Groundwater Monitoring Network Well Stations


The program began in July 2005 and includes a network of nineteen wells of various depths averaging 150 feet. The selected wells are currently not in use and not impacted by large groundwater withdrawals such as public water wells or irrigation. The network well locations generally represent the major geological formations in the county shown in the map below. Only those wells with a minimum of five years of data are shown. Graphs developed from the collected data show maximum, minimum and average water table depths. With assistance from USGS these graphs eventually will display depths indicating Watch, Warning and Emergency levels of drought for that specific well. These drought status advisories can be extrapolated for the surrounding area when recommendations will be made for non-essential water use.
