Ground-water level contours for the unconfined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, south-central Idaho, representing conditions
during October 2006.

Resource Abstract:
The entire population of the Wood River Valley depends on ground water for domestic supply, either from domestic or municipal-supply
wells, rapid population growth since the 1970s has raised concerns about the continued availability of ground and surface
water to support existing uses and streamflow. To help address these concerns, ground- and surface-water conditions in the
area before and during the population growth that started in the 1970s was evaluated. This dataset helps analyze trends in
ground-water data, documents 2006 hydrologic conditions, and is used to compare 2006 and historic ground-water data of the
Wood River Valley of south-central Idaho. It represents ground-water conditions in the unconfined aquifer during October 2006
constructed from 88 water-level measurements in the main valley and 8 tributary canyons.

Title Ground-water level contours for the unconfined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, south-central Idaho, representing conditions
during October 2006.
This dataset documents October 2006 ground-water conditions for the unconfined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, and in comparison
with historic ground-water data to estimate changes in water levels between the two periods.
