MNDNR’s Hydrologic Conditions Report Shows Current Water Resources Status

Maps showing groundwater level historical rankings in July and August 2026. This ranking compares the most recent monthly median water level for the current month against all historical medians for that month. 20 monthly medians must be available for a site to be ranked. A ranking of 0 represents the lowest level ever recorded; 100 represents the highest; and 50 (the median) means the current level falls midway through the historical range. Values are from data loggers where available; otherwise manual measurements are used. Final data is prioritized over provisional data.

Hot and dry weather conditions this year have put much of Minnesota into a drought. For the latest information on the status of various water resources in Minnesota (including groundwater levels), see the Monthly Hydrologic Conditions Report prepared regularly by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The report places current values of precipitation, stream flows, lake levels, and groundwater levels in long-term historical contexts. The data provide valuable information for water resource management and decision-making across the state.
