In March 2003, the WCRC authorized Robert Kirkham (Consulting Geologist) to investigate private water wells located in and near the Creede graben north of the town of Creede, Colorado. The investigation included (1) the collection of publicly available data held by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, State Engineer’s Office (CDWR) and (2) locating the deep wells in the field and determining UTM coordinates for the deep wells.  The purpose of these investigations was to provide preliminary data for water table mapping and to determine directions for further investigations of deep groundwater.
