The aquifer is recharged at higher landsurface altitudes to the west and southwest of the monument. Heiser Spring flows continuously at low rates throughout the year. The spring is developed into concrete spring boxes and was used in the past by Native American people and by wildlife.The primary threats to the water quality of Heiser Spring in Wupatki National Monument are from sheep and cattle that graze in the recharge areas to the west and southwest of the monument.
