Estimated crop irrigation water use withdrawals in Hualapai Valley Groundwater Basin, Arizona for 2021

August 17, 2022

Observations of irrigated agricultural land within the Hualapai Valley Groundwater Basin in Arizona. Crops were verified in situ once in 2021 on May 20th; based on digitized field boundaries.
