Other bedrock
Bedrock aquifer; no assumed human-timescale recharge without local evidence.
Because this aquifer does not recharge on a human timescale, a decline here is storage being removed, not a stream being short. It is kept out of the stream-depletion math for that reason.
Water-level record
27 measurements from 1994-02-23 to 2020-02-24.
Over the record the level is decreasing at -3.83 ft per decade (p = 0.0021, n = 18). Mann–Kendall with the Hamed–Rao autocorrelation correction, on water-level elevation; rising elevation means more water.

What this page is not
Monitoring records are irregular: measurements cluster where somebody chose to look, so a trend describes this well's record, not the aquifer as a whole. Levels are DWR's published measurements, unedited. A trend here is not a prediction, and it is not a determination about anyone's water right.
