T'his report represents water level measurement data for the North Kiowa-Bij ou Ground <br />Water Management District for the 1994 season. This project was done in cooperarion with the <br />Management District and with local well owners. Funding for the project is supplied in part from <br />well permit fees collected and managed by the �ffice of the State Engineer as a cash fund <br />designated fvr use in obtaining ground water information throughour the state. <br />A total of 38 wells were measured During the month of March, 1994. These wells are all <br />part of the observation well network which has been measured for many years. Records on at least <br />one well date back to 1936. However, most of the wells date from the 1950's and 1960's. �IVater <br />level changes between 1993 and 1994 range from a decline of 4.56 feet in T3S, R61 W, 5ec 22, to <br />a rise of 1.75 feet in T2N, R59W, Sec 20 The ten year period from 1984 to 1994 shows a range <br />from a decline of 15.35 feet in T3N, R59VIT, Sec 19, to a rise of 11.27 feet in T1S, R62W, Sec 2. <br />The average change for the 1993 to 1994 period is a decline of 0.57 feet compared to a decline of <br />0.32 feet between 1992 and 1993. The average for 1992 was a decline of 0.54 feet. For the 1984 <br />to 1994 period, the average change has been a decline of 3.12 feet or approximately 0.3 feet per <br />year. Generally water levels in the southern half of the basin show either a steady or slightly rising <br />trend. The northern half of the basin exhibits decluung water levels with the greatest declines <br />being in the most northerly portion of the basin. <br />ane Axapahoe Aquife�r well is measured in T3S, Rb3W, Sec �3. The water level in this well <br />has declined 2.2 feet during the last year. Further information concerning water ievels in bedrock <br />aquifers in the Den�er Basin can be obtained from the �ffi�e of the State Engineer. <br />Included in this report are water Ie�el data from 1980 to 1994 for all the wells in the <br />monitoring network. Also included are hydrographs of most of the wells. <br />Copies of this report are being made available to all well owners whose wells were <br />measured as part of this project. Additional copies of the report can be purchased from the �ffice <br />of the State Engineer. . <br />
