Abstract
The entire water supply for the U. S. Naval Air Missile Test Center at Point Mugu, Calif., is pumped from wells located .within 2 miles of the Pacific Ocean. A large irrigation development inland from the Test Center has created a landward hydraulic gradient beneath the Test Center, causing sea-water encroachment into the water-yielding deposits. The encroaching sea water has not yet reached the Test Center well field; however, the encroachment poses a serious threat to the Test Center supply. To evaluate the adequacy of the water supply for the Naval Air Missile Test Center under these conditions and to suggest additional sources for future development, the U. S. Geological Survey has canvassed all wells and collected all available hydrologic dataat the Test Center and in the immediate vicinity. The data tabulated in this report include measurements of water levels in wells, well logs, and chemical analyses for all wells south of Hueneme Road collected through February 1959.
This study was made by the Geological Survey, U. S. Department of the Interior, under the general supervision of H. L. Wilson, Jr., district engineer for California, and under the immediate supervision of Fred Kunkel, geologist in charge of the Long Beach subdistrict office.
