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

12 measurements from 2014-09-16 to 2021-04-11. Most recent water-level elevation 5141.0 ft, 1044.0 ft below ground.

Over the record the level is insufficient data . 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, 2014-09-16 to 2021-04-11, 12 measurements. The record is insufficient data (p equals None), 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.
