KINGMAN
The Arizona Department of Water Resources will have staff in the Kingman area taking well measurements in the next few weeks. In anticipation of the field visits, employees in ADWR's Hydrology Division have been attempting to contact landowners and lessees. The purpose is to obtain permission so ADWR may enter the property.
The ADWR staff will be taking depth-to-water measurements at wells that have a long period of record and have become part of the state's annual "index line." A map of the sites is at http://arcims.azwater.gov/gwsi/Default.aspx and water data collected is at http://arcims.azwater.gov/gwsi/waterresourcedata.aspx
