USGS
Ground Water Levels for Nebraska
Groundwater levels throughout the North Platte
NRD are constantly fluctuating. Influences include relationship
to surface water, seasonal trends and increased use. In addition
to the nearly 600 NRD monitoring wells located throughout the
district, we also use U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) monitoring sites to collect data for groundwater
levels.
Of the 21 USGS monitoring well sites in the state, 15 are located
within the NPNRD. You can access real-time or 30-day average groundwater
level readings from a USGS site near you, as well as precipitation
data, at the USGS website. (see link at left).
The USGS published report, "Age
and Quality of Ground Water and Sources of Nitrogen in the Surficial
Aquifers in Pumpkin Creek Valley, Western Nebraska, 2000"
provides information about the age of groundwater in
the Pumpkin Creek Basin, generalized groundwater flow paths and
the like sources of nitrogen in surface water and groundwater
samples at selected locations in Pumpkin Creek Valley.
