     "text": "The Lost Creek Designated Ground Water Basin consists of an alluvial aquifer that is an important source of water for irrigation, public supply, and domestic use in northeastern Colorado. Perennial streams do not exist within the basin, and groundwater in the basin historically has been used primarily for irrigation of agricultural land within the basin\u2019s boundaries.  However, urban growth in the adjacent Front Range urban corridor has increased demand for groundwater in the basin, and potential exportation of groundwater from the basin has raised concerns about the long-term sustainability and management of the basin\u2019s groundwater resources."

A review and update of the existing model using new data and simulation capabilities of MODFLOW-2000 was needed to advance understanding of ground-water flow in the basin and provide information needed for planning and managing the basin\u2019s ground-water resources."
