The Humboldt-Toulon Sink south of Lovelock was covered again for the second 
season. The water level was down compared to the previous year; however production 
was up by 21 percent. In July the maximum water depth was about two feet and by 
August, since there was very little inflow, the maximum depth had dropped to around 
one foot. ;
