Spreadsheets of Tooele, Parowan, and Goshen Valley historical power consumption coefficients for active irrigation wells as of 2016 measured by U.S. Geological Survey, Utah Water Science Center, hydrologic technicians. The power consumption coefficients included in this data release were transcribed from paper format to electronic format. The coefficient of variation is included in this data set for wells with more than three historical power consumption coefficients. The 2016 power usage for each well is included and was provided by the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights. The Goshen Valley data set also includes annual groundwater withdrawal for active irrigation wells as of 2016; this data was reported by the well owner.

Development of a method to identify complex wells and assess the accuracy of basin withdrawals in Utah
Power consumption coefficients (PCCs) and dedicated flowmeter records for irrigation wells in three Utah groundwater basins were analyzed to develop a method to better characterize the accuracy of annual groundwater withdrawal estimates. The PCC method has been used by the U.S. Geological Survey in Utah since 1963 as a way to estimate groundwater withdrawal. As a result, most irrigation wells in U - Connect
