The Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) has compiled well data as a service to our customers using information from various sources. The Groundwater Site Inventory (GWSI) database is the ADWR main repository for state-wide groundwater data. The GWSI consists of field-verified data regarding wells and springs collected by personnel from Hydrology Divisions Basic Data Section, the U.S. Geological Survey, and other co-operating agencies. The information in GWSI is constantly being updated by ongoing field investigations and through a state-wide network of water level and water quality monitoring sites. Web services were created from available water data for Arizona downloaded from http://www.azwater.gov/azdwr/gis/. The latitude and longitude values are in Geographic NAD 27. The Feature class is projected to NAD 83 UTM ZONE 12N. There are 35 additional tables associated with the GWSI Shapefile. These tables were last updated 10/7/2013. Please see the README file contained in this .zip file for further information.

Purpose and intended use - This data set is used for analysis by the ADWR Recharge and Recovery group and is displayed in several ADWR GIS applications.Description of USF Program: An Underground Storage Facility (USF) Permit(A.R.S. § 45-811.01) allows the permit holder to operate a facility that stores water in the aquifer. The criteria a USF must meet in order to be permitted include:1. The project must be hydrologically feasible;2. The applicant must demonstrate financial and technical capability;3. The applicant must agree in writing to obtain any required floodplain use permit from the county flood control district before beginning any construction activities;4. The project may not cause unreasonable harm to land or other water users within the area of impact; and5. The project will continue to be monitored to ensure storage does not cause the migration of poor quality water. A Constructed Underground Storage Facility Permit allows for water to be stored in an aquifer by using some type of constructed device, such as an injection well or percolation basin. A Managed Underground Storage Facility Permit allows for water to be discharged to a naturally water-transmissive area such as a streambed that allows the water to percolate into the aquifer without the assistance of a constructed device. All surface flows entering and exiting a managed underground storage facility must be measured at the facility boundaries in a manner consistent with the Department’s measuring device rules (R12-15-905 & 906 ).Data creation methodologies, processing, and quality - Locations have been determined using aerial imagery, handheld GPS equipment, or materials supplied by permittees. Underground Storage Facility (71- ) feature class was dissolved over the rechargeUSF feature class and is maintained by ADWR. Each shape was created to reflect the permitted recharge boundaries of basins, wells, and river channels. This is a dissolved version of the LIB.rechargeUSF dataset and is displayed in multiple applications.Data limitations – ADWR staff have worked to improve the accuracy of features within this dataset , however ADWR makes no claims regarding the data quality. For instance, the dataset may not capture all current features of facilities or permits.

Program Background - ADWR has two key groundwater well data sets for the state of Arizona. The 'Wells 55 Registry' corresponds with this WellRegistry GIS layer and contains all wells registered in the state. The database was originally created in 1980 to store registration information submitted by well owners and drillers. It contains over 200,000 well records. A second key well data set is also maintained at ADWR. The Groundwater Well Site Inventory (GWSI), is a statewide database that contains well locations, construction, and water level measurements for wells that have actually been located and sampled in the field (originally by the USGS and since 1990 by ADWR). The GWSI database contains over 45,000 well records. Of those, approximately 24,700 have been ‘matched’ to the Wells 55 Registry and therefore have a 'Wells 55 Registry ID'.Purpose and intended use - This data is used by both internal and external customers and is most commonly used to search for registered wells within the State.Data creation methodologies, processing, and quality - The database was originally created in 1980 to store registration information submitted by well owners and drillers. New wells are added as driller logs and reports are received.Data limitations – Please refer to ADWR Data Disclaimer. This data set contains data submitted by well owners and well drillers. Data availability is therefore limited to data provided by the public. The wells mapped to the centroid of the containing Cadastral (normally Quarter-Quarter-Quarter Section). More precise user-submitted locations are not contained in this GIS layer, however they are stored internally and are available to the public upon request for approximately 20% of the wells.Currency – Updated dailyContact – Manager, Groundwater Permitting and Wells, (602)771-8527Use limitations – Please refer to ADWR Data Disclaimer.Attribute information - programADWR program codeREGISTRY_IDUnique identifier for well record in the Wells 55 Registry database.owner_nameThe registered owner of the wellrgr_pump_dataWas water removed before 2008 or was water received in the last yearwelltypeType of wellwell_type_groupWell Type groupdlic_numMost recent driller's license numberapprovedThe earliest date in which drilling was approvedinstalledThe earliest date of well constructionwell_depthThe depth of the well in feetwater_levelThe reported depth to water in feetcasing_depthThe depth of the well's casing in feetcasing_diameterThe diameter of the well's casing in inchescasing_typeThe type of casing usedpump_typeThe type of pump usedpump_powerThe method of how the pump is poweredpumprateThe rated pumping capacity in gallons per minutetestedrateThe tested pumping capacity in gallons per minutedraw_downThe amount of water that pumping has lowered the water level in feetcompletion_report_statusStatus for reporting the completion level of the well (X-Completed, I-Incomplete, A-Abandoned, N-no report required)drill_logThe driller log's received status (X-Completed, I-Incomplete, A-Abandoned, N-no report required)well_cancelledThis indicates if the well was cancelledCadastralCadastral code indicating township, range, section location information.

