Excerpt from Ground Water in the San Jacinto and Temecula Basins, California In connection with the studies of fluctuation of ground water tests of pumping plants in the region were made in 1910 by Herman Stabler, whose results are appended to the present report.

Excerpt from Water Well Standards, State of California Our ground water resources are becoming increasingly important to all Californians. In an ordinary year, about 40 percent of the water used in the State is derived from underground sources. During the 1976-77 drought, however, that figure rose to 53 percent. To ensure the continued utility of our underground resources, they must be protected. Standards for both the construction of water wells and the destruction of abandoned wells can help protect ground water quality. Furthermore, deficiencies in the design and construction of wells usually result in higher operating and maintenance costs. The establishment and implementation of well standards in an area provide more assurance that wells are likely to require less maintenance and will have longer useful lives. Since the initial printing of these standards in February 1968, 30 counties and 132 cities have enacted ordinances, based on Bulletin 74, governing the construction, alteration, and destruction of all water wells within their boundaries. (At that time, three other counties already had ordinances in effect.) These ordinances specify that water wells be constructed, or destroyed when their useful lives are over, in accordance with the guidelines contained in the Department of Water Resources' standards. Changes in the field of well construction (methods, equipment and materials), together with the experiences of applying the 1968 standards, warrant revising and updating them. As a result, this new edition is being issued. Counties and cities that have not yet done so are urged to consider enacting well construction standards to protect the quality of ground water supplies for the benefit of their citizens. Where standards are in effect, consideration should be given to revising them to reflect the modifications presented in this bulletin.

Excerpt from Records of Water Levels in Wells in Southern California The prosperity Of this important region is very largely dependent upon its ground-water resources. Most of the water supplies, whether used for domestic purposes or irrigation, are Obtained wholly or in part from ground water. In 1905 Mendenhall2 estimated that two thirds of the land at that time under irrigation in this region Obtained its water from subterranean sources during the protracted period of low run - Off then prevailing. Since that time much more land has been brought under irrigation, and the proportion of land supplied with ground water has probably been increased.

Excerpt from Sea-Water Intrusion in California: Inventory of Coastal Ground Water Basins The ground water supply of many urban communities adjacent to the coast of California is threatened by underground intrusion of saline water from the Pacific Ocean. This condition exists whenever ground water levels have been drawn down below sea level. To assist local agencies that must cope with this threat, the Department of Water Resources continually monitors wells in these areas to determine whether sea water has intruded the ground water basin. This is accomplished by testing the salt content of water samples from wells and measuring the fluctuation of water levels in wells. The primary purpose of this bulletin is to show, as completely as available information permits, the present status of seawater intrusion, to the end that local agencies can decide where they must take steps to reverse the condition. A corollary purpose is to show the need for more information on intrusion in certain areas where the situation is particularly critical. This study was undertaken solely to determine the extent and location of sea-water intrusion into coastal basins and to compile an inventory that would assist local agencies in assessing the water supply conditions in their areas. It was not designed to arrive at any specific conclusions or recommendations for on-site control of intrusion in individual basins. This effort is planned to encourage the formation of a cooperative statewide program to monitor coastal ground water basins. It is anticipated that the Department of Water Resources will meet with local agencies to develop such a program. As a minimum, it will require ground water quality sampling and measurements of water levels in wells. The Department recommends that coastal basins having known or suspected intrusion should be monitored at least every one to two years; basins containing high chlorides of doubtful origin should be monitored at least every three years; and the remaining basins should be surveyed about every five years.
