for more information >>>>>

We invite you to take this time to get information about:

• your well
• the location of the four Denver Basin Aquifers (Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie Fox-Hills)
• state and local water issues
• how and if you fit into the big picture
• where all the developments are in the county
• state and local water officials
• Protect Our Wells - who we are, what we are doing, how it affects you and your well

 

	Got ideas about solving groundwater problems? Bring your solutions to the Open House on August 25th. You can remain anonymous. Note: "Stop growth" is not an option.

 

Grant Proposal to Monitor Denver Basin Aquifers

What Is The Primary Purpose?

Protect Our Wells is proposing a local network of existing and new monitoring wells to measure water levels and monitor changes in the bedrock aquifers of the southern portion of the Denver Basin and identify areas that are likely to be subject to depletions.

Why Is It Needed?

One of the major findings from SWSI identified that an "increased reliance on nonrenewable, nontributary groundwater for permanent water supply brings serious reliability and sustainability concerns to some areas, particularly along the Front Range." There is little information available on the available water within the bedrock aquifers or the degree at which it is being depleted in rural areas.