Background - Irrigation districts are municipal corporations with broad powers and purposes. Districts can purchase or acquire water rights, own or sell property and real estate, construct facilities, generate electricity, appropriate water for irrigation and power generation, tax and charge for services, appropriate money, and provide the district with water, electricity, and other public conveniences and necessities generally provided by municipalities.Purpose and intended use - This data is primarily for internal usage to answer customer inquiries related to their irrigation district. It is also publicly displayed in GIS applications.Data creation methodologies, processing, and quality - Data limitations – Please refer to ADWR Data Disclaimer.Currency – This is a fairly static dataset that is updated as new irrigation districts are created.Contact– AMA GIS Coordinator, Water Planning and Permitting, (602)771-8585Use limitations – Please refer to ADWR Data Disclaimer.Attribute information - IRRIGATION: Combination of irrigation number and certificate numberIRR_NAME: Abbreviation of irrigation district nameLONG_NAME: Irrigation district namePROGRAM: Irrigation district program codeCERTIFICATE: Irrigation district certificate numberCONVEYANCE: Irrigation district conveyance number

Purpose and intended use - This dataset consists of information about subdivisions in Arizona and their various water providers. For general purposes, the list is intended to determine the extent of issued determinations and could be used as a starting point to estimate associated demands with issued determinations in a given area. Please note that the dataset may not necessarily yield an accurate list of committed demands for the purposes of determining physical availability of groundwater in any given area. The users of this information are strongly advised to contact the Office of Assured and Adequate Water Supply for assistance in accurately determining existing and projected water demands in a given area.Data creation methodologies, processing, and quality - This dataset was created based on the township, range, and section information from Arizona Public Land Survey System (PLSS). Tabular data associated with Assured and Adequate Water Supply (AAWS) issued determinations database were joined to individual section boundaries using available geo-processing tools within GIS. This feature class is a dissolved version of feature class LIB.aawsIssuedDeterminationData limitations - Please be aware that much of this database is legacy information and may not reflect the complete record of decision. Some information herein dates back to 1973, which predates the Department’s creation. The information electronically recorded was collected under various statutory and regulatory rule frameworks since the establishment of the Department in 1980. Thus, it is not always reflective of the information needed for the current application process. The source of the database is based on cadastral information and not necessarily the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. While the department continues to correct the database as errors and omissions are detected, the entire dataset has not been fully scrutinized and may contain errors or omissions. ADWR staff continue to work to improve the accuracy of features within this dataset, however ADWR makes no claims regarding the accuracy of the dataset.Currency - This data is synced daily with ADWR’s business database as new determinations are issued.Contact - AAWS Section Manager, Water Planning and Permitting Division, (602)771-8599Use limitations - Please refer to ADWR Data Disclaimer.Attribute information - WATER_PROVIDERTOTAL_DEMANDSYSTEM_NAMESWSUBDIVISIONSUBBASINSHAPE.LENSHAPE.AREASHAPERCVD_DTOBJECTIDNO_OF_LOTSHYDRO_STUDY_AVAILABLEGWISSUED_DTFILESTATUSFILE_TYPEFILE_NOF2ND_PROVIDERF100_YREFFLUENTCOUNTYCOLORADO RIVERCAPAMA

This dataset contains the name and geography ID of all the groundwater basins in Arizona. The purpose of this feature class is to provide service area boundaries for community water systems regulated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources.Use this spatial data to join data tables downloaded from the Arizona EPHT Explorer that has the "Geography" filter set to "PWS Service Areas (Public Water System)". his feature class contains service area polygons for each Community Water System (CWS). To determine the service area, ADWR utilized primary data provided directly from the water system (i.e. PDF, shapefile, verbal definition). If primary data is unavailable, secondary data was utilized to determine service area boundaries (i.e. Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN), Census Designated Place shapefile from U.S Census Bureau.) New water systems are added, and contact information is updated for existing water systems on an annual basis.Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) is a tool to help Arizonans learn about environmental hazards in the state that could impact their health. EPHT was built on the idea that health and environmental problems are not always separate issues with unrelated solutions. EPHT has gathered data from national and local sources in order to view both environmental and health outcome data in one easily accessible place. For example, Arizonans can review air quality information and compare the information with respiratory issues such as asthma. Dataset and web based maps display a variety of topics in the Environmental Public Health Tracking network. For more information about where to download the data tables and how, feel free to visit the Arizona EPHT Explorer or the Environmental Public Health Tracking webpage.

Background: ADWR has three groundwater well data sets for the state of Arizona. The first is the entire database, the 'Wells 55 Registry', which contains all wells registered in the state. The database was created in 1980 to store registration information submitted by well owners and drillers. It contains 200604 well records. The second data set is the Groundwater Well Site Inventory (GWSI), which is a statewide database that contains well locations, construction, and water level measurements for wells that have actually been located and sampled in the field originally by the USGS and since 1990 by ADWR. The GWSI database contains 44239 well records. Of those, 23150 have a 'Wells 55 Registry ID'. The third data set is the 'Wells 35 Registry', which has not been maintained since 1980, when the Wells 55 Registry was created.

The Coconino Plateau Water Demand Web Application is an interactive tool that illustrates water demand within the Coconino Plateau. I created it as a tool for the CPWP and other stakeholders to use to find water demand (in acre-ft/year), surface water sources if applicable, and water use information (municipal, effluent, industrial, or agricultural) for a specific town or place of interest within the Coconino Plateau.Other Information:The dashboard is property of the Coconino Plateau Watershed Partnership and uses data from the ADWR Community Water System Database. I completed this as my capstone project to fulfill the requirements of the masters in GIS with Penn State.
