Summary

These data describe the wells compiled for the Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer Study (CPRAS). The data included are well ids used in the study, the X and Y coordinates of each well, in feet, in Washington State Plane South NAD 1983 coordinate system (zone 4602), land-surface elevation, in feet, of each well in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), the date each well was drilled, well depth, in feet, and quality flags for well location and land-surface elevation.

Purpose

These data were compiled to provide information about wells for use in the Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer Study model. They were used to study status and trends of groundwater levels within the study area (Burns and others, 2012), and to calibrate a model of Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer System (Ely and others, 2014). Note: These data were used in Burns and others (2012) and in the numerical model of the Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer System described in Ely and others (2014), but the definitive source of groundwater data should be the National Water Information System (NWIS) for U.S. Geological Survey data, and other Agency databases as appropriate.
