According to the model, average water levels dropped slightly

- Increased precipitation tended to offset the effects of increased temperature

For the Nueces River Basin, the average aquifer water levels dropped from870 feet to 867 feet

- Less than a 1% difference

- Change lies well within the level of uncertainty for climate-change predictions

- Results provide information about the response of the aquifer to changes in climate, but are not precise
