CORRECTED MAP SHOWS BETTER CONDITIONS AROUND SHANDON

he county has released an updated map of the Paso Robles groundwater basin to correct a data error that showed more severe conditions around Shandon than actually exist. According to the consultants who produced the map, the previous version released two weeks ago was incorrect due to a data point that had transposed numbers. The corrected map appears above. At right is the original basin map published in June, current only up to 2009 and showing the most severe declines closer to Paso Robles.
