Compiled data for groundwater levels, groundwater withdrawals by wells and quarries, and point-source discharges to streams in the vicinity of Willow Grove and Warminster, Bucks and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania, for selected years during 1999-2017

February 25, 2020

This USGS Data Release includes hydrologic data compiled for selected years during the period 1990-2017 to support the development and calibration of a numerical groundwater model used to simulate groundwater flow paths at and near former and currently active military bases in Montgomery and Bucks Counties in southeastern Pennsylvania (Goode and Senior, 2020). The hydrologic data compiled for the study area include: 1) withdrawal (pumping) rates for production and other wells; 2) quarry pumping rates; 3) rates of flow discharged to streams from the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) sources, and 4) measured water levels in wells. The data were compiled from various sources described in the metadata for each type of data, with complete references for data sources listed in (Goode and Senior, 2020). Withdrawal (pumping) and discharge rates in the data release represent annual average rates computed as needed from data compiled from various sources. The principal time periods for compiled data include 1990's, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2017. Some values are estimated where data were missing or not available.
