This summary report presents the results of water level measurements of wells <br />in the Northern High Plains Designated Ground Water Basin made during the winter of <br />1988/1989., The project was done in cooperation with the W-Y, Frenchman, Central <br />Yuma, Marks Butte, Sand Hills, Arikaree and Plains Management Districts and the local <br />well owners. Funding for the project was supplied in part from well permit fees collected <br />and managed by the office of the State Engineer as a result of the passage of Senate <br />Bill 200 during the 1987 legislative session. <br />The report is organized by location within ground water management districts, or <br />within counties when no management district exists. The tables included contain well <br />identification, location, owner's name well elevation, and three measurements; 1) the last <br />previous measurement to the 1988 measurements; 2) the 1988 measurement and <br />change in the water level since that measurement; and 3) the measurements and <br />changes in water level for the winter of 1989. <br />Copies of this summary report are available to all well owners whose wells were <br />measured as part of the network. The summary reports are available through the local <br />management districts or through the office of the State Engineer. Copies of the full <br />report for the entire Northern High Plains Designated Basin are available for purchase <br />at a cost of $ 5.00 from the Office of the State Engineer, Colorado Division of Water <br />Resources at 1313 Sherman St., Room 818, Denver, Colorado. <br />Throughout the Northern High Plains water levels trends show a general decline <br />basin -wide with some minor areas of water level rise in the extreme northern and the <br />southern part of the basin.
