Fig. 9. Comparison of measured and simulated present-day heads at the top of the saturated zone along two eastwest transects. *These data were collected in wells that are no longer accessible for measuring. LA4 and LA1B are in a well field that has been shut down since the early 1990s; all wells have shown significant recovery since they were shut down. The lower circle shows the most recent measurement available. The upper circle shows the water level measured during the initial drilling, which would approximate current water levels if the wells had fully recovered. H-19 has not been measured since 1949. Measured drawdowns in this portion of the aquifer have been very small. In 1997 the furthest western well (TW-4), closer to water supply wells than H-19, had declined <1 m since 1950.
