INTRODUCTION

This report contains the results of water level measurements
of wells in the Northern High Plains Designated Basin made during
the winter of 1990. Date were collected in cooperation with the
W -Y, Frenchman, Central Yuma, Sand Hills, Marks Butte, Arikaree and
Plains Ground Water Management Districts 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 1.987, remarks and the change
in water level between the 1989 and 1990 measurements. Also
included are representative hydrographs for approximately five
percent (5%) of the measured wells along with a location map.
Additional maps showing areas where water levels declined during
the last year, and showing overall decline for the period of pre -
development (approximately 1965) to 1989 are included in the
appendices.
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 818,
Denver, Colorado 80203 for a fee of $ 5.00 to cover the cost of
printing and handling. Summary reports will be made available at
no cost to each well owner whose well was measured. These summary
reports are available from the local districts or from the Office
of the State Engineer.
