Introduction <br />Welcome to the Division of Water Resources’ Cumulative Yearly Statistics for 2002. This publication <br />provides our customers with yearly data of surface water use and ground water well application and <br />permitting activity. We hope you find this publication useful. <br />This data is collected from the Division Engineers’ a nnual reports and it represents the seven major river <br />basins in the state. The publication takes yearly stream delivery data , as collected by our division offices, <br />and presents it in two different formats. Yearly tabular data is provided for the water years 1998 through <br />2002. Selections of this data are also provided in a graphical format, providing a viewer-friendly way to <br />observe recent trends in water deliveries and ground water well permitting activities of the Division from <br />1998 through 2002. The severity of the drought in 2002 is evidenced in the graphs on pages 8 and 9 and <br />illustrate the effects of the extraordinary lo w water situation in each division. <br />Included in this report are statistics on the number of well permit applications received by county and the <br />major uses for the year 2002, and the number of completed wells by county and the primary uses through <br />December 31, 2002. <br />Subsequent publications will include the updates for the most recent completed years. <br />Marta Ahrens, Public Information Officer <br />May 2003
