USGS Groundwater Well Dates Back to 1874 (NWIS Site 430429089230301)
The first USGS groundwater level measurement recorded in this well is from 1874! The well was originally a flowing artesian well that was used as an active water supply. Routine monitoring began in 1946.

USGS scientists drive a hole for groundwater well
A team of 4 USGS scientists drive a hole for installation of a shallow groundwater well. These wells help scientists understand the exchange of groundwater and surface water in the Delaware River Basin.

USGS scientists installed a thermal imaging camera on a streamgage
USGS scientists installed a thermal imaging camera on a current USGS streamgage on the Neversink River near Claryville, New York. This equipment will help monitor surface water temperatures and can help understand the amount of groundwater contributing to surface runoff.
