Geohydrologic reconnaissance of Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers a practical look at water resources from Hoover Dam to Temple Bar.

This report summarizes field efforts to appraise groundwater, map geology, and identify potential supplies across about 160 square miles. It blends data on wells, springs, water quality, and how geologic units control groundwater movement along the Colorado River corridor.

The study describes the area’s main rock units and how they affect water yields, from fractured granitic and metamorphic rocks to the Muddy Creek Formation and the Chemehuevi Formation. It explains where groundwater is most accessible and where dissolved solids limit drinking-water suitability. The report also notes how lake levels influence water availability and recharge in parts of the Chemehuehi and Colorado River deposits.
