ESCALANTE WETLANDS HYDROLOGY
Water levels in the study area were monitored at staff
gauges and ground water monitoring wells shown in Figure 9.
These stations were surveyed for elevation by the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation and allowed us to convert water levels into water
elevations for our sample dates. These elevations are not to be
considered true elevations because of the difficulty the
surveyors had carrying a bench mark to the site. However, all
stations are surveyed from the same benchmark and the elevations
presented can at least be considered relative elevation.
