Water Budget

The figure below depicts the generalized water budget for the Critical Water Planning Area, resulting from the water availability analysis.  Full results of the water availability analysis, including seasonal and sub-watershed water budgets, will be available at the next advisory committee meeting.  The next meeting is Wednesday, October 12th from 1-3pm at the Ag Center in Gettysburg.

Expanding the Program

On September 1st, there were data loggers placed in two wells in Bonneauville in an effort to expand the County wide monitoring program.

One of the wells visited typically flows out over the casing year around. On Sept 1st, it was 1.5' below the top of casing. A week later, I came back to that well to pick up the logger and found it overflowing. There was almost 10" of rain in Bonneauville from Sept 3rd to Sept 8th.
