Ground Water Conditions in Minnesota

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ground-water network for Minnesota currently consists of 103 wells in which ground-water levels are continuously monitored. Many of the wells are located in the eastern part of the State around the Twin Cities metro area. There is also a group in the north-western part of the State between Bemidji and Grand Forks. Some of the wells in the network transmit data "real time" on a 4-hour basis using satellite telemetry. Other wells in the network record data at the wellhead and are retrieved on a 6-week basis ("continuous" wells).
