Region 16, Central Nonglaciated Plains
Abstract The Central Nonglaciated Plains of North America (Fig. 3; Table 2, Heath, this volume) extend from Montana to the Bal- cones Escarpment of central Texas (Fig. 1). Not all the regional aquifers that are found within the province are described in this chapter; specifically, the High Plains aquifer and the aquifers of alluvium along the major streams are described in Weeks and Gutentag (this volume) and Rosenshein (this volume). Climate, especially precipitation and evapotranspiration, is widely recognized as the dominant factor controlling streamflow, which plays a major role in modifying landforms in the region. However, the role of climate in controlling the occurrence and movement of ground water is not as widely recognized. Nevertheless, climate is the primary control on the amount of recharge to aquifers in the region. Recharge to the water table from precipitation ranges from less than 25 mm/year near the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains to more than 300 mm/year in the Ozark Plateaus of Arkansas. The dominant geologic characteristic of the Central Nonglaciated Plains is the extensive, nearly horizontal post-Precambrian sedimentary rocks that occur at nearly all locations (Fig. 2), although, the complete post-Precambrian Stratigraphie sequence does not occur at any one location. Major geologic structural features are shown in Figure 3. Geohydrologie units, as designated herein, are rock units that have similar characteristics. They are defined on permeability and their relationship to a reasonably distinct regional hydrologic system. The flow system of most regional aquifers is controlled by altitude of recharge and discharge areas. Major recharge and discharge areas for regional aquifers typically correspond to large physiographic features. The features were used to delineate the geohydrologic units discussed in this chapter. The Central Non-glaciated Plains have been subdivided into hydrophysiographic regions because several regional ground water-water flow systems occur within them. The major hydrophysiographic regions include the Northern Great Plains, the Central Great Plains, the Ozark Plateaus, the Southern Great Plains, and the Edwards Plateau-Llano Hills region (Fig. 1).
