The NDWR's water monitoring database contains information related to sites for groundwater measurements. These data are used by NDWR to assess the condition of the groundwater and surface water systems over time and are available to the public on NDWR’s website. Groundwater measurement sites are chosen based on physical location and access considerations, permit terms, and to maximize the distribution of measurement points in a given basin.

This dataset is updated every business day from a non-spatial SQL Server database using lat/long coordinates to display location.  This feature class participates in a relationship class with a groundwater measure table joined using the sitename field.  This dataset contains both active and inactive sites. Measurement data is provided by reporting agencies and by regular site visits from NDWR staff.
