ANALOG - DIGITAL COMPUTER STUDIES, U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY <br /> <br />A. During 1969 the USGS amassed additwnal data on surface and ground water <br /> <br />resources in the Arkansas River Valley in Colorado, and developed Computer <br /> <br />Programs to study: <br /> <br />(1) Benefits derived from conjunctive use of ground and surface water <br /> <br />by comparing two methods of managing water. <br /> <br />(a) Show how water might be delivered to water users according <br /> <br />to priority system, without taking advantage of the ground <br /> <br />water reservoir, to regulate the supply. <br /> <br />(b) Show how use of wells improves water supply by supplementing <br /> <br />surface run-off. <br /> <br />B. It is a known fact that both the USGS and the Colorado Water Conservation <br /> <br />Board have not had sufficient funds to carryon many water supply-management <br /> <br />programs, and it is possible the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy <br /> <br />District could supplement these meager funds, and the following programs' <br /> <br />could be perfected: <br /> <br />(1) Identify specifically where natures aquifers are, and how and when they <br /> <br />could be best recharged through the use of spreading basins. <br /> <br />(2) Show how much additional water can be pumped from these specific <br /> <br />areas before other wells are adversely affected, or "mining" becomes <br />
