Title: North Carolina Ground Water Monitoring Wells
Edition: 1st
Abstract: Detailed information about ground water research station wells from EHNR and USGS data bases is recorded. Data base includes construction information and historical water levels for EHNR and USGS wells in North Carolina.
Purpose: Ground Water Wells have been gathered together from various sources including the USGS and several sources within the NC Department of EHNR to allow more professionals outside government circles access to important hydrogeological information. Access to the digital version of this data will foster rapid educational growth and encourage professional discussions. Research station wells are monitored for water levels to gauge the reaction of aquifers to weather patterns or natural stresses and human induced stresses such as pumping.
