Title of Data: Ground Water Level Measurements from Boreholes Near the Site of the Proposed Repository: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Quarters 2006.

Description: Manually and electronically-acquired ground water level measurements from boreholes in the periodic network near Yucca Mountain. The data are reported as elevation of the water table above mean sea level (MSL)and/or as depth-to-the-water table (DTW).

Data Type: Q - Acquired    QA Program: OCRWM QARD-based NSHE QA Program

Parameters:

  • Water Table Altitude (359)
  • Depth-to-water (5571)
  • Potentiometric Surface (1537)

    Keywords: Ground water level

    These data supersede data identified by: N/A

    These data have been superseded by: N/A

    Comments: Manually-acquired data were taken once per quarter; electronically-acquired data were usually acquired once per hour (intervals may vary, check data headers). The electronically acquired data is intended to provide long periods (months) of uninterrupted water level elevation measurements for synoptic study and comparative analyses with other boreholes; such measurements are not intended to be continuous/unbroken for the entire calendar year. Manual measurements are summarized in one MS Excel file containing four worksheets, one for each quarter of CY 2006. Electronic measurements are contained in directories identified by borehole name and are presented as MS Excel files containing one or more worksheets as date-bracketed measurement sets. See "Readme.doc" enclosed with data for further explanation.
