTIMATION OF SUSTAINABLE YIELD/POTENTIAL SUPPLY • CONSTRUCTION OF CONCEPTUAL MODEL • MAP OF RECHARGE • QUANTIFICATION OF UNCERTAINTIES • PUBLICATION OF DATA AND FINDINGS

2. DATA TO COMPILE AND COLLECT : • GROUNDWATER LEVELS • SPRING DISCHARGES • WELL LOCATIONS / CONSTRUCTION / PUMP SETTINGS • WASTEWATER DISCHARGES • BOREHOLE LOGS • ABSTRACTION/PUMPING RATES OVER TIME • WATER QUALITY • SEISMIC/GEOPHYSICAL • METEOROLOGICAL • RECHARGE

3. STUDY AREA: MOUNTAIN AQUIFER OF EASTERN BASIN GROUNDWATER HYDROLOGIC BOUNDARIES DETERMINE AREA (SEE DRAWING) INCLUDING WHERE MTN AQUIFER LAYERS ARE UNDER JORDAN VALLEY TIME FRAME FOR TIME-SERIES DATA: 1993 ONWARD PARTICIPANTS: USGS PWA IWA, MEKOROT ENROLL MULTIPLE GRADUATE STUDENTS??? STEERING COMMITTEE: ROLE – PLAN, COORDINATE, AND REVIEW THE STUDY MEMBERSHIP – 3 PEOPLE FROM EACH PARTY LEADERSHIP – CO-CHAIRS -- -- USGS CONVENOR--

4. SEQUENCE OF DATA ACTIVITIES : PRIORITIZE WORK TO ANSWER URGENT QUESTIONS 4 WELLS?? • DATA GATHERING • DATA EXCHANGE • COMPILE EXISTING DATA • INITIAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS • COLLECT AND ANALYZE ADDITIONAL DATA AS NEEDED • PUBLISH REPORT AND DATABASE • DATA TO EXPLAIN PROBLEMS AT 4 NEW WELLS IN SOUTHERN PORTION OF BASIN: • WATER LEVEL DATA FOR ALL EXISTING WELLS • MEASURE CURRENT GWLEVELS • WELL CONSTRUCTION REPORTS • ABSTRACTION DATA • DEVELOP UPDATED WATER LEVEL MAP • MUTUAL ABSTRACTION ARRANGEMENT

5. POSSIBLE JUNE/SUMMER MEETINGS: • MOUNTAIN AQUIFER AND SUB-BASINS JOINT WORKSHOP • STEERING COMMITTEE of EASTERN BASIN GROUNDWATER STUDY
