This Cooperative Agreement award of $163,856.18 from the Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) supports the Illinois State Water Survey (ILSWS) to provide data services and add water quality sites to the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN), CFDA 15.980, over a 2-year period from 9/30/2023 to 9/29/2025. Under this award, the ILSWS will: 1) ensure its water-level network data continues to flow to the NGWMN data portal; 2) update its database and web services to include water quality data elements and begin providing water quality data to the NGWMN; 3) keep the NGWMN monitoring location registry up to date; and 4) produce interim and final reports documenting the project's accomplishments. The key beneficiaries are the ILSWS, water users in Illinois, and users of the NGWMN.

Support of data services and addition of water quality sites to illinois ngwmnproject period: 9 30 2023 through 9 29 2025THE illinois state water survey (ilsws) is a current water-level network data provider. This project is to support flow of the districts data to the national ground-water monitoring network (ngwmn). During this project the ilsws will provide persistent data services for two years to ensure that their data continues to flow the ngwmn data portal and that metadata for network sites are up to date. They will also update their database and web services to include minimum data elements for water-quality data and begin serving water-quality data to the ngwmn. As part of the project the ilsws will: 1) deliver a project status report after one year of work, 2) keep the ngwmn monitoring location registry up to date with latest site metadata, 3) ensure that web services for the ngwmn continue to deliver data to the data portal, 4) begin providing water-quality data to the ngwmn, and 5) produce a final report documenting all work accomplished during the project. The beneficiaries of the work will be the: illinois state water survey, water users within illinois, and users of the national ground-water monitoring network.
