1Water level measured during February to April 2005.
2Prestress refers to the period of record before appreciable ground-water withdrawals for mining or municipal purposes—about 1965. For wells that had no water-level measurement before 1965, the earliest water-level measurement is shown.
3Continuous recorder. Except for well BM3, prestress water levels were estimated from a ground-water model (Brown and Eychaner, 1988).
4Can not be determined because at least one of the water-level measurements is not available.
5D aquifer well.
6Well recently pumped.
