Hydrologic Conditions: Surface and Ground Water Resources September 2012 The DNR summarizes the climatic, surface and groundwater resources on a monthly basis using information from a variety of sources.

About two dozen observation wells across the state are used as indicators of the regional ground water levels 2011 2012

Two dozen lakes across the state are used as indicators of the regional lake water levels 2011 2012

Stream flow conditions are based on USGS and DNR watershed indicator gages across the state. 2011 2012

Weekly stream flow conditions as of October 1st Weekly stream flow conditions as of October 1st. Existing conditions and watersheds currently with surface water permit suspensions and/or restricted use. Weekly stream flow reports will continue as conditions warrant or until freeze limits the use of the indicator stream gages.
