This feature class is updated every business day using Python scripts and the WellNet database. Please disregard the "Date Updated" field as it does not keep in sync with DWR's internal enterprise geodatabase updates.
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.
Groundwater monitoring sites are typically chosen based on spatial location, access, and period of record considerations. When possible NDWR tries to have a distribution of monitoring locations within a given hydrographic area. The entity who does the monitoring depends on the site – for example, some mines have well fields where they collect data and submit those data to NDWR as a condition of their monitoring plan – and some sites are monitored by NDWR staff annually or more frequently. While people can volunteer to have their well monitored, more often the NDWR staff who measure water levels recommend an additional site or staff in the office recommend alternate sites. The Chief of the Hydrology Section will review the recommendations and make a final decision on adding/changing a site.
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.
