Dry Domestic Well Susceptibility and Reporting Fact Sheet

This resource includes a brief fact sheet describing DWR's [Dry Domestic Well Susceptibility Analysis](https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/calgw-live/resource/e0bf3d2b-ceca-41ca-876f-d3e378503583) and [Dry Well Reporting System](https://mydrywell.water.ca.gov). DWR, in coordination with the State Water Resources Control Board, has developed an interactive dashboard, called the Dry Domestic Well Susceptibility within Groundwater Basins Dashboard (Dry Well Susceptibility Dashboard), to identify areas within groundwater basins throughout the State that may be prone to water supply shortages due to domestic drinking water wells going dry. The dashboard identifies the density of "susceptible” domestic wells per square mile based on recent groundwater level measurements and modeled future depth to water. If the modeled future depth to water falls below the dry well depth of a domestic well, the well is labelled susceptible. The Dry Well Susceptibility Dashboard is housed on the California’s Groundwater Live web-based platform which contains the latest information and data on groundwater conditions across the State. The State, local agencies, and well owners can use this dashboard to anticipate where wells may be susceptible to inform drought preparedness decision-making and resource allocation.
