I'm not sure where you will find that information.
I did find some water table information for you.
An average 23 million ac-ft of water is yielded annually to Utah's streams and rivers. 43,560.0 cubic feet = 1 acre-foot or 3.6X10 gal = 1 acre-foot.
The High Plains Aquifer underlies a 174,000 sq mile area underlaying parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. Utah is not mentioned. The acre-feet gallons of water contained in this aquifer varies from year to year, but in 1980, about 17,800,000 acre-feet of water was withdrawn from the aquifer to irrigate about 13,000,000 acres of cropland. (http://pubs.usgs.gov/ha/ha730/ch_c/C-text5.html)
In 1990, the part of the High Plains aquifer in Colorado contained about 108,000,000 acre-feet of recoverable ground water in storage. In New Mexico, the aquifer contained about 47,000,000 acre-feet. The 155,000,000 acre-feet in eastern Colorado and eastern New Mexico was only about 5 percent of the total recoverable water in the High Plains aquifer in the eight-State area where it is present. (http://pubs.usgs.gov/ha/ha730/ch_c/C-text5.html) Again, Utah is not mentioned in this text.
I hope this helps you.
