Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. These data are in support of report DS 456 (Arnold and others, 2009). This grid represents the depth to groundwater in the High Plains Aquifer in Colorado in 2000. The depth-to-water grid was generated for the entire High Plains Aquifer from depth-to-water measurements collected in 2000. Shown as figure 12 in McMahon and others (2007).

Purpose

This depth-to-water grid was used as input in designing a well network to sample groundwater for agricultural chemicals in areas of agricultural irrigation overlying the High Plains Aquifer in Colorado. The grid was used to determine areas where the depth to water was less than 180 feet below land surface. Work was done in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
