Outline 

• Update of DFC Compliance Document to submit for Board approval 

• On‐going coordination with neighboring GCDs • Creation of up‐to‐date Water Level maps• Creation of individual hydrographs for every well

Update DFC Compliance Document• Reason:

‐ Comments from neighboring GCDs‐ Comments from DFC Committee Meetings‐ DFCs have changed (new management plan)

• Response: ‐ Updated document to submit for Board 

approval‐ Additional data transparency steps (outlined 

in this presentation)

Update DFC Compliance Document

• Result:‐ Document is ready for Board 

review/approval‐ New Sparta DFC (28 feet instead of 30 feet)

causes 50% threshold to be exceeded   (result based on water levels from 3 wells)

‐ New Yegua‐Jackson PDL splits Yegua and Jackson aquifers, but evaluated as one aquifer based on data scarcity.

Coordination with neighboring GCDs

• Reason:‐ Comments from neighboring GCD (BVGCD)‐ Aquifer assignments for BVGCD wells 

• Response: ‐ Data swap and phone discussions with Alan 

Day (BVGCD GM) & district hydrologist‐ Recalculation of POSGCD DFCs and PDLs 

with adjusted aquifer assignments

• Most aquifer assignment adjustments were for wells intersecting Brazos River Alluvium

• Steep topography near river doesn’t get captured in large GAM grid cells

• BVGCD bases aquifer assignments on interpretation of well logs

Coordination with neighboring GCDs• Result:

‐ Different aquifer assignments almost all near Brazos River & in BRAA

‐ Updates to aquifer assignments had minor impact on calculated average drawdown

• Planned Activities: ‐ Continue to review aquifer assignments for 

monitoring wells ‐ Continue coordinating with BVGCD and 

other neighboring districts

Creation of up‐to‐date Water Level maps• Reason:

‐ Comments from Board & public‐ Data from new monitor wells is not used for

DFCs (don’t have 2000 water level)‐ Provides useful information to stakeholders 

& improves transparency of information used for aquifer management   

• Response: ‐ Create yearly water level maps by aquifer

Creation of up‐to‐date Water Level Maps

• Result:‐ Water level maps provide year‐by‐year 

update using most recent WLs

Creation of individual hydrographs

• Reason:‐ DFC compliance calculations can be skewed 

by having too few wells‐ District‐wide averages make it difficult to 

identify potential areas of concern.  

• Response: ‐ Create individual hydrographs for each DFC 

monitoring well.

Creation of individual hydrographs

• Results:‐ Individual hydrographs increase 

transparency of DFC & PDL compliance ‐ Provides detailed info for identifying 

potential areas of concern.
