Description The West Crane aquifer is contained in a buried valley incised into the Fort Union bedrock. This publication describes the location, extent, groundwater flow, recharge, discharge, hydraulic properties, and water quality of the West Crane aquifer. Demand for developing this aquifer for irrigation is growing and a groundwater model is being developed to evaluate aquifer sustainability.
