With 887 wells on record, Barstow has a well-established well infrastructure. The wide depth range of 5 to 838 feet reflects the varied terrain and geology across Barstow's landscape. Shallower wells typically tap into alluvial aquifers near drainages, while deeper wells penetrate Mojave Desert alluvial basins and Transverse Ranges crystalline rock to reach more reliable water sources.
At an average depth of 159 feet, well inspections in Barstow should include a static water level measurement, pump performance test, and water quality screening. See detailed well depth data for Barstow →
