January 1979 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
Marilyn E. Pabst
1979, Open-File Report 79-925
This report contains hydrologic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter, mostly in January, when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. This report also provides basic hydrologic...
