Groundwater-level data in support of groundwater- and surface-water-interactions report—Groundwater and Surface-Water Interactions in the Lower Duwamish Waterway, Seattle, Washington
Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), conducted a study to describe the current understanding of the regional groundwater system of the lower Duwamish River valley and groundwater and surface-water interactions in the lower Duwamish Waterway. A nearshore site along the western shoreline of the Duwamish River, about 1.5 mi upstream from the river mouth, was selected for focused groundwater data collection by USGS. Data loggers were deployed in seven groundwater wells and one stilling well in the Duwamish River to measure specific conductance, temperature, and depth at 15-minute intervals for a period of about 2 years.This data release contains data supporting the larger work: (1) groundwater-level data used to generate a regional potentiometric-surface map, and (2) bathymetry data collected for a 3-acre embayment adjacent to the primary site of groundwater data collection for the study.
