Annual Winter Water Level Measurements
The Field Team will be carrying out winter water level measurements across all eight counties within the district.
These measurements serve to determine:
- Decline rates
- Depth to water
- Saturated thickness
We will be measuring over 400 wells over a three-month period, which started in December and will conclude by March 1st. The data gathered over the years is instrumental in generating hydrographs, which illustrate trend lines based on historical measurements.
Furthermore, trendline analyses are performed and integrated with depletion and decline rate calculations to produce contour maps that highlight variations in water levels across the district. All this information is then put in the District's Annual Hydrology Report.
