Additionally, Kathy
Redeker, an em-
ployee of the Water
District since May of
1975, was assigned
editorship of The
Cross Section, and
the role of WaterDistrict Information and Education
Director when Patricia Bruno left
the District to manage P&R Surge Irri-
gation Systems. Kathy began her career
with the Water District as the Recep-
tionist/Secretary and has since served
as Assistant to the Public Information/
Education Section and Executive Secre-
tary for the Manager for approximately
the past five years before taking over
her current assignments.
Kathy notes, "The District has an
extensive and comprehensive public
school water conservation educational
program which is currently being
utilized in 65 school districts located
within the boundaries of the Water
District. We endeavor to inform all the
citizens we serve regarding the im-
portance of their water resources. I
THE CROSS SECTION (USPS 564-920)
HIGH PLAINS UNDERGROUND WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT NO. 1
2930 AVENUE Q
LUBBOCK, TEXAS 794051980. Don also researches water well
drillers' logs and supervises the water-
level observation well monitoring pro-
gram. From the annual water-level
observation well measurements, Don
constructs yearly change-in-water level
decline maps. Information is taken
from these maps to provide decline
data to landowners for use in claiming
a cost-in-water income tax depletion
allowance. Don's other activities in-
clude geophysical logging and super-
vision of the District's water quality
monitoring program. He also serves as
radiological safety officer for the
District.
Don believes, "It is extremely im-
portant to the landowners and opera-
tors in our service area that we provide
reliable information on the Ogallala
aquifer. The maps the District has
created have been and continue to be
valuable tools for the residents of the
area in determining the depth to water
below land surface, the depth below
land surface to the base of the forma-
tion, and the volume of water in stor-
age under their tract of land. Addi-
tionally, these maps and other data can
be used to estimate potential well
yields, to determine the most promis-
ing location to drill a well for the best
yields, and other valuable informa-
tion." Don and the staff of the Geo-
hydrologic Section strive to provide the
highest quality, most reliable data
possible.Growing demands on limited water supplies will
result in the necessity of making choices. A 2000-
acre farm can use as much water per day as a city of
50,000 does. If a particular water supply cannot
support both, which has priority? The city of
50,000? Or the farm that feeds that city?

STAFF CHANGES
Three fresh faces
were added to the
District's staff during

Becca Williams to assume the duties
of Chief of the Permit Section. Lindy

masters degree and just happened to
be in the right place at the right time
with the right credentials when a posi-
tion opened with Don Smith leaving
the District to join the Texas Depart-
ment of Water Resources' Lubbock
staff.
"With all the changes in responsi-
bilities and assignments," states Wayne
Wyatt, District Manager, "I can't say
that 1984 has been one of our most
organized years. But, I believe we now
have an excellent team of staff mem-
bers in place who are ready to meet
the challenges of the coming years.". continued from page 1
would like to see the day when every
child entering the Texas Public School
system will be taught about their
water resources, where their water
comes from and how each child can
use water wisely without waste. That
way, when they become the adults of
tomorrow they will be prepared to
deal with the challenges the future
holds in meeting their water needs."
With Kathy's ap-
pointment as Direc-
tor of the Informa-
tion/Education Divi-
sion, a vacancy was
'e I created at the Execu-
/ 1"'%. tive Secretary's desk.
Carole Rosiak, as re-
ported in the April, 1984 issue of The

moving over from the Receptionist/

duties of Executive Secretary for the
Manager.'
