WATER LEVELS IN THE ALLUVIAL AQUIFERS <br />OF THE LOWER SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN <br />2006 <br />This report contains basic data concerning the depth to ground water and elevation <br />of the occurrence of ground water in the alluvial aquifers of the Lower South Platte <br />River Basin during the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006. Water levels were not <br />measured for many wells in the fall of 2004 and the spring of 2005. This report was <br />not published in 2005 for lack of data. <br />The monitoring network consists of approximately 78 wells. Data was obtained for <br />a total of 47 wells in 2006. The report contains data from these wells as well as <br />other wells which are part of this monitoring effort, but for which data were not <br />obtained in 2006. Historic data for all wells which are part of this monitoring effort <br />are included in the report. Thirty-two monitoring wells used by the South Platte <br />Decision Support System are added this year. <br />Water level measurements in this year's report were obtained by Colorado Division <br />of Water Resources Water Commissioners, Michael Schaubs, and Elizabeth <br />Pottorff. Measurements are usually taken twice a year, typically in the spring before <br />irrigation pumping commences and again in the fall after irrigation pumping has <br />ceased. Locations of the observation wells are shown on Figure 1. <br />Water level changes were not analyzed <br />Copies of this report are made available to well owners and participating entities <br />free of charge. Additional copies may be obtained from the Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources, Public Records Section.
