Summary

In cooperation with the Llano Estacado Underground Water Conservation District (LEUWCD), the Sandy Land Underground Water Conservation District (SLUWCD), and the South Plains Underground Water Conservation District (SPUWCD), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) compiled historical geophysical and geochemical data in Gaines, Yoakum, and Terry Counties, Texas, and collected additional data where gaps were evident to assist with building a conceptual hydrogeologic model of the Gaines, Yoakum, and Terry Counties region. The compiled historical data includes all data available from predevelopment (pre-1945) through present day. For this study, predevelopment is considered everything prior to 1945 when the large-scale groundwater extractions [...]

Purpose

The data documented in this data release were collected to develop a conceptual model of the hydrogeologic framework, geochemistry, groundwater-flow system, and hydraulic properties of the Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifers in Gaines, Yoakum, and Terry Counties to improve the understanding of (1) the amount of available groundwater and (2) the potential for water-quality changes resulting from dewatering and increased vertical groundwater movement between adjacent water-bearing hydrogeologic units.
