This report represents water levei measurement data for the Nvrth Kiowa-Bijou Ground <br />Water Management District for the 1999 season. This project was done in cooperation with <br />the Management District and with local well owners. Funding for the project is supplied in part <br />from well permit #ees collected and managed by #he �ffice of the 5tate Engineer as a cash <br />fund designated for use in obtaining ground water informa#ion throughout the s#ate. <br />A total of 32 wells were measured during the month of April 1998 with 35 well sites <br />�isited. These weNs are all part of the observation well nefinrork that has been measured for <br />many years. Records on at least one weli date back to '! 93fi. However, most of the weils date <br />from the 1950's and 19fi0's. Water le�el changes between 1998 and 1999 range from a <br />decline of 4.37 feet in T3S, R63W, Sec 13, to a rise of �,44 feet in T1 S, R60W, Sec 'f 7. The <br />ten year period from 1990 to 1999 shows a range from a decline of 16.82 feet in T1 S, Rfi2W, <br />Sec. 2, to a rise of 5.10 feet in T1 N, R61 W, Sec 5. The a�erage change for the '! 998 #0 1999 <br />period is a deciine of 0.92 feet compared to a decline of �.31 feet be�tween 1997 and 1998. <br />For the 1990 to 1999 period, the average change has been a decline of 4.47 feet or <br />approximately �.45 feet per year. Generally water levels in the southem half of the basin show <br />either a steady or siightly rising trend. The northerr� half of the basin exhibits deciining water <br />le�els with the greatest declines being in the most northerly portion of the basin. <br />Information conceming bedrock wells for the Denver Basin Aquifers will be available in <br />June of this year and can be obtained from the Qffice of #he State Engineer. <br />Included in this report are water level data from 1988 to 1999 for all the wells in the <br />monitoring network. Also included are hydrographs of mos# of the wells that contain #he entire <br />well record. <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 <br />�ffice of the State Engineer. � <br />
