Summary

The High Plains aquifer extends from about 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude and from about 96 degrees 30 minutes to 106 degrees west longitude. The aquifer underlies about 175,000 square miles in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. This digital data set consists of three sets of water-level measurements. The first set are the supplemental water-level measurements for 457 wells screened in the High Plains aquifer, not located in New Mexico , and measured in predevelopment, and between 2013 and 2016, but not in 2017. These supplemental measurements were used to calculate historical water-level change values for predevelopment to 2013 to 2016 and approximate water-level [...]

Purpose

This dataset, a point shapefile, is supplemental water-level-change data used to substantiate the map water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer from predevelopment (about 1950) to 2017. The dataset is formatted for use with Geographic Information System software.
