<br />U J S(~SIMULATED EFFECTS OF TIlE PROPOSED NARRO\,S RESERVOIR ON <br />WATER-TABLE AQUIFER, MORGAN COUNTY, COLORADO <br /> <br />TIlE <br /> <br />By Alan W. Burns and John B. Weeks <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />.. <br />A computer model was used to estimate the effects of the proposed <br /> <br />Narrows Reservoir on the alluvial aquifer adjacent to the South Platte <br /> <br />River near Fort Morgan, Colo. Changes in' ground-water discharge to the <br /> <br />river caused by the proposed reservoir ~ere estimated assuming steady- <br /> <br />state conditions. For the conditions simulated, the principal effects <br /> <br />of the proposed reservoir on the ground-water system will be an increase <br /> <br />in water-table altitude in the aquifer and a redistribution of ground- <br /> <br />water discharge to the South Platte River. No significant change in <br /> <br />the hydrologic system will occur downstream from Fort Morgan. <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />7 <br />
