Summary

This data release contains groundwater-quality data for three parameters of interest (arsenic, manganese, and pH) and well information for sample sites for aquifers in the conterminous U.S. Water-quality data and well information were derived from a dataset compiled from three sources: the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System (NWIS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), and numerous agencies and organizations at the state, regional, and local level. The data compilation of the National Water Quality Program’s groundwater assessment team is an internal dataset informally referred to as the National Groundwater Aggregation (NGA). The current study [...]
