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.
