The Ground-Water Flow System in Indian Wells Valley, Kern, Inyo, and San Bernardino Counties, California

Ground water is virtually the sole source of water supplies in Indian Wells Valley. Demand for ground water has increased significantly for municipal and military uses since 1945 and for agricultural uses since 1979. The study described in this report involved updating and evaluating the hydrologic data base compiled for the two-dimensional ground-water flow model previously developed for Indian Wells Valley and analyzing the three-dimensional aspects of the ground-water flow system.
