A subsequent in-depth study in 2016 looked into Coconino County and Yavapai County in the north-central part of the state. The area is underlain by the C aquifer and Redwall-Muav aquifer. The C aquifer is a water-table aquifer, with a depth of up to 1500 feet to the water table and is dry in the west, except for perched water-bearing zones.
The Ogallala Aquifer (oh-gə-LAH-lə) is a shallow water table aquifer surrounded by sand, silt, clay, and gravel located beneath the Great Plains in the United States. As one of the world's largest aquifers, it underlies an area of approximately 174,000 sq mi (450,000 km 2) in portions of eight states (South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas).

A plot of sugarcane yield versus depth of water table in Australia. The critical depth is 0.6 m. [4] [5] Most crops need a water table at a minimum depth. [6] For some important food and fiber crops a classification was made [7] because at shallower depths the crop suffers a yield decline. [8]
Arizona is also one of the Four Corners states and is diagonally adjacent to Colorado. Arizona has a total area of 113,998 square miles (295,253 km 2), making it the sixth largest U.S. state. [1] Of this area, just 0.3% consists of water, which makes Arizona the state with the second lowest percentage of water area (New Mexico is the lowest at ...

During dry seasons, however, the lake has a tendency to dry up completely. The lake is named after Mary Riordan, a daughter of the wealthy lumber barons who built the dam in 1904 for a water supply for Flagstaff. [4] Due to its tendency to dry up, the Lower Lake Mary does not have the water sports appeal of its upstream sibling.
Sahuarita Lake is an artificial lake located in Sahuarita, Arizona. The lake was created in 2000 and opened for public use in 2001. [ 2 ] The surface area of the lake is approximately 10 acres with a maximum depth of 12 feet (3.66 meters).
Water levels fluctuate, but when full, the average depth is 22 feet (6.7 m), with a maximum depth of 57 feet (17 m). Lyman Reservoir is a warm water reservoir containing largemouth bass , channel catfish , crappie, carp and a few walleye.
