The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $175,634 Cooperative Agreement to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MSDEQ) under the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN) program (CFDA 15.980). The project period runs from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2025.

Under this award, MSDEQ will: 1) provide persistent data services for two years to ensure continuous flow of Mississippi's water-level data to the NGWMN data portal; 2) update metadata for NGWMN monitoring sites; 3) serve continuous water-level data from 38 new wells; and 4) deliver project status and final reports. The goal is to enhance data provided by MSDEQ to the NGWMN, which supports groundwater monitoring and management efforts across the state and nationwide.

USGS ngwmn: proposal for the office of land and water resources, a division of msdeq FY2023PROJECT period: 8 1 2023 through 7 31 2025THE mississippi department of environmental quality (msdeq) 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) and to enhance the data collected by the provider for the ngwmn. During this project the msdeq 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 install continuous water-level monitoring equipment on 38 wells. As part of the project the msdeq 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) serve continuous water-level data for 38 new wells, and 5) produce a final report documenting all work accomplished during the project. The beneficiaries of the work will be the: mississippi department of environmental quality, water users within mississippi, and users of the national ground-water monitoring network.
