The entire population of the Wood River Valley depends on ground water for domestic supply, either from domestic or municipal-supply wells, rapid population growth since the 1970s has raised concerns about the continued availability of ground and surface water to support existing uses and streamflow. To help address these concerns, ground- and surface-water conditions in the area before and during the population growth that started in the 1970s was evaluated. This dataset helps analyze trends in ground-water data, documents 2006 hydrologic conditions, and is used to compare 2006 and historic ground-water data of the Wood River Valley of south-central Idaho. It represents ground-water conditions in the unconfined aquifer during October 2006 constructed from 88 water-level measurements in the main valley and 8 tributary canyons.
This dataset documents October 2006 ground-water conditions for the confined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, and in comparison with historic ground-water data to estimate changes in water levels between the two periods.

Contour attributes were derived from processes described in USGS SIR2007-5258 and visually checked for correctness.
All contours were visually evaluated and reviewed to be hydrologically consistent and correct.
Contour extents were derived and coded as described in USGS SIR 2007-5258.
All processes fully described in SIR2007-5258.
