Summary of ground-water data, Post Headquarters and adjacent areas, White Sands Missile Range

Geohydrologic data have been obtained from more than 100 wells and test holes that have been drilled in the Post Headquarters and adjacent areas of White Sands Missile Range. Observation-well data show that, in general, a continuous decline of the water table has occurred in the vicinity of the well field since production began in 1949. Approximately 40,000 acre-feet of water has been produced from the aquifer to date (1972).

A series of maps are presented which show the changes that have occurred in the well field as the result of development.
