Is the Miami Valley Buried Valley Aquifer being replenished enough to keep pace with its use?
Another way to ask this question would be, “Is the water table remaining at least constant over time?” or “Will our well supply enough water for the future?” It varies by location within the aquifer, but generally the answer is “yes.” Data from downtown Dayton shows that the water table has actually risen—probably due to reduced heavy industrial use. Some suburban cities and small towns do have growing populations, requiring those communities to develop additional wellfields.
