The purpose of the core is to help develop an integrated hydrologic <br />and geologic framework for the Denver Basin aquifers. This will enable State, County, and <br />municipal planners to promote appropriate development of the Basin's water resources. This core- <br />drilling project is part of a three-year National Science Foundation research study that will focus on <br />the evolution of the Denver Basin and its landscapes. Drilling commenced March 1, 1999 by <br />Layne VVestem, Inc. and is scheduled for completion in April. Core analysis will continue for three <br />years. <br />
