Key activities include revising web services, installing continuous water-level monitoring equipment on 3 new wells and 1 modified existing...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded a $58,873.13 cooperative agreement to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) under the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN) program (CFDA 15.980) for the two-year period from September 15, 2025 through September 14, 2027. The OWRB will deliver persistent data services to maintain continuous data flow from Oklahoma's groundwater monitoring network to the NGWMN data portal, perform maintenance work at 20...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $303,703 to develop a novel approach for characterizing hydrostratigraphy using water level data collected from multi-level monitoring wells. The University of Iowa will collect water level measurements every 10 seconds from 10 to 15 depths in monitoring wells located at a contaminated groundwater site. Analyzing the response of water levels to rainfall and pumping changes will help delineate the...

The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $298,114 Cooperative Agreement to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) to support the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN) program (CFDA 15.980) from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025. Under this award, NCDEQ will: Provide persistent data services for two years to ensure NCDEQ's water-level and water quality network data continues to flow to the NGWMN data portal and that site...

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $7,326,016 Project Grant under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program to the Mcmullin Area Groundwater Sustainability Agency (MAGSA), a non-profit organization located in central California. The grant will fund the installation of a groundwater well measurement and monitoring array with a telemetric data collection system across 925 wells and 6 weather stations in MAGSA's service area. This project aims to improve water...

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...

This five-year, $800,071 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. The awardee, Michigan Technological University, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and GRACE data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface flows. Through data assimilation, the project will produce historical and forecast...

The Suwannee River Water Management District received a $109,677.96 cooperative agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network program. The award will support the District's expansion of data to the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network from July 15, 2021 through July 16, 2021. The National Ground-Water Monitoring Network is a cooperative system managed by the U.S. Geological Survey to collect, manage and report groundwater data needed to...
