California Department of Water Resources (DWR) | October 3rd, 2022


In this report, groundwater level change values compare spring 2020 to spring 2019, 2017, 2015, and 2010. The information is summarized in Table 1. Spring groundwater level data are an important indicator of groundwater conditions because spring generally corresponds to the pre-irrigation season. This time period is representative of the water year’s peak groundwater levels. Associated maps display groundwater level increases and decreases and summarize data by hydrologic region.
