About this Tool
Clicking on an observation well location will generate a pop-up box enabling the user to scroll through the monitoring wells at that location. Water-level observations can be obtained with a link to the NWIS site for each individual observation well. The table of contents can be used to show or hide wells screened in each of the Eastern Shore aquifers.
At any location, the depth of the screen in an observation well determines the aquifer for which a water level is being measured (illustration). At some locations, State Observation Well (SOW) research stations with multiple adjacent monitoring wells screened at different depths are used to simultaneously measure water levels in various aquifers. A table with detailed information for all monitoring wells can be viewed using the tab at the bottom of this page.
