WATER LEVELS IN THE ALLUVIAL AQUIFERS �F THE <br />LOWER SDUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN, CUL�RAD� <br />Zoo2 <br />The purpose of this report is to pro�ide water level data �or the network of monitoring wells within <br />the Lower South Platte Allu�ium for the period of Spring of 1988 through the 5pring of 2�02. <br />Currently, the network consists of 79 wells. The data presented in this report is a result of <br />coopera#Fan between wel� owners, the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, and the <br />Colorad� Division of Water Resources. Funding for this project is supplied in part from well permit <br />fees colfected and managed by the Colorado Division of Water Resources as a resuft of the <br />passage of 5enate Bi11240 during the 1987 legisfative session. <br />The following body of this report includes up to 28 water level measurements for each well for the <br />indicated period in addition to a water le�e! measurement taken at the time of construction of the <br />well, if a�ailable. Measurements are usually taken fin►ice yearly, typically in the spring before <br />irrigation pumping commences and in the fall after irrigation pumping has ceased. The <br />measurement �alues in this report are expressed in feet below ground surFace to water surFace <br />and were obtained utilizing an electric sounder device or steel tape. All measurements were done <br />by Di�ision 1 Water Commissioners (DWR} or the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District <br />�CCWC} as indicated for each well. All of the wells are completed in unconsolidated gra�el, sand, <br />silt and clay deposits predominantly of allu�ial origin. The line in the main body of this report <br />entitled AQUIFER delineates both the geoiogic unit and stream reach for each well as explained <br />on page 4. Figure 1 is a GiS generated map showing the recorded Iocation of the wells measured <br />for this report. The South Platte River system is delineated. The recorded outline of the South <br />Platte River allu�ial aquifers is depicted in gold. <br />-1- <br />
