Siting context

Nearest named waterway

≈ 0.2 mi — Colorado River

Nearest high-voltage line

≈ 0.2 mi — 345 kV line

Baseline water stress

Medium - High(20-40%)

Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
