Northern Sacramento Valley Groundwater Elevation Change Maps

Groundwater Elevation Change Maps summarize the change in groundwater level measurements over time, collected from wells in the northern Sacramento Valley by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Northern Region Office (NRO) and monitoring cooperators. Northern Sacramento Valley groundwater levels are measured seasonally, during the annual water year, as part of our ongoing data collection program. Many of the wells have over 30 years of monitoring history, with the longest active monitoring well dating back to 1921. Groundwater level data provides valuable information regarding seasonal fluctuations and long-term changes in groundwater level trends over time. The groundwater level data presented in these figures includes the Sacramento Valley and Redding groundwater basin portions of Shasta, Tehama, Butte, Colusa, Glenn, and Sutter counties and are organized by year, season, well depth, and period of change.
