WATER LEVELS IN THE ALLUVIAL <br />AQUIFERS OF THE LOWER <br />SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN, <br />COLORADO <br />2003 <br />The purpose of this report is to provide water level data for the network of monitoring wells <br />within the Lower South Platte Alluvium for the period of Spring 1988 through Spring, <br />2003. Currently, the network consists of 79 wells within the regular network and a special <br />Addendum A of 194 wells from the Colorado State University (CSU) measurement <br />network. The data presented in #his report is a result of cooperation between well owners, <br />the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (CCWCD), Colorado State University <br />(CSU) and Robert Longenbaugh and the Colorado Division of Water Resources (CDWR). <br />Funding for this project is supplied in part from well permit fees collected and managed by <br />the CDWR as a result of the passage of Senate Bill 200 during the 1987 legislative <br />session. <br />The body of this report includes up to 30 water level measurements for each well for the <br />indicated period in addition to a water level measurement taken at the time of construction <br />of the well, if available. Measurements are usually taken twice a year, typically in the <br />spring before irrigation pumping commences and in the fall after irrigation pumping has <br />ceased. The measurement values in this report are expressed in feet below ground <br />surface to water surface and were obtained utilizing an electric sounder device or steel <br />tape. All measurements were done by Division 1 Water Commissioners (CDWR), CSU <br />and Robert Longenbaugh (Addendum A wells), or the CCWCD as indicated for each well. <br />All of the wells are completed in unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt and clay deposits <br />predominantly of alluvial origin. <br />
