Reporting Dry Wells

Individuals served by domestic wells who are experiencing a water supply shortage are encouraged to report it to the Department of Water Resources online Household Water Supply Shortage Reporting System. This information will help inform state and local agencies on water shortage impacts on households served by wells and will help identify the need for local, state, or federal assistance.

To report a water supply shortage, go to the MyDryWell webpage and click the “Submit Report” button. The form is also available in Spanish by clicking “Enviar Reporte.” The site also includes Helpful Resources for Homeowners.

Explore state laws, guidance documents, and agency resources related to groundwater management, Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) implementation, drinking water well protections, and California’s groundwater governance framework.
