Northern High PlainsIrrigation and domestic water supply is from the Ogallala Aquifer. No surface water supply.Lack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowering water levels. This would lead to higher energy and production costs.Kiowa-BijouIrrigation water supply is from theAlluvial Aquifer, No surface water supply. Domestic supply from bothAlluvial and Bedrock Aquifers.Lack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowing of the water table. This would lead to higher energy and production costs.Southern High PlainsIrrigation and domestic water supply is from the Ogallala, Dakota, Cheyenne and Docum Aquifers. No surface water supplyLack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowering water levels. This would lead to higher energy and production costs.Upper Big SandyIrrigation water supply is from theAlluvial Aquifer, No surface water supply. Domestic supply fromAlluvial and Bedrock Aquifers.Lack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowing of the water table. This would lead to higher energy and production costs.Upper Black SquirrelIrrigation water supply is from the Alluvial Aquifer, No surface water supply. Domestic water supply fromDenver Basin AquifersLack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowing of the water table. This would lead to higher energy and production costs. Crow Creek & Camp Creek BasinsIrrigation and Domestic water is from both Alluvial and Bedrock Aquifers. No surface water supply.Lack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowing of the water table. This would lead to higher energy and production costs.Lost CreekIrrigation and Domestic water is from both Alluvial and Bedrock Aquifers. No surface water supply.Lack of precipitation may result in increased pumping and lowing of the water table. This would lead to higher energy and production costs.Designated Ground Water BasinsDenver BasinGround water supply is from the four major Denver Basin Bedrock Aquifers, Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills.The aquifers are not part of the surface system and are not affected by drought conditions. However, in times of shortages in the surface water supply, increased use of ground water from the basin can result in accelerated water level declines
