Denver Basin bedrock

Confined sandstone aquifer; negligible human-timescale recharge — pumping is one-way storage mining.

Because this aquifer does not recharge on a human timescale, a decline here is storage being removed, not a stream being short. It is kept out of the stream-depletion math for that reason.

Water-level record

454 measurements from 2007-02-06 to 2023-08-31. Most recent water-level elevation 5824.54 ft, 1445.46 ft below ground.

Over the record the level is no trend at 13.44 ft per decade (p = 0.9176, n = 454). Mann–Kendall with the Hamed–Rao autocorrelation correction, on water-level elevation; rising elevation means more water.

Chart: water level at this well over time, 2007-02-06 to 2023-08-31, 454 measurements. The record is no trend at 13.44 feet per decade (p equals 0.9176), measured on water-level elevation. Rising elevation means more water. The values are downloadable as CSV from the link above.

What this page is not

Monitoring records are irregular: measurements cluster where somebody chose to look, so a trend describes this well's record, not the aquifer as a whole. Levels are DWR's published measurements, unedited. A trend here is not a prediction, and it is not a determination about anyone's water right.
