Title: Ground-water levels beneath eastern Pahute Mesa and vicinity, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada

Abstract

This report presents water-level and basic construction data for drill holes in and around the primary are of underground testing on eastern Pahute Mesa, and water-level contours based on the most recent water-level measurement made in each drill hole. Measurements are presented for 72 wells and span about 30 years. The map complements and earlier publication. Information is intended to benefit those involved in: the siting, drilling, and design of drill holes to house nuclear devices, the study of ground water hydrology and radionuclide transport beneath the Pahute Mesa, and investigations of regional ground water flow at and near the NTS.
