Weather conditions within the City of Riverside showed that November of 2020 was warmer by 1.8 degrees from November last year and experienced an increase of 0.01 inches of rainfall compared to November 2019. There were no significant events for the water system in November 2020. Basin Groundwater Levels Groundwater levels in the Bunker Hill, Rialto -Colton, and Riverside North basins are continuing to show a long-term declining trend, while groundwater levels in the Riverside South Basin remain relatively stable as shown in Figure 6. Water levels decreased by 6 feet in the Bunker Hill Basin. Water levels in the Rialto -Colton Basin increased by 4 feet as compared to November of last year. This level increase may be due to decreased pumping activities in the local area near the key monitoring well. Water levels in the Riverside North Basin decreased by 1 foot, while the levels in the Riverside South Basin increased by 2 feet as compared to last year.
