Water level patterns shown by obserevation bores remote fromo the influence of pumping reflect seasonal conditions, with sharp rises during recharge events followed by a gradual recession as the groundwater mound dissipates by leakage back to the River (eg Bore 30065). Within the radius of influence of pumping bores, water levels decline rapidly with commencement of pumping and then generally show a long term steady trend broken by short term fluctuations related to the pumping schedule. An example of this pattern is Bore 30032/3 (deepest aquifer) which is located centrally within the Gumly Gumly borefield used for a major regional water supply scheme. It shows a rapid response to pumping which commenced in late 1975, with minor long term seasonal changes since 1980 but a very pronounced short term fluctuation related to pumping schedules. S similar pattern is exhibited by Bore 30113, aboout midway between the Gumly Gumly and Wagga Wagga borefields, which indicates the substantial lateral extent of the radius of influence.
