USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

364358120314906 014S013E11D006M

Central Valley aquifer system

LOCATION - Lat 36°43'57.5", long 120°31'53.5" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NW 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.11, T.14 S., R.13 E., Fresno County, CA, Hydrologic Unit 18040001,

GROUNDWATER RECORDS

WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 1,358 ft. Upper casing diameter 8 in; top of first opening 1,133 ft, bottom of last opening 1,196 ft.

DATUM - Land-surface datum is 288 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Measuring point: TOC WEST SIDE, 1.0 ft above land-surface datum, Apr. 14, 1961 to Jun. 22, 2011; Top of 8.5 inch casing, on north side, 0.39 ft above land-surface datum, Jun. 21, 2011 to present.

PERIOD OF RECORD -

Water years 1961 to current year.

GAGE -

Electronic data logger and pressure sensor; potentiometer and dial gage.

REMARKS -

Record is rated excellent. Sudden water-level changes may be attributed to nearby anthropogenic effects such as pumping and sampling or natural events such as earthquakes. The effects of friction in the extensometer apparatus, likely caused by contact between the extensometer cable and the casing, are evident throughout the record by periods of little change which are terminated by small vertical offsets, which resulted in a frictional deadband in the record. The friction was largely overcome by manually oscillating the cable during field visits, which involved applying force to the cable to free it from the friction. Therefore, the magnitude of compaction that occurred during periods of friction was recorded when the friction was overcome; however, the time delay between actual compaction and recording of the compaction during these periods is unknown.

Site consists of 1 continuous record groundwater well and 1 subsidence monitoring site, located in a building.

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD -

April 2012 to current year.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD -

Highest daily maximum water level recorded, 269.21 ft depth to water below land surface, Apr 5, 2012; lowest daily minimum water level recorded, 508.80 ft depth to water below land surface, Feb. 13, 1968.
