Water supply at Los Alamos during 1978. Progress report
The municipal and industrial water supply for Los Alamos for 1978 consisted of 1436 x 10/sup 6/ gal from wells in three fields and 45 x 10/sup 6/ gal from the gallery in Water Canyon. An additional 1.1 x 10/sup 6/ gal of water were pumped to waste during testing of well LA-6. About 3.3 x 10/sup 6/ gal of water in the Guaje Reservoir were used for irrigation, thus the total use was about 1485 x 10/sup 6/ gal. Water level trends in the wells were as anticipated under current production practices. Projected water level declines or recoveries were made to 1983. Suggestions are presented to reduce the rate of decline in the lower part of the Los Alamos field. Quality of water from wells, gallery, five stations on the distribution system, and Guaje Reservoir is presented. Quality of water is good and meets standards for municipal supply. Well and distribution system rehabilitation and replacement should be continued to ensure an adequate and reliable water supply from the wells and systems.
