Digital map of water-level changes in the High Plains Aquifer in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming, 1980 to 1995
This data set consists of digital water-level-change contours
for the High Plains aquifer in the central United States, 1980 to 1995. The
High Plains aquifer extends from south of 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north
latitude and from 96 degrees 30 minutes to 104 degrees west longitude. The aquifer
underlies about 174,000 square miles in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
New Mexico, Okl

Simulation of ground-water flow in the High Plains aquifer, southern sandhills area, west-central Nebraska
A generalized ground-water flow model was prepared for the High Plains aquifer in the southern sandhills area of west-central Nebraska. A grid of 4- by 4-mile nodes was established over the study area. Steady-state water levels were simulated using a distribution of recharge from a soil-moisture budget model and from estimates of hydraulic conductivity obtained from logs of test holes in the area.

Water-Level Changes in the High Plains Aquifer, 1980 to 1995
The High Plains aquifer underlies one of the major agricultural areas in the world, including parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. Ground-water irrigation expanded rapidly after 1940 in the area underlain by the High Plains aquifer (called the 'High Plains region' in this report): 1949--2.1 million acres; 1959--6.1 million acres; 1969--9.0 mi
