The US Geological Survey has begun drilling monitoring wells as part of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program.  This video documents how USGS research drillers are installing wells to monitor groundwater at several river locations.
These wells will help USGS and other agencies track groundwater conditions near the river as additional water is released from Friant Dam as part of the restoration effort.
