In the Grand Canyon, a series of springs issuing from the Mississippian Redwall Limestone discharges water derived in part from the Coconino-De Chelly aquifer. Fractures and solution channels in the Redwall Limestone and the rocks separating the Redwall Limestone from the Coconino Sandstone provide conduits for the ground water.
