The drainage basin for the Fremont River valley
includes about 700 square acres. The source of
most of the ground water is precipitation on
the Fish Lake, Awapa, and Aquarius plateaus,
where annual precipitation is between 20-40
inches. A large but undetermined quantity of
water is stored under both artesian and water
table conditions in volcanic rocks bordering
and underlying the valley. More than one
million acre feet is stored in the unconsolidated
valley fill. The principle phreatophytes in
this area are meadow grass, rabbitbrush, and
greasewood which grows in fringe areas. Ground
water is used primarily in agriculture and to
supply Fremont, Loa, Lyman, and Bicknell, also
for domestic use, stock use, and fish culture.
Water has a low sodium content,-some have high
salinity, none of the maximum concentrations of
dissolved constituents recommended for drinking
water were exceeded in samples collected. -The
temperature of ground water ranged from 47° to
63° F.
