The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Timber Mountain recharge on groundwater flow in the surrounding Pahute Mesa-Oasis Valley groundwater basin using several different methodologies. These methodologies included examining climatic and soil moisture data, estimating groundwater recharge by chloride mass balance, interpreting water chemical and isotopic data, and modeling groundwater flow along faults.
