ABSTRACT
The Kansas River basin in eastern Colorado in the region and by percolation from inter consists mainly of flat upland plains mantled mittent streams and depressions. Ground in places by sand hills and dissected only by water is discharged from the ground-water res the valleys of the main streams. In this ervoir by movement into adjacent areas to the semiarid region, which has an average annual east and southeast, by evaporation and tran precipitation of about 1? inches, farming and spiration in areas of shallow water table, the raising of livestock are the principal by seepage into perennial streams, and by occupations. Irrigation, which has increased wells. All water used for domestic, stock, greatly since 19^0, is practiced in several public, and industrial purposes and most of places in the region. the water for irrigation is obtained from wells. The exposed rocks in the region are of Cretaceous to Recent age. Much of the region Most of the wells in the area are drilled. is underlain by the Ogallala formation of In 1950, 66 of the wells supplied water to Tertiary (Pliocene) age.

INTRODUCTION Location and extent of region
Purpose of the investigation The region includes all the Kansas River basin in Colorado. It extends southward from the South Platte Valley to Cheyenne Wells and This investigation was begun by the United westward from the Colorado State line to States Geological Survey at the request of the Fleming in the north and Genoa in the south. United States Bireau of Reclamation as a part (See fig. 1.) It includes all of Kit Carson, or the program of the Interior Department for Yuma, and Phillips Counties and parts of development of the Missouri River basin. The Cheyenne, Elbert, Lincoln, Logan, Sedgwick, investigation was endorsed also by the Colo and Washington Counties. The region, which rado State Water Conservation Board. is about 150 miles north and south and aver aging about 60 miles east and west, contains Ground water is one of the important natu about 9*000 square miles. ral resources of eastern Colorado, and each year more irrigation wells are constructed for its further utilization. Irrigation wells are concentrated locally in widely separated Methods of investigation areasj significantly, however, individual wells of large yield are scattered between the areas of concentration. (See pi. 1.) The investigation was begun in July 1950 under the general supervision of A. N. Sayre, The pumping of ground water for irrigation chief of the Ground Water Branch of the U.

In general, system. the dune-sand area has a multicycle dune topography as described by Smith (19^0, p. 1610. In places of rejuvenation, secondary blowouts are common. Dunes in these areas are comparatively bare and probably are migrating to some extent. Elsewhere the dunes are in the youth to maturity stages of the eluvial phase of the sand-dune cycle and are protected by a vegetal cover sufficient to support nu merous cattle. According to Wallace Bruce of the U. S. Conservation Service, soil in the dune-sand area ranges in thickness from a featheredge on the side slopes of the dunes INFLUENT STflEAM to as much as 3 feet in the valleys between the dunes. Some of these interdune valleys are under cultivation. The interior drainage, which is typical of the eluvial phase of the sand-dune cycle, combined with the perme ability of the dunes enables precipitation to percolate rapidly downward to the water table; losses by evaporation, transpiration, and runoff thus are reduced.
The entire upland plain slopes gently from EFFLUENT STREAM west to east. The altitude of the land sur face ranges from more than 5,000 feet above sea level in the west to slightly less than Figure 3.

The Sanborn formation of Pleistocene and Recent(?) One of the most widespread horizons is the age consists mainly of yellow^buff porous un- capping "algal limestone," a reddish-brown, stratified and unconsolidated loess. The Ogallala is overlain locally by this formation. Farther east, in Wallace, Shennan, and Cheyenne Counties, Kans., the formation is thicker and is much more widespread. The Sanborn formation lies above the water table in this region and, hence, does not yield water to wells.
Dune sand (Pleistocene to Recent).. The dune sand of Pleistocene to Recent age in the northern part of the region consists largely of reworked material derived from the Ogallala formation. The dune sand yields water to stock wells where the water table is close to the surface. The hydrologic importance of the dune-sand area, however, is due to its ability to absorb water rapidly. Because of the high porosity and permeability of the dune sand and because of the poorly developed surface drain age, much of the water from precipitation per colates downward to the zone of saturation and little water is lost by runoff, evaporation, or transpiration.
Alluvium (Recent).--Alluvium of Recent age, consisting of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, underlies the flood plains of the major streams.
