Water-levels along the Lower Platte and Lower Elkhorn Rivers, Nebraska, 2016-2017

This data set contains two sets of measured water-level data collected in an area between the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers just above their confluence. Surface-water and groundwater-level data were collected during the fall of 2016 during synoptic water-level survey completed during a low-groundwater demand period and a summer 2017 synoptic water-level survey completed during a high-groundwater demand period. The elevations of surface-water features were surveyed with a rover receiver using a real-time network, where the rover receiver receives real-time position corrections from a central server through a mobile wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) hotspot linked to the rover receiver. Data collection procedures ensured that positions and elevations [...]
