Table 12. Shallow wells installed and measured during study, Ash Meadows area, Nevada

Well name: Names listed in alphabetical order. All CS wells installed and measured by U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.

U.S. Geological Survey site identification number: A unique 15-digit number based on a latitude-longitude grid. The first six digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude, the next seven digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of longitude, and the last two digits denote a unique sequence number within a 1-second grid of latitude and longitude.

Local site number: Alphanumeric identifier based on location of site within hydrographic areas and rectangular subdivisions of public lands.

Land-surface altitude: Datum is sea level. Altitudes are reported to nearest foot and were estimated from U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps.

Well depth: Datum is land surface. Well depths sounded by U.S. Geological Survey personnel.

Top of open interval: Depth below land surface of uppermost well opening.

Bottom of open interval: Depth below land surface of lowermost well opening.

Type of open interval: P, perforated or slotted casing.

ET (evapotranspiration) unit: DGV, dense grassland vegetation; DMV, dense meadow vegetation; DWV, dense wetland vegetation; MBS moist bare soil; OWB, open-water body; SAV, submerged aquatic vegetation; SGV, sparse grassland vegetation; nd UCL, unclassified. See table 3 for more detail on ET units.

Nearby hydrographic feature: Hydrographic feature in vicinity of site that holds or transports surface water and may affect the measured water level. Double dash indicates no nearby feature.
