Part of our responsibility is to collect water level data throughout western Hays County.
We have 44 monitoring wells each with its own hydrograph and rainfall comparisons.
Wells are monitored monthly and uploaded to the District’s website for the public’s review

As of December 11, 2013, the District has declared a return to drought stage Alarm. To permit holders, this means a 20% curtailment in their production cutback.
Domestic and Agricultural wells are exempt from District production curtailments, but are encouraged to reduce during drought times.

The District uses three drought triggers: The Pedernales River, the Blanco River and the Palmer Drought Severity Index
To move back to drought stage Critical, the two rivers must flow for 30 consecutive days below the drought stage trigger.
Also reviewed are the drought conditions indicated within the Palmer Drought Severity Index for our area.
