Long term water level records are needed to evaluate the effects of climatic variations on the recharge to and discharge from the ground-water systems, to provide a data base from which to measure the effects of development, to assist in the prediction of future supplies, and to provide data for management of the resource.
Ground water levels are monitored in 63 wells in selelcted regions throughout the state, primarily from areas stressed by pumping. Continuous record is available for 35 wells and periodic measurements for 25 wells. |
