The Uinta Basin is the largest west-east depression which flanks the southern side of the Uinta Mountains. Erosion of the Uintas supplied the sediments laid down in the Basin. "The Uinta Basin is a natural depression lying in northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. More than half of the streamflow in the Upper Colorado River Basin originates as groundwater, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey study published today in the journal Water Resources Research. In the Uinta Basin the Mesaverde Group of Late Cretaceous age is gradational with and often intertongues with the underlying Mancos Shale, The Mesaverde Group"" consists of three principal facies based on their environment of deposition. The three facies are: a littoral or nearshore sandstone facies, a lagoonal or coal- bearing facies, and an inland or non-coal bearing facies. The State of Colorado is required to augment the flow of the South Platte River as it enters Nebraska. There are limited sources for this water and the added amount can have effects on water quality, water quantity and aquatic habitat. The purpose of this project is to quantify the water quality and water quantity impacts of a managed groundwater recharge system used to augment flow of water.

Introduction. The Greater Natural Buttes (GNB) is located in the southeastern Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah. Cumulative production of the nonassociated gas of the producing area is MMCF (1) and has been described as a continuous-type (2,3) or basin-centered gas accumulation.
