Surface- and Ground Water Characteristics in the Upper Truckee River and Trout Creek Watersheds


Table 5. Selected characteristics of ground-water monitoring sites in Upper Truckee River and Trout Creek watersheds, California and Nevada, July-November 1996

Land-surface altitude uncertainties: ±0.1 foot, altitudes determined from surveying techniques; ±6, 10, and 20 feet, altitudes determined from map with uncertainty being + or - one-half topographic contour interval. Topographic contour interval for this region is 40 feet for altitudes greater than 6,280 feet with a supplementary contour interval of 20 feet for altitudes less than 6,280 feet, and using a Lake Tahoe altitude of 6,228 feet. Contour interval for altitudes less than 6,240 feet is 12 feet.
Site status
: D, dry well; F, flowing well, but head was not measured; P, well being pumped; R, well pumped recently; S, site is a spring, water level is at land surface; Z, unable to access for water level measurement. If no status indicated, reported water level measurement represents static level. Water level may represent local conditions only.
Method:
S, steel tape; T, electric tape; O, observed in field.
[Symbols: --, unknown;
<, less than; >, greater than]

1 Sites are identified by standard U.S. Geological Survey identification number, which is a unique number based on grid system of latitude and longitude of the site. Number consists of 15 digits: First six denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude; next seven denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of longitude; and last two digits (assigned sequentially) identify sites within 1-second grid. For example, site 385816119563001 refers to 38° 58' 16" latitude and 119° 56' 30" longitude, and is first site recorded in that 1-second grid. If more precise latitude and longitude subsequently are determined, initial site-identification number is retained.

2 Locations are assigned using a grid system referenced to Mount Diablo base line and meridian for official rectangular subdivision of public lands. Location consists of four units: First unit is the hydrographic area number (Rush, 1968), Second unit is township, preceded by N or S to indicate location north or south of base line. Third unit is range, preceded by E to indicate location east of meridian. Fourth unit consists of section number and letters designating quarter section, quarter-quarter section, and so on (A, B, C, and D indicate northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast quarters, respectively), followed by number indicating sequence in which site was recorded. For example, well 90 N11 E18 21BDBB1 is in the Lake Tahoe Basin (hydrographic area 90). It is the first site recorded in the northwest quarter (B) of the northwest quarter (B) of the southeast quarter (D) of the northwest quarter (B) of section 21, Township 11 North, Range 18 East, Mount Diablo base line and meridian.

3 Ground-water-quality sites used in this study.

4 Water levels in parenthesis are pumping levels and probably do not represent static water level. Pumping levels were used as a lower boundary for static water level on plate 1.
