This data release contains five comma separated value (csv) files that describe the location and water-quality data for wells, springs, and streams compiled for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) investigation of the groundwater resources of the Harney Basin, Oregon. The data included are site IDs, various site location information, well-construction details and hydrostratigraphy, monitoring status, spring elevation, summarized historic spring discharge, date of each spring discharge measurement, source of the discharge measurement, and results of geochemical analyses for sites sampled as part of the associated USGS Scientific Investigations Report. Some of the data presented here references sections of the the larger work which can be found here: Gingerich, S.B, Johnson, H.M., Boschmann, D.E., Grondin, G.H., and Garcia, C.A, 2021, Groundwater Resources of the Harney Basin, Oregon: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report XXXX, xx p, https://doi.org/10.3133/sirxxxx.

Groundwater resources of the Harney Basin, southeastern Oregon
Groundwater development has increased substantially in southeastern Oregon’s Harney Basin since 2010, mainly for the purpose of large-scale irrigation. Concurrently, some areas of the basin experienced groundwater-level declines of more than 100 feet, and some shallow wells have gone dry. The Oregon Water Resources Department has limited new groundwater development in the basin until an improved u

Groundwater resources of the Harney Basin, southeastern Oregon
In response to increasing groundwater demand and declining groundwater levels in the Harney Basin of southeastern Oregon, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Oregon Water Resources Department conducted a cooperative groundwater-availability study during 2016–22. This Fact Sheet summarizes the results of this study. Full details of the study are provided in Gingerich and others (2022a, 2022b), GarciAuthorsStephen B. Gingerich, C. Amanda Garcia, Henry M.
