Groundwater pumping will continue to affect the flow rate in the Verde River over the next century if nothing is done according to a study released last week by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Verde River Basin Partnership.
The results were announced before a packed house Thursday, April 11, at the Camp Verde Unified School District Multi-Use Complex.
The study relied, in part, on data from an April 2011 groundwater flow model that looked at water not just in the Verde Valley but throughout the region, including the watersheds of the Verde, Salt, Little Colorado and Colorado rivers and its role in Apache, Coconino, Gila, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai counties.
