MLRA 35 - Colorado and Green River Plateaus Arizona, Colorado, and Utah 123,350 km2 (47,630 mi2)

Water:
Water is scarce throughout the area. The Little Colorado River drains the largest segment of the area, but its flow is intermittent. Water is stored in small reservoirs for irrigation purposes, but supplies are often inadequate. Some irrigation water is obtained from erratic streamflow and in some localities from deep wells. Water from shallow wells is mostly highly mineralized and inadequate in quantity.
