Monterey County, CA Water Table Trend
Monterey County, CA: the closest actual trend
Santa Cruz County, CA, 66 miles from Monterey County, is the closest county with a qualifying well, and its water table is declining faster than most declining counties.
No well inside Monterey County clears this site's 15-year qualifying bar, so this is the closest real reading, not a measurement of Monterey County's own aquifer. Worth checking your own well's depth log against it rather than assuming it matches. See Santa Cruz County, CA'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.
