Historic (pre-2007) gage-height data may contain erroneous values, such as pressure sensors encased in ice, even if they are flagged as approved. These data are made available to the public, but data users are cautioned to carefully screen the data and contact the USGS Kansas Water Science Center if they have questions or concerns about specific values.

Groundwater site type

• C - Collector or Ranney type well.
• D - Drain dug to intercept the water table or potentiometric surface to either lower the groundwater level or serve as a water supply.
• E - Excavation.
• H - Sinkhole.
• I - Interconnected wells, also called connector or drainage wells; that is, a well interconnected via an underground lateral.
• M - Multiple wells. Use only for well field consisting of a group of wells that are pumped through a single header and for which little or no data about the individual wells are available.
• O - Outcrop.
• P - Pond dug to intercept the water table or potentiometric surface.
• S - Spring (used only on spring schedule).
• T - Tunnel, shaft, or mine from which groundwater is obtained.
• W - Well, for single wells other than wells of the collector or Ranney type.
• X - Test hole, not completed as a well.
