Hydrogeologic characteristics of the valley-fill aquifer in the Arkansas River Valley, Bent County, Colorado

The investigation on which this report is based is a part of a comprehensive evaluation of the water resources of the Arkansas River valley undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District. The study reach extends 150 miles from Pueblo to the Kansas State line. The water-resources investigation of the stream aquifer system in the Arkansas River valley, which began in 1963, is being made to provide information about the water resources for planning, management, and administration of the supply. The objectives of the investigation are to define the effects of present water use, to determine the relation between ground and surface water, and to evaluate the effects of proposed changes in water law and management. The major steps in the study are: (1) Inventory the water resources, (2) describe the hydrogeologic character of the aquifer, (3) document and evaluate the effects of development, (4) construct and verify models to aid in the evaluation of the hydrology, and (5) develop models to test water-management plans and to optimize water use.
