  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The High Plains aquifer in Kansas is part of a regional system that extends into Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.&amp;nbsp; The aquifer in Kansas underlies an area of 31,000 square miles in the western and south-central part of the State.&amp;nbsp; This aquifer is a hydraulically connected assemblage of unconsolidated water-bearing deposits.&amp;nbsp; In western Kansas, the High Plains aquifer consists principally of the Ogallala Formation of late Tertiary age and the overlying deposits of Quaternary age.&amp;nbsp; In south-central Kansas, the aquifer consists of unconsolidated deposits principally of the Quaternary age.&amp;nbsp; Valley alluvium of Quaternary age also is included in the deposits in both areas.&amp;nbsp; The High Plains aquifer is delimited on the east by outcrops of Permian or Cretaceous rocks and by unsaturated deposits of Quaternary age.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
