<br />
<br />INTRODUCTION
<br />What is the Tainfall of this region? What areas are plOne to periodic flooding?
<br />What is the waler supply? What is the chemical quality of the ground waler and
<br />water in the streams? How deep is the wateT table? Which streams are gaged,
<br />and where? These and similar que~tions are often asked by land owners, resource
<br />and land developers, governmental resource managers, urban planners, and indus.
<br />trial consultants. This map is a first step toward answering lhese questions. It
<br />shows by symbols and color the hydrologic data published as of January 1974
<br />fOT the Colorado Springs-Castle Rock area by the U.S. Environmental Dala Ser-
<br />vice and by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating agencies, and the points
<br />or areas where these data have been collected. All sources of the data are given
<br />in the refeTences and are occasionally referred to in the discussion.
<br />CLIMATOLOGICAL DATAl
<br />Climalological data include recoTds of pTecipitation. temperature, and evapo-
<br />ration. These data have been collected by the National Weather Service (by the
<br />U.S. Weather Bureau prior to 1966) and other interested groups, and have been
<br />compiled and published by the Environmental Data Service in the reports, "Cli-
<br />matological data, Colorado." Of the 44 climatological stations shown on the
<br />map, the longest precipitation record~ are for Fountain, Colo., beginning in 1866.
<br />Colorado Springs' precipitation records begin in 1871. Climatological records can
<br />be obtained from the Colorado State Climatologist, Colorado State University,
<br />Fort Collins, Colo. 80521, or from the National Weather Service Forecast Office,
<br />2520 Galena Street, Aurora, Colo. 80010.
<br />SURFACE.WATER DATA
<br />Surface-waler data include continuous records of stage and dischaTge of
<br />streams. Location of 16 surface-water data sites are shown on the map; included
<br />are 7 continuous-record stream.stage and discharge stalions, and 4 staff-gage
<br />stream discharge sites. Stream now recOlds were collected as early as 1908.
<br />Stage records for irrigation and public-supply reservoirs are maintained by the
<br />operators, owners, and Office of the Colorado Stale EngineeT.
<br />The surface-water data have been col1ected primarily by the U.S. Geological
<br />Survey in cooperation with other Federal, State, and local agencies. Surface-
<br />water data have also been collected by Ihe U.S. Bureau of Reclamation; the
<br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources, Office
<br />of the State Engineer; and other Slate, Federal, and local agencies. Many of
<br />these data have been compiled and published by the U.S. Geological Survey.
<br />U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers, in which the sUTface-wateT records
<br />through 1965 are published, are in most libraries or can be consulted in the U.S.
<br />Geological Survey libraries (or in Survey offices) in Colorado. Records for 1966
<br />to the pNsent are published in Water ResouTces Data fOT Colorado, Part I, Sur-
<br />face Water Records (1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972), and also can
<br />be consulted at Survey offices and libraries. Unpublished sUTface.water data
<br />collected on many streams in the Pikes Peak vicinity by the city of Colorado
<br />Springs are available through the Department of Utilities, city of Colorado Springs.
<br />GROUND-WATER DATA
<br />GTound-water data sites plotted on the map represent 40 wells where water
<br />levels have been measured periodically for 4 or more years or monthly for at
<br />least I year, and 49 wells from which water samples have been analyled for dis-
<br />solved-chemical constituents. Data Tegarding water levels and chemical quality
<br />of ground water have been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in coopera-
<br />tion with other Federal, State, and local agencies. Considerable water-lt"vel data
<br />have also been collected by Colorado State Univel5ity. The water-level and chem-
<br />ical-quality data are published in one of the Teleases listed in the references, or
<br />are in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey. Water Resources Division, Colorado
<br />District, Building 53, Denver Fedenl CenteT. l.akewood. Colorado 80225.
<br />Other kinds of ground-water data, sUl:h as records of wells, drillers' logs of
<br />wells, geophysical logs of wel1s, aquifer (pumping) tests, and laboflltoTY analysis
<br />of aquifer materials for porosity, permeability, size, and sorting, are also avail.
<br />able for a few wells in the area. These data aTe also published in the releases
<br />listed in the Teferences or are in the files of tile U.S. Geological Survey.

<br />GROUND.W A TER STUDIES
<br />Ground-water studies range in Sl;ope from reconnaissance and single-purpose
<br />studies to detailed quantitative studies of designated areas, such as those O:Jt-
<br />lined and identified by number on the map, keyed to the references. Reports
<br />of reconnaissance studies contain general information on the occurrence and
<br />availability of ground water. Reports of detailed quantitative studies (Jenkins,
<br />1964) contain values of aquifeT characteristics, estimates of quantities of water
<br />in storage, and data on the chemical quality of the water within the aquifer sys-
<br />tem studied in area 3-enough of the necessary data to permit construction of a
<br />model of the aquifer system. The single.purpose study by Romero and Uamp-
<br />ton (1972) yielded a map report that shows the depth to top of an important
<br />sandstone aquifer beneath area I on the map (approximately one-half of the
<br />map areal.
