INTRODUCTION <br />This report contains the results of water level measurements of wells in the Northern High Plains <br />Designated Basin made during the winter of 1999-2000. Data were collected in cooperation with the W -Y, <br />Frenchman, Central Yuma, Sand Hills, Marks Butte, Arikaree and Plains Ground Water Management <br />Districts, the U.S. Geological Survey and local well owners and users. Funding for this project was <br />supplied in part from well permit fees collected and managed by the Office of the State Engineer as a result <br />of the passage of Senate Bill 200 during the 1987 legislative session. This bill authorized the Office of the <br />State Engineer to establish and maintain a water level monitoring network throughout the state to obtain <br />information on ground water conditions, to establish ground water trends and to manage the ground water <br />resources of the state. <br />The data are tabulated by location within each ground water management district or within counties <br />where no management district exists. The appendices contain information concerning well identification, <br />location, owner's name, land surface elevation, permit number, water level data since 1987, remarks and the <br />change in water level between the 1999 and 2000 measurements as well as a five year change between <br />measurements made in 1996 and the present measurements and a ten year change between 1991 and the <br />present. Also included are representative hydrographs for approximately five percent (5%) of the measured <br />wells along with a location map. Three hydrographs are also included in Appendix L for wells monitored <br />by the USGS which have continuous recorders installed. <br />Copies of this report are available for inspection in the offices of the local ground water <br />management districts as well as the Office of the State Engineer. Copies can be purchased from the Office <br />of the State Engineer, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, Colorado 80203 for a fee of $ 5.00 to cover <br />the cost of printing and handling. Summary reports will be made available at no cost to each well owner <br />whose well was measured. These summary reports are available from the local districts or from the Office <br />of the State Engineer. <br />
