Contour map showing minimum depth to ground water, upper Santa Ana River valley, California, 1973-1979 Contour map showing minimum depth to ground water, upper Santa Ana River valley, California, 1973-1979

A contour map showing minimum depth to ground water from 1973 through 1979 was constructed for the upper Santa Ana River valley region. The map was prepared as an initial step in an ongoing liquefaction-potential study, but is not a liquefaction-hazard map. The contour map indicates where ground water shallower than 50 ft below land surface occurred at least once during the 1973-1979...
