Groundwater
In the Ozark Plateau region there are two aquifer sources in which groundwater level measurements are taken: the Ozark aquifer and the Springfield Plateau aquifer. The Springfield Plateau aquifer is of poor quality water and not used much for domestic purposes. Monitoring wells used in this report are located in the Ozark aquifer and what we refer to as the Ozark Plateau aquifer -- wells believed to be screened in both the Ozark and the Springfield aquifers. There are no known monitoring wells solely screened in the Springfield Plateau aquifer besides the dedicated observation well at Pittsburg, Kansas. The Aquifer Charts show the water levels available.
