Title

Magnolia Production Well Development Program

Description

The proposed Magnolia production well would allow increased well pump cycling so that existing DWP wells could be turned off or rested more frequently, thereby reducing localized water table drawdown associated with pumping. The proposed production well would also serve to replace production lost because existing wells have been removed from production for maintenance, water quality or other reasons. The proposed production well location has been selected based upon water bearing potential, results of test well drilling and water quality sampling. The proposed well is expected to yield between 100 and 300 gpm but to be active 56% of the time such that it would be equivalent to yielding between 56 and 168 gpm. The proposed well would thus yield 90 to 270 acre-feet/year. Thus, the combined existing and proposed water extraction would total approximately 580 acre-feet/year.
