^^ Below normal conditions for well LY-112 are due to installation of nearby well in August 1999. Record adjusted to compute current conditions shown on map.


NOTE:
1) Continuous water-level records for wells CE-118 (Centre County), BD-654 (Bedford County), and PH-12 (Philadelphia County) are being collected but are not reported in the monthly summary because they are not used for drought monitoring.
