The following narrative describes the source(s) of current water supply for water user groups in Armstrong County. All groundwater supplies are based on the PWPG adopted approach for the respective aquifer. There are no projected shortages in Armstrong County. Based on the findings of the updated Northern Ogallala GAM, Armstrong County is shown to have less available groundwater. Further review of the available supplies with the updated GAM model is needed. Preliminary assessments indicate that no new shortages will be identified. Claude

The following narrative describes the source(s) of current water supply and recommended water management strategies for water user groups in Carson County. All groundwater supplies are based on the PWPG adopted approach for the respective aquifer. The analysis of supplies includes the City of Amarillo and others withdrawing water from Carson County for use elsewhere in the region. Based on the findings of the updated Northern Ogallala GAM, Carson County is shown to have less available groundwater. Initial assessments with the updated GAM supplies indicate that the City of Panhandle will have a shortage beginning in 2030. County-Other
