dc.description.abstract |
Though researchers have documented groundwater and land use changes in the High
Plains, few studies have investigated their interactions. This paper examines the relationship
between groundwater depletion and agricultural land use change in greater detail than previous
studies. Water well measurements and satellite imagery were used to detect changes in
groundwater and land cover in Wichita County, Kansas, between 1975 and 2001. Analysis of
these changes using GIS indicated that areas experiencing the greatest decline in groundwater were
indeed being removed from irrigation, while areas with limited groundwater decline were
experiencing fewer land use changes. |
