Wells on Record

County
Based on California DWR well completion reports. Riverside County's average well depth is 300 feet shallower than the Riverside County average of 320 feet.
With 7 wells on record, Riverside County has a growing well infrastructure. The wide depth range of 12 to 29 feet reflects the varied terrain and geology across Riverside County's landscape. Shallower wells typically tap into alluvial aquifers near drainages, while deeper wells penetrate mixed alluvial deposits and crystalline basement rock of the Peninsular Ranges to reach more reliable water sources.
At an average depth of 20 feet, agricultural wells in Riverside County require high-capacity pumps sized for significant lift — typically 1 to 5 HP depending on flow rate and total dynamic head. See detailed well depth data for Riverside County →
Agricultural Water Needs in Riverside County
Riverside County's Riverside County location means hot inland temperatures that can push daily irrigation demand to 5,000+ gallons per acre during peak summer months. Agricultural wells here must be sized for sustained high-volume pumping, often 15-50 GPM from alluvial or weathered rock aquifers.
Common agricultural well setups in Riverside County include variable frequency drives (VFDs) to match pump output to demand, storage tanks for buffer capacity, and booster systems for pressurized irrigation lines. We size every agricultural pump to the well's tested yield — oversizing wastes energy and can damage the well by drawing the water level down too fast.
