WRD's mission is to provide, protect and preserve high-quality groundwater through innovative, cost-effective and environmentally sensitive basin management practices for the benefit of residents and businesses of these groundwater basins. The aquifers in the Central Basin and West Coast Basin provide for about 40 percent of the total water needs for the people and businesses in the 43 cities covering WRD's 420-square mile service area. WRD has an extensive groundwater monitoring well network used to gather aquifer specific data throughout our service area with over 350 wells installed to a depth of up to 2,900 feet. The monitoring wells are gauged and sampled on a regular basis (typically semiannually) by WRD. The wells are also equipped with pressure transducers used to periodically record water level measurements for use by the District. The bulk of our equipment consists of pressure transducers manufactured by In-Situ, Inc.
