The drought of the 1950’s resulted in a continual water-level decline as reported in Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin 119, Part 1. Since 1957, however, substantial quantities of recharge have occurred, and as a result the water table has shown a net rise. In addition, Wichita’s withdrawals from the newly completed surface-water reservoir, commencing in 1965, has resulted in a reduced and dispersed draft from the Equus-beds well field, thus affecting the water levels. The maximum decline in w…
