The reader will note that where water level is zero with no additional data entry, that no water level <br />measurement was taken during those measurement periods. <br />The average decline of water level within the network was -3.17 feet for 2002 as compared to -2.50 <br />feet in 2001 and -1.12 feet decline in 2000. The average rise in water level was 1.83 feet for 2002 as <br />compared to 3.06 feet in 2001 and 10.76 in 2000. <br />A map depicting the location of monitoring wells, as well as individual well data and selected well <br />hydrographs, has been modified by GPS information and replacement well information and follows <br />this text. <br />Ogallala Aqu*fer <br />A total of twenty wells are completed wholly or in part within the Ogallala aquifer within the monitoring <br />network. Seven wells recorded declines of - 0.20 to -15.70 feet. Eleven wells this year experienced <br />rises in water levels. The average rise was +1.08 feet as compared to +0.33 feet of rise in 2001 and <br />+0.55 rise in 2000. In 2000-2001 the average decline of Ogallala wells was - 3.83 feet as compared <br />to the average Ogallala well decline of -3.70 in 2000-2001. The average of all changes was - 0.75 <br />feet of decline, as compared to -2.38 feet of average change in 2000-2001. Primarily, declines were <br />greatest in southeastern Baca county. <br />Dakota Aquifer <br />In 2002, water level data indicates that of the fifteen wells completed exclusively in the Dakota aquifer, <br />two experienced a decline ranging from - 0.20 feet and - 0.40 feet. Comparatively, 16 wells declined in <br />2001 from -0.10, to -2.40. Rises on wells completed in the Dakota Aquifer range from +0.10 feet to <br />+5.90 feet. <br />-4- <br />
