Summary
The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources' (LaDNR) Strategic Online Natural Resources Information System (SONRIS) is a repository for well information that includes date of completion, well construction, geology, and water levels. Well information provided by the water well drillers during the permitting process is updated periodically by LaDNR. Well information is available in SONRIS as early as 1930 to the present. This data set consist of 20,759 well records extracted from SONRIS that were likely drilled in the Chicot aquifer system in southwestern Louisiana.

Purpose
The purpose of these datasets is to apply a critical set of thresholds and statistical analysis to water level records from the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources’ (LaDNR) Strategic Online Natural Resource Information System (SONRIS) for use in groundwater studies of the Chicot aquifer system. The thresholds and statistical analysis help to ensure the subset of water-level records extracted from the SONRIS database are a best representation of groundwater conditions in the aquifer.
