Inyo County Water Department's Annual Report on Activities and Conditions in the Owens Valley 1998


The Owens Valley Monitor is the Inyo County Water Department's annual report on monitoring and other work performed by ICWD and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. In accordance with the Inyo/Los Angeles water agreement, ICWD and LADWP monitor water activities in the valley and their effects on groundwater levels and vegetation. The two agencies also conduct scientific research on methods of improving water management.
