1ft/decade

Wise County, VA, 54 miles from Breathitt County, is the closest county with a qualifying well, and its water table is rising, getting shallower over time.

No well inside Breathitt County clears this site's 15-year qualifying bar, so this is the closest real reading, not a measurement of Breathitt County's own aquifer. Worth checking your own well's depth log against it rather than assuming it matches. See Wise County, VA's full page. See the no-data guide for why a county this close to a qualifying well still doesn't get its own number.
