<br />WATER LEVELS IN THE ALLUVIAL AQUIFERS <br />OF THE LOWER SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN <br /> <br />2006 <br /> <br />This report contains basic data concerning the depth to ground water and elevation <br />of the occurrence of ground water in the alluvial aquifers of the Lower South Platte <br />River Basin during the fall of 2006 and spring of 2007. <br /> <br />The monitoring network consists of approximately 105 wells. Data was obtained for <br />a total of 54 wells in 2007. Thirty-six monitoring wells used by the South Platte <br />Decision Support System are included this year. The report contains data from <br />these wells as well as other wells which are part of this monitoring effort, but for <br />which data were not obtained in 2007. Historic data for all wells which are part of <br />this monitoring effort are included in the report. Wells that have not been measured <br />in ten years have been dropped from the publication. <br /> <br />Water level measurements in this year's report were obtained by Colorado Division <br />of Water Resources Water Commissioners and Elizabeth Pottorff. Measurements <br />are usually taken twice a year, typically in the spring before irrigation pumping <br />commences and again in the fall after irrigation pumping has ceased. Locations of <br />the observation wells are shown on Figure 1. <br /> <br />Water level changes were not analyzed <br /> <br />Copies of this report are made available to well owners and participating entities <br />free of charge.
