Water levels below land surface are accurate to 0.01 feet. Water levels
above National American Vertical Datum of 1988 (sea level) are
calculated by subtracting recorded water levels from the land surface
elevation, which is accurate only to plus-or-minus 0.01 foot based on
optical level survey.
Water temperature is accurate to plus-or-minus 0.1°C, and differences in temperature are accurate to 0.1°C.
