Water-level declines began in parts of the High Plains aquifer soon after the beginning of substantial irrigation with groundwater in the aquifer area. This report presents water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer from the time before substantial groundwater irrigation development began (generally before 1950, and termed \"predevelopment\" in this report) to 2011 and from 2009-11. The report also presents total water in storage, 2011, and change in water in storage in the aquifer from predevelopment to 2011. The methods to calculate area-weighted, average water-level changes; change in water in storage; and total water in storage for this report used geospatial data layers organized as rasters with a cell size of about 62 acres. These methods were modified from methods used in previous reports in an attempt to improve estimates of water-level changes and change in water in storage.Water-level changes from predevelopment to 2011, by well, ranged from a rise of 85 feet to a decline of 242 feet. The area-weighted, average water-level changes in the aquifer were an overall decline of 14.2 feet from predevelopment to 2011, and a decline of 0.1 foot from 2009-11. Total water in storage in the aquifer in 2011 was about 2.96 billion acre-feet, which was a decline of about 246 million acre-feet since predevelopment.", "description": "iv, 15 p.", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "McGuire, Virginia L. vlmcguir@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Virginia L.", "familyName": "McGuire", "email": "vlmcguir@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-3962-4158", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3962-4158"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Colorado", "url": "https://geonames.org/5417618"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Kansas", "url": "https://geonames.org/4273857"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Nebraska", "url": "https://geonames.org/5073708"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "New Mexico", "url": "https://geonames.org/5481136"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Oklahoma", "url": "https://geonames.org/4544379"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "South Dakota", "url": "https://geonames.org/5769223"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Texas", "url": "https://geonames.org/4736286"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Wyoming", "url": "https://geonames.org/5843591"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-105, 32], [-96, 32], [-96, 44], [-105, 44], [-105, 32]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 38.0, "longitude": -100.5}]}]}
