Abstract

North of the Grand Canyon, water from precipitation infiltrates into the permeable Kaibab Formation which outcrops over the Kaibab and Kanab Plateaus. Water moves vertically downward through a karst drainage network in the Kaibab and Toroweap Formations until it reaches semi-permeable clastic sediments.
