The USGS Active Groundwater Level Network includes about 20,000 wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 13 months. The animation shows snapshots of water-level statistics in the network during Octobers 2021.

In this photo, USGS scientist Martha Nielsen conducts a slug test in a groundwater well completed in bedrock. During a slug test, a hydrologist causes the water level in a well to increase or decrease rapidly, while measuring the water-level response in the well over time.
