AMARILLO -- High Plains Underground Water Conservation District personnel are visiting area well sites to make Winter Water Level Measurements to determine the effect of 2012 pumping on groundwater levels of the Ogallala Aquifer within the districts 16-county service area. 

High Plains Water District personnel measure the same wells in the observation well network each year as long as the individual wells are accessible and continue to provide satisfactory data.

The current depth-to-water level measurements in individual wells are compared to those of previous years to determine the average annual change in water levels in the Ogallala Aquifer within the district.
