Summary
This data release consists of a Microsoft® Access database and Microsoft® Excel workbook that contain water-level data and other hydrologic information for wells in and near areas of underground nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site (currently called the Nevada National Security Site). The database provides information for each well (well construction, borehole lithology, units contributing water to the well, and general site remarks) and associated water-level measurements (measurement source, status, method, accuracy, and specific water-level remarks). Additionally, the database provides hydrograph descriptions that document the water-level history and describe and interpret the water-level hydrograph for each well. The workbook [...]
Summary
This data release consists of a Microsoft® Access database and Microsoft® Excel workbook that contain water-level data and other hydrologic information for wells in and near areas of underground nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site (currently called the Nevada National Security Site). The database provides information for each well (well construction, borehole lithology, units contributing water to the well, and general site remarks) and associated water-level measurements (measurement source, status, method, accuracy, and specific water-level remarks). Additionally, the database provides hydrograph descriptions that document the water-level history and describe and interpret the water-level hydrograph for each well. The workbook contains the hydrographs and locations for the wells, which are interactively presented in the workbook as an interface to the database. The workbook also contains selected water-level and well-site information.
The database and workbook are updated annually. Previous versions of the two files (2010-2016; formerly referred to as appendix A) are available at https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/533/. Versions beginning in 2017, are available through this data release under the "Child Items" section. The current version supersedes all previous versions. This data release supports U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 533 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/533/).
