<br />Water-level measurements made prior to the 1977 irrigation season in
<br />mare than 465 wells in the lower Arkansas River valley of Colorado are
<br />published in a new report released by the U.S. Geological Survey. \\'here
<br />available, measurements made during the preceding 4 years are included
<br />to indicate rising or declining water levels.
<br />
<br />Water levels are directly related to the amount of ground water in
<br />storage. This report provides a basis for estimating changes in the
<br />quantity of stored ground water. The report will help managers, well
<br />o~~erSt and others in water-use planning.
<br />
<br />The U. S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-560, "\~ater-Level Records
<br />for the Lower Arkansas River Valley of Colorado, 1973-77," by Robert D.
<br />Penley, is the latest in a series reporting hydrologic data collected by
<br />the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation ,dth the Colorado Departm<:nt
<br />of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources, Office of the $tate
<br />Engineer; and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District.
<br />
