Figure 13 is a second water elevation profile that extends <br />from the wetland ponds to the Green River. It indicates somewhat <br />siunilar water level patterns as Figure 12, except that station 5 <br />is at the water table low point the entire time. <br />We hypothesize that the Green River is losing water to the <br />alluvium that underlies the western portion of the wetland. <br />Thus, water flows under the dike. This hypothesis is suggested <br />by the water levels for stations 11 and 6 in relation to the <br />Green River, and also by water conductivity which is nearly <br />identical in these stations to the River. In addition, we feel <br />that the water table high under the wetlands is losing water to <br />the west, particularly late in summer. This water flows into the <br />ground water low, or trough, that appears to run in a band north <br />to south through stations 10 and 5. Most likely this water flows <br />south and rejoins the Green River somewhere downstream. <br />4834 <br />4833 <br />4832 <br />4831 <br />._. <br />Z 4830 <br />0 <br />~ 4829+ <br />w <br />J <br />``' 4828 <br />4827! <br />4826 <br />4825 <br />GROUNDWATER ELEVATION PROFILES Green <br />River <br />ESCALANTE WETLANDS DURING 19 9 3 <br />6 <br />1 <br />4 June <br />S <br />July <br />2 4 Augus <br />EAST 8 September WEST <br />0 <br />200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 <br />HORIZONTAL DISTANCE (ft} <br />Figure 13.
