Groundwater Levels - December 2008
Note: The groundwater section of the Monthly Water Report is updated on a quarterly basis. The next update will be March 2009.
Water levels are collected on a quarterly basis from approximately 2,500 observation bores across the state. However, in highly developed and potentially stressed areas, referred to as Water Supply Protection Areas (WSPAs), water level monitoring is undertaken on a monthly basis.
