         Figure 8.12.  Maps of the change in water-level elevation (in feet)  in the  Equus
               Beds aquifer  from  1975  to  selected years obtained using BMEmean esti-
               mates.  Observation wells where hard, soft interval,  and soft probabilistic
               data were available  in space/time are depicted  by triangles,  circles, and
               stars,  respectively.


         error  standard deviation  for the  1975  map is larger than for  the  1998  map, due
        to  the  smaller number  of  observations available in  1975.  Also,  as a  result  of
        the  significant  number  of  observation wells located  in the  valley, the  1975  and
         1998  water-level  maps  are  more accurate in  the  valley than  at  higher  ground
         elevations.
