INTRODUCTION
This report contains the results of water level measurements
of wells in the Northern High Plains Designated Basin made during
the winter of 1991-1992. Date were collected in cooperation with
the W -Y. Frenchman, Central Yuma, Sand Hills, Marks Butte, Arikaree
and Plains Ground Water Management Districts, the U.S. Geological
Survey and local well owners and users. Funding for this project
was supplied in part from well permit fees collected and managed by
the Office of the State Engineer as a result of the passage of
Senate Bill 200 during the 1987 legislative session. This bill
authorized the Office of the State Engineer to establish and
maintain a water level monitoring network throughout the state to
obtain information on ground water conditions, to establish ground
water trends and to manage the ground water resources of the state.
•
The data are tabulated by location within each ground water
management district or within counties where no management district
exists. The appendices contain information concerning well
identification, location, owner's name, land surface elevation,
permit number, water level data since 1987, remarks and the change
in water level between -the 1991 and 1992 measurements as well as a
four year change between measurements made in 1.98E and the present
measurements. Also included are representative hydrographs for
s
approximately five percent (5%) of the measured wells along with a
location map. Four hydrographs are also included in Appendix L for
wells monitored by the USGS which have continuous recorders
installed. in addition a map showing areas where water levels
declined during the last year is included in Appendix M along with
a copy of the comparable map from past two years.
Copies of this report are available for inspection in the
offices of the local ground water management districts as well as
the Office of the State Engineer. Copies can be purchased from the
Office of the State Engineer, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821,
