This agree- <br />ment worked out quite well. as the defendant was able to pump his usual sup- <br />ply for the irrigation season, <br />Table 1 shows the annual pumpage fOr the period from 1953 to 1956 by use. <br />Except for a small volume for domestic use, all the water pumped during 1953 <br />was used for irrigation. Other uses, especially municipal use, gained signifi- <br />cant proportions during the period from 1954 to 1956 and irrigation use be- <br />gan to decline in 1955. <br />Special computations were made as a part of this study to determine the <br />cause of the lowering of the water level in the vicinity of the plaintiff's well, <br />Pumping of all wells in the area was considered to be contributing to the low~ <br />ering of the water level; however, a number of wells were found to have no <br />appreciable effect and were not used in the final computations because: (1) <br />The volume of water pumped was small, (2) the volume pumped in previous <br />years had no adverse effects on the plaintiff's well, or (3) the distance from <br />the plaintiff's well was great. The wells that contributed significantly to the <br />lowering of the plaintiff's well were: (1) His own well: (2) the wells of the city <br />of Colorado Springs; and (3) one new irrigation well that began discharging <br />water in 1954. Computations based on the Theis formula,9 were made to esti- <br />mate the effects that the pumping of the principal wells had on the lowering of <br />the water table at the plaintiff's well during a 15-month period in 1954 and <br />1955. The results compared closely with the measured water levels in the <br />plaintiff's well. as shown in Fig. 5. The analysis was based on the following <br />assumptions. idealizations. and procedures: <br />- - <br />9 "The Relation BC'tween the Lowering or thl' Piezomctl"ic Surface and the> Rate and <br />DUI'alion of Dischaq!;e of a Wdl Using Ground-W;ltcl' .:;tOI'a~c," by C.
