The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $255,192 Cooperative Agreement to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to support the Indiana Geological and Water Survey's (IGS) contributions to the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN) program (CFDA 15.980). Through this two-year project, the IGS will: 1) maintain up-to-date site metadata in the NGWMN monitoring location registry, 2) ensure data services continue to deliver data to the NGWMN data portal, 3) add two new wells and one replacement well to the NGWMN monitoring network, and 4) produce a final report on the project activities. This work will benefit the IGS, water users in Indiana, and users of the NGWMN data. A portion of the funding will support a subcontract to a licensed water well contractor to drill the three new wells.

Updating and expanding igws contributions to the ngwmnproject period: 9 1 2023 through 8 31 2025THE indiana geological and water survey (IGS) is a current water-level and water quality network data provider. This project is to support flow of the districts data to the national ground-water monitoring network (ngwmn) and to enhance the data collected by the provider for the ngwmn. During this project thewill provide persistent data services for one year 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 drill two new wells and one replacement well. As part of the project thewill: 1) keep the ngwmn monitoring location registry up to date with latest site metadata, 2) ensure that web services for the ngwmn continue to deliver data to the data portal, 3) add the new wells to the ngwmn monitoring location registry and begin serving data for the wells, and 4) produce a final report documenting all work accomplished during the project. The beneficiaries of the work will be the: indiana geological and water survey, water users within indiana, and users of the national ground-water monitoring network. In addition to work performed bystaff, some of the project funds are for subrecipients. Work to drill the three wells will be contracted to a licensed water well contractor.
