This paper is essentially a summary of observations and conclusions of a 3 year hydrologic study (Skinner, 1963) in Prospect Valley, Colorado. A general description of the area is presented, including a brief review of the geology and hydrology with special emphasis on the surface and ground‐water supplies for irrigation. The effects of an artificial ground‐water recharge operation on ground‐water levels and ground‐water quality are discussed. Based on historical water deliveries some water resource management aspects are proposed involving conjunctive use of surface and ground‐water supplies.
