Description During 2016, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) entered into a cooperative agreement with USGS to become a data provider to the National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGWMN). The goal of the NGWMN is to establish a national long-term groundwater quantity and quality monitoring network of principal aquifers by using existing federal, state, and local groundwater monitoring programs.

During 2018, Ecology received funding from USGS to install 13 long-term groundwater monitoring wells in selected areas of western Washington in order to measure water levels and groundwater quality. Ecology plans to install the wells in three geographic areas of western Washington: seven in Whatcom County, three on the Olympic Peninsula, and three in southwest Washington.

Data from these wells are intended to provide seasonal and long-term trends that will be used to identify evolving water supply issues and assist water managers in preserving available water resources.
