Abstract:
Depth to groundwater has been monitored since 1991 in Watershed 9 (W-9) of the Sleepers River Research Watershed (SRRW) in Vermont, with measurements made at many different locations. This data publication includes monthly water levels that are manually measured (1991-2018), daily and breakpoint water levels (1993-2009), and 30-minute water level data (2002-2004). There is a network of 39 wells, 3 recording wells, and 6 piezometers wells throughout W-9. Monthly (sometimes more frequent) water table elevation data have been measured in 48 different wells or piezometers since 1991. Daily data are reported for three positions (toeslope, mid hillslope, and upper hillslope) along a transect in the W-9B catchment (a sub-basin of W-9) since 1992. The 30-minute data are reported for 18 various wells in the W-9 catchment, but only for a relative short duration from 2002 to 2004 when measured during a particular study.
