11) Groundwater-level change for Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada, 2007-2020, approach 2
Description
This raster dataset represents groundwater-level change from 2007 to 2020 in Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada, calculated using approach 2. For this approach, depth-to-water measurements from 53 monitoring wells, represented as point values, were differenced between 2006 and 2020. Point values of change were interpolated into a raster to calculate valley-wide groundwater-level change. Groundwater-level change was estimated using two methods (approach 1 and 2) to address groundwater-level measurement uncertainty and constrain groundwater-level change estimates.
