the state permit number or water court case number, th~
yield, the d~pth, and the irrigated acres, if known, for
each well.
11. . There are several reco~endations for future study which can
be made based! upon this study and some of the conclusions reached:
. (a) A more detailed and complete water balance needs to be
made us.ing more accurate basic data, particularly on the river diversions,
the present uogaged surface flows entering the river, within the study
reach, the gr~und water underflows into the study area, and volume of water

. ,
pumped from the ground water aquifer.
; (b) A more extensive analysis of data is required, particularli
water level da~ain wells and more thorough modelling techniques to evaluate
the possibl il i~y as hypothesized in this study that the safe perennial yield
in certain arells has not been reached.
!(c) A computer model study.which includes all of the variables,'
for the study .rea needs to be developed, fully documented, and utilized for.
evaluating spe~ific alternative methods for conserving or improving beneficia"
use of the South Platte Basin water.
