ABSTRACT:
This dataset consists of water table elevation estimates for the High Plains (Ogallala) Aquifer from 1935 to 2016, updated in 2017 using methods described in the following paper:
Haacker, E.M., Kendall, A.D. and Hyndman, D.W., 2016. Water level declines in the High Plains Aquifer: Predevelopment to resource senescence. Groundwater, 54(2), pp.231-242.
The dataset also includes derived aquifer boundaries and aquifer base elevation, which can be used to derive an estimate of saturated thickness. In addition, county-level information for average water tables, water in storage (saturated thickness x area x specific yield), and variance is included in an Excel file. Please see the ReadMe tab in the Excel file for more information.
