Click to hide Water-Year Summary instructions and information
  • Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
  • For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
  • For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
  • For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
  • Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
384637075153201 Ng45-02
Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system
Beaverdam Sand
LOCATION - Lat 38°46'37.4", long 75°15'31.9" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Sussex County, DE, Hydrologic Unit 02040207, near Milton.
GROUNDWATER RECORDS
WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 22 ft. Upper casing diameter 2 in; top of first opening 19 ft, bottom of last opening 22 ft.
DATUM - Land-surface datum is 16 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Measuring point: Top of pvc inside protective metal casing, 3.55 ft above land-surface datum, Sep. 16, 2002 to present.
PERIOD OF RECORD - September 2002 to current year.
GAGE -
  • Water Year 2020: Records good.
  • Water Year 2019: Records good.
  • Water Year 2018: Records good.
  • Water Year 2017: Records good.
  • Water Years 2014-2016: Records good.

    • Water-level measurements by U.S. Geological Survey personnel. Equipped with digital water-level recorder from February 2014 to current year. U.S. Geological Survey satellite data-collection platform at well. Missing data due to instrument or platform malfunction, site visits, and water quality sampling.
    REMARKS - Water levels are affected by intermittent pumping intervals for water quality collection at well.
    EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Highest water-level measured, 5.87 feet below land surface (recorder), October 11, 2016; lowest measured, 12.27 feet below land surface, September 16, 2015 (value recorded during pumping interval).
    CLIMATOLOGICAL RECORDS
    PERIOD OF RECORD - March 2015 to August 2020 (discontinued).
    INSTRUMENTATION - Weighing cell precipitation gage.
    EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum daily precipitation, 9.31 in., September 29, 2016.
    REMARKS - Gaps in record indicate missing or erroneous data. Records estimated as zero are based on confirmation with nearby U.S. Geological Survey and National Weather Service sites that zero precipitation occurred on those days. U.S. Geological Survey water-data telemeter at station.

    Selected precipitation unit values were removed from the record between April 2018 and July 2019 due to precision reported by the instrument.  Computation of daily totals on those days was unaffected.

    WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
    WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 22 ft. Upper casing diameter 2 in; top of first opening 19 ft, bottom of last opening 22 ft.
