Summary

Groundwater potentiometric-surface contours for spring 2022 (April 4 to 8, 2022) and autumn 2022 (October 30 to November 4, 2022) were created for the alluvial aquifer in Big Lost River Valley. The well numbers and station names used to create the potentiometric-surface contours and groundwater-level change maps are provided in this data release. The location, depth to water, and potentiometric-surface altitude for these wells can be accessed on USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) or Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) groundwater portal. The interpreted 20-foot contours of the potentiometric-surface are also provided in this data release. The contours are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD [...]

Purpose

This data release presents (1) the well numbers, station names, and total well depth used to create potentiometric-surface contours and groundwater-level change maps for the alluvial aquifer in the Big Lost River Valley (2) shapefiles of the 20-foot groundwater-potentiometric surface contours for spring 2022 and autumn 2022, (3) shapefile of the groundwater-level change in feet from spring to autumn 2022, spring to autumn 1968, spring 1968 to spring 2022, and spring 1991 to spring 2022.
