<br /> <br />Selected Results and computations: <br /> <br />Table 1 shows the groundwater storage by county and aquifero The <br />values in Table 1 were computed by using equation (1) as shown <br />below for Shawnee County: <br /> <br />Groundwater Storage = a x b x c, where <br /> <br />a = volume of deposits saturated by freshwater (acre-feet), <br />b = specific yield and <br /> <br />c = economic availabilityo <br /> <br />(1) <br /> <br />Alluvial (Kansas River) groundwater storage = (1,165,910) x <br />(015) x (0667) = 116,649 <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />Alluvial (Kansas River Tribo) groundwater storage = <br />(310,490) x (010) x (0667) = 20,710 <br /> <br />(3) Total alluvial groundwater storage = 116,649 + 20,710 = <br />137,359 ~ 137,000 <br /> <br />(4) Glacial groundwater storage = (504,870) x (015) x (.667) = <br />50,512 ,:, 51,000 <br /> <br />(5) Total Shawnee County groundwater storage = 137,000 + 51,000 <br />= 188,000 acre-feet <br /> <br />The High Plains, Great Plains and Ozark Plateau aquifers are not <br />present in Shawnee County, hence their values are zero in <br />Table 10 <br /> <br />During the preparation of Table 1, separate estimates were made <br />for the portion of each county that lies within more than one <br />river basino Hence, in these cases, county totals were found by <br />adding the individual estimates for each county-river basin area <br />that were wi thin the specific county of interest. Likewise, <br />river basin totals were found by adding the estimates for each <br />county that lies entirely within the river basin to the estimates <br />for each county-river basin area that lies wi thin the specific <br />river basin of interesto Table 2 shows groundwater storage by <br />river basin and aquifero <br /> <br />12 <br />
