Groundwater levels are basic information needed for evaluating water conditions and for basic and applied research. For these efforts, DGS maintains and operates a network of monitoring wells for observations of groundwater levels and groundwater quality in all of the aquifers used for water supply in Delaware.
Data accessible on this page are a subset of DGS holdings and are updated quarterly. This dataset contains summary data from wells having 100 or more water level observations or were in operation for 20 years or longer. A CSV file can be downloaded from this page, and the link below provides an interactive application to easily filter and sort the data as well as view hydrographs and a map of all wells.
For most of the wells water levels were measured in monitoring or observation wells by staff members of the DGS and USGS. For a few wells water levels were measured by employees of consulting firms, government agencies, and other University of Delaware researchers. Users should be aware that these data records have been checked by DGS staff, however they are subject to revision. If you have questions or require additional information about the wells or measurements, please contact the DGS through the address at the bottom of this page.
