Ground-water hydrology of the central Raton Basin, Colorado and New Mexico
Book
·
OSTI ID:6396603
Hydrologic investigation of the central Raton coal basin indicates that ground water is scarce but sufficient to meet existing demands. Stream alluvium is a productive aquifer, the Cuchara-Poison Canyon and Raton-Vermejo-Trinidad aquifers have smaller yields but greater distribution. Ground water is most abundant on the western side of the area. Although ground water generally is acceptable for human consumption, the quality has deteriorated near coal mines.
