Regional breakdowns of the data indicate that more areas experienced declining water levels and that fewer areas experienced rising water levels in region I. The western portion of region II showed larger areas with declines, and the eastern portion showed relatively stationary water levels with localized areas of rise and decline. Region III generally showed a trend of decline but to a lesser extent than in 1997-98. In region V, where the water table is relatively shallow, a marked increase in the total area of water-level decline occurred in the western portion of the region while a general tendency toward rise with localized areas of decline occurred over the remainder of the region. Small, localized areas of water-level rise greater than 2 ft were observed in both the western and eastern edges of region V.
