The Kansas Geological Survey reports groundwater levels across much of the state have been on the decline for years. Water levels have been tracked dating back to the 40s and since the mid-90s the state of Kansas has been closely monitoring changes and trends in the aquifer. Throughout this past week, the state has had crews out measuring aquifer levels. This year they are reporting a larger decline. The Kansas Geological Survey and the Division of Water Resources annually record groundwater levels across the High Plains Aquifer stretching from Colby to Liberal and east toward Wichita.
