Groundwater Observation Well Network. The Nova Scotia Groundwater Observation Well Network was established in 1965 to monitor groundwater levels across the province. There are over 250 observation wells throughout the province with 40 sites transmitting their data in real-time. The wells are visited approximately every six months for field verification and water samples are collected periodically to test groundwater chemistry. There are 220 PGOWN monitoring stations distributed across the province.
View both active and inactive observation wells throughout the province. A series of observation wells coupled with a selection of abstraction wells normally comprise a monitoring network designed to. The Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network program collects interprets and reports information about groundwater quantity and chemistry. A groundwater network is a set of wells at which water levels are routinely measured. In particular we gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the many property owners with observation wells located on th eir properties. 219 observation wells provide data from various developed aquifers in BC.
The British Columbia BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy operates the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network PGOWN which collects interprets and reports information about groundwater quantity and chemistry in the Province.
The aquifer is an unconsolidated sand deposit that lies in a buried bedrock valley and is as much as 150 feet thick. A series of observation wells coupled with a selection of abstraction wells normally comprise a monitoring network designed to. The results are displayed in the Groundwater Observation Well Network. Groundwater Observation Well Network Information Currently groundwater level information is being collected from six bedrock wells located in different bedrock lithologies across Orange County. This interactive map provides access to groundwater level data collected from the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network. Their continued participation in the program is vital to the success of the network.
