Ground-water Management Model for the Elk City Aquifer in Washita, Beckham, Custer and Roger Mills Counties, Oklahoma
Abstract
Geologic and hydrogeologic properties of the Elk City Sandstone and the overlying unconsolidated sediments are evaluated and used in a ground-water management model. The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum annual yield and corresponding annual pumping allocation for the Elk City Sandstone Aquifer in accordance with Oklahoma ground-water law. The computer model is used to determine the maximum annual yield based on predicted changes in the potentiometric surface (water table) caused by pumpage prior to July 1, 1973, and subsequent allocated pumpage until July 1, 1993.
