Rusk County Groundwater Conservation District

The Rusk County Groundwater Conservation District has established a network of 15 monitor wells (in yellow on map above) to keep an eye on the level of the aquifers under Rusk County. These wells are checked monthly for the depth from the surface to water in the well. The depth measurements are recorded and graphed. To view this record click on the link below.

The RCGCD also checks precipitation at some of these sites each month. This information is available on our Rain Gage Page.

The Rusk County Groundwater Conservation District was established by the citizens of Rusk County to preserve and protect the groundwater under Rusk County. The monitoring of this precious resource is one way we can work to fulfill this mandate.
