Groundwater Withdrawals in the Death Valley Regional Flow System • Groundwater used for irrigation, mining and domestic purposes • Values presented are cumulative estimates over 12 years (1987 to 1998) • To convert 12-yr cumulative withdrawals to average annual withdrawal in m3/yr multiply by 100 • NOTE - Subbasin boundary is different from regional flow system boundary 00414PR_SZ_NRC_<strong>Andrews</strong>.ppt 15
