State Water Board installs monitoring gauge in pasture well

The California State Water Resources Control Board installed a monitoring gauge inside an unused pasture well to capture how prolonged flooding affects groundwater levels.

Staff had to wade through knee-deep water to reach the well, highlighting that late-winter inundation still covers working fields.
