This report represents the results of water level measurements of wells in the North <br />Kiowa-Bijou Ground Water Management District, Kiowa-Bijou Designated Basin made <br />during the monthS of March and April 1989. This project was done in cooperation with <br />the North Kiowa-Bijou Ground Water Management District of the Kiowa-Bijou Designated <br />Basin and local well owners. Funding for this project was supplied in part from well permit <br />fees collected and managed by the Office of the State Engineer as a result of the passage <br />of Senate Bill 200 during the 1987 legislative session. <br />A total of 37 wells were measured and 39 sites visited. Changes in water level <br />between the 1988 measurements and the 1989 measurements range from a decline of 4.66 <br />feet in T1S, R60W, Sec. 17, to a rise of 1.93 feet in T1S, R62W, Sec 2. The average for <br />the entire basin is a decline of 0.84 feet if the well in Sec 6, T2S, R60W is excluded due <br />to recent nearby pumping. Water level changes for the period of 1980 to 1989 range from <br />a decline of 13.99 feet in T2N, R59W, Sec. 20, to a rise of 13.25 feet in T1S, R62W, <br />Sec.22. The average for the basin over the period of 1980 to 1989 is a decline of 0.55 feet. <br />One Arapahoe bedrock well was measured in Sec.13, T3S, R63W and showed a <br />decline of 15.01 feet since last year. This figure is most likely caused by recent pumping <br />of the well. Over all decline since 1980 has been 4 feet. Further information concerning <br />water levels in bedrock wells can be obtained from the water level report for bedrock <br />wells in the Denver Basin which will be published by the Office of the State Engineer in <br />June. <br />The table of water level measurements included is organized by location. Information <br />presented includes, location, owner, water levels measured in 1980, the 1988 measurements, <br />the 1989 measurements and change from 1988, and the change in water level since 1980. <br />Aquifer designation and remarks are also included. <br />Copies of this report are being made available to well owners for their assistance <br />in this project. Additional reports are available from the Office of the State Engineer, 1313 <br />Sherman Street, Room 818, Denver, Colorado 80203 for a cost of $ 1.50. <br />
