Vaught <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />Water-level measurements were made in more than 600 wells in <br /> <br />January 1976. Changes in water levels from January 1975 to January 1976 <br /> <br />ranged from a rise of about 5 feet (1.5 metres) in Washington County to <br /> <br />a decline of about 20 feet (6.1 metres) near th" Kiow'l-Prowers County <br /> <br />line. Measuretuents for the four preceding winters are also included to <br /> <br />serve as references illustrating declining or rising water levels. <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />This report provides well owners and water managers with water- <br /> <br />level measurements made during the winter prior to the 1976 irrigation <br /> <br />season (table 1 at back of report). These data can be used by well <br /> <br />owners for planning their irrigation schedules for the next irrigation <br /> <br />season and can be used by water managers for developing plans to manage <br /> <br />the ground-water resources. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />;) <br /> <br /> <br />.i'- <br />
