The DWR Periodic Groundwater Levels dataset contains seasonal and long-term groundwater level measurements collected by the Department of Water Resources and cooperating agencies in groundwater basins statewide. It also includes data collected through the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Portal’s Monitoring Network Module (MNM), and the CASGEM (California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring) Program. Most measurements are taken manually twice per year to capture the peak high and low values in groundwater elevations. However, the dataset also includes measurements recorded more frequently, monthly, weekly, or daily. This resource also included daily measurements from DWR's automated monitoring network of groundwater sites. For DWRs holdings of groundwater level measurements recorded at more frequent intervals (e.g., hourly), please refer to DWR's “Continuous Groundwater Level Measurements” dataset. For additional information regarding DWR groundwater levels data collection please visit DWR's Groundwater Management website (https://www.water.ca.gov/Programs/Groundwater-Management). The source data can also be accessed directly from two websites. The Water Data Library (http://wdl.water.ca.gov) provides anonymous access to this and other data sets. The CASGEM online system (https://www.casgem.water.ca.gov/OSS) provides authenticated access to only the the periodic groundwater measurements. This dataset is maintained primarily in the DWR Enterprise Water Management database and contains information specific to the location of groundwater level monitoring wells and groundwater level measurements collected at these wells. The Stations resource identifies well location coordinates and other supplementary items about the well type. Measurements resources includes information about the time/date a measurement was collected, the entity collecting the measurement, a measurement indicating the depth to groundwater, and quality information about the measurement. The Well Perforations resources contains well construction information identifying the well's screened intervals (not available for all wells).

This digital dataset contains historical geochemical and other information for 100 samples of groundwater from 71 wells located within 3 miles of the Poso Creek Oil Field in Kern County, California. An additional 12 wells in the Poso Creek study area, but co-located within 3 miles of the adjacent Rosedale and Rosedale Ranch Oil Fields, were not included in this data release; these data are planned for a future data release associated with those fields. The sampled wells include water-supply wells used primarily for domestic, irrigation, and industrial uses. Numerical water chemistry data were compiled from two data sources: 1) Kern County Public Health Services Department (KCPHSD) PDF (Portable Document Format) files, and 2) the Eastside Water Management Area (EWMA) Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Chapter. These data sources include varying _location and well-construction information. Locations for most of the wells represent either well-specific coordinates provided in the KCPHSD PDFs, approximate locations determined using ArcGIS (GIS, Geographic Information System) software based on descriptive information or _location maps in the KCPHSD PDFs, parcel centroid coordinates determined from a GIS parcel shapefile (KERN PARCEL) based on parcel numbers provided by either the KCPHSD or EWMA data source, or approximate locations from Google Earth based on visual identification of well locations. For two wells (Dataset_IDs 1 and 2) coordinates represent the locations provided by the California Department of Water Resources Water Data Library (CDWR WDL) as those particular wells are located in that database in association with water-level measurement data. For three wells (Dataset_IDs 22, 30, and 42) having limited information, locations represent meridian, township, range, section, and quarter-quarter section (MTRSQQ) centroids. Information on well construction was compiled from California Department of Water Resources Well Completion Reports (CDWR-WCR) included with the PDFs located on the KCPHSD website, or located on the CDWR Well Completion Reports Map Application website. Well construction from CDWR-WCRs was available for 53 of the 71 wells. For one well (Dataset_ID 5), a WCR could not be located, however, well construction information was available in the EWMA GSP. Data were manually compiled into two separate files described as follows: 1) a summary data file that includes well identifiers, _location, construction, the number of chemistry samples, the period of record, specific sample dates for each site, and an inventory of which constituent groups were sampled on each date; and 2) a data file of geochemistry analyses for selected constituents classified into one of the following groups: water-quality indicators, major and minor ions, nutrients, trace elements, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Ion (charge) balance calculations and percent error of these calculations were included for samples having a complete suite of major ion analyses. Parameter code, analytical method, reporting level, reporting level type, and supplemental notes were included where available or pertinent. A data dictionary was created to describe the geochemistry data file and is provided with this data release.

This geospatial data set represents about 2,500 locations of boreholes, shafts, tunnels, and drifts on and around the Nevada Test Site (NTS) where rock-samples have been collected.

Much of the world’s data are stored, managed, and distributed by data centers. Data centers re-quire a tremendous amount of energy to operate, accounting for around 1.8% of electricity use in the United States. Large amounts of water are also required to operate data centers, both directly for liquid cooling and indirectly to produce electricity. For the first time, we calculate spatially-detailed carbon and water footprints of data centers operating within the United States, which is home to around one-quarter of all data center servers globally. Our bottom-up approach reveals one-fifth of data center servers direct water footprint comes from moderately to highly water stressed watersheds, while nearly half of servers are fully or partially powered by power plants located within water stressed regions. Approximately 0.5% of total US greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to data centers. We investigate tradeoffs and synergies between data center’s water and energy utilization by strategically locating data centers in areas of the country that will minimize one or more environmental footprints. Our study quantifies the environmental implications behind our data creation and storage and shows a path to decrease the environmental footprint of our increasing digital footprint..

Dataset History

This dialogue has been copied from a draft of the BA-GIP report.

A total of 197 river gauges were identified within the model area representing all of the major rivers. Daily gauge level data was sourced from the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Water Measurement Information System (WMIS, 2015). A list of the river gauges is provided in the report for key river basins

Only main stems of the major rivers were included in the model. These river reaches were identified using the DEPI hydro25 spatial data set (DEPI, 2014). The river classification was used to vary river incision depth (depth below the ground surface as defined by the digital elevation model) and width attributes. In the absence of recorded stage height information, river classification was used to estimate river stage heights. A total of 22,573 river cells are included in the model. Fifty-one gauges were selected to calibrate the catchment modelling framework in unregulated catchments based on Base Flow Indexes and observed stream flows.

Drainage channels and man-made drainage features in the Macalister Irrigation District (MID) were included in the model based on available drainage network mapping. This information was sourced from Southern Rural Water (SRW) and the DEPI Corporate Spatial Data library. Drainage cells are assigned to the uppermost cells within the model to capture groundwater discharge processes. Drain cells in Modflow can only act as groundwater discharge points and as such those cells outside drainage channels will be characterised as having a bed elevation equivalent to ground surface elevation. A total of 410,504 drainage cells are incorporated in the model. Apart from 3 river gauges sourced from the WMIS, SRW also has 15 gauges monitored drainage from the MID. The measurements commenced between 1997 and 2005. Of the 15 gauges, six were selected to calibrate the catchment modelling framework based on observed discharge.
