Spatial data set of mapped water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2017
The High Plains aquifer extends from approximately 32 to 44 degrees north latitude and 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 dataset consists of a raster of water-level changes for the High Plains aquifer, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2017. It was created using water-level measurements from 2,928 wells measured in both the predevelopment period (about 1950) and in 2017, the latest available static water level measured in 2013 to 2016 from 63 wells in New Mexico and using other published information on water-level change in areas with few water-level measurements. The map was reviewed for consistency with the relevant data at a scale of 1:1,000,000.
