For each network, a U.S. map illustrates the distribution of wells in the individual network, and the statistical ranking of the most recent water-level measurement. State and County maps provide a more local picture of groundwater conditions. Individual well pages provide details about a specific well, and all available water-level data from the well. A monthly statistical summary of groundwater levels is presented for wells that have at least 10 years of water-level measurements in a given month. Water-level percentile distributions are presented, and the most recent measurement is categorized, and the associated symbol color-coded, among these percentile categories: greater than the 90th percentile, 76th-90th percentile, 25th-75th percentile, 10th-24th percentile, and less than the 10th.
The value of groundwater data is illustrated by its use. Groundwater Watch makes use of disparate groundwater-level monitoring data by organizing the data into a variety of relevant networks, calculating simple statistics, and providing timely data and information in an easy to use format.
