Drilling has shown that there are 2 aquifers, both semi-confined with probable hydraulic connection. The main area of recharge appears to be 3 ephemeral swamps south of the town. 13 wells were drilled with salinity of 800 - 2500 mg/L but near swamps 100 - 300 mg/L. Nitrates also decrease near the swamps. Long term well yields range from 1.28 - 3.3 L/sec up to 18 hours per day. Groundwater pollution potential exists for land surface liquid waste disposal.
