The purpose of the study was to combine data from previous studies and other records with current information obtained in the area, to evaluate the ground-water resources of the area with respect to future development and to make recommendations as to the needs for future studies.
"The unconsolidated Quaternary aquifer which underlies the Great Bend Prairie in south-central Kansas has undergone a significant increase in irrigation development during the past several decades. In 1974, about 1,160 irrigation wells withdrew roughly 270,000 acre-feet of groundwater from the unconfined aquifer. Optimal allocation of irrigation withdrawals over the long term will require a fundamental understanding of the dynamics of the groundwater aquifer. With this goal in mind, the Geohydrology Section of the Kansas Geological Survey contracted with the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey to simulate flow in the aquifer using finite difference algorithms developed from continuity principles"--Summary
Watershed modeling is at the heart of modern hydrology, supplying rich information that is vital to addressing resource planning, environmental, and social problems. Even in light of this important role, many books relegate the subject to a single chapter while books devoted to modeling focus only on a specific area of application. Recognizing the
