Abstract

This database was created as a resource for karst researchers looking for data on karst spring and wells in carbonate rock. Many databases are difficult to discover and we identified state databases as a potential resource that could encourage cross site collaboration and complement USGS databases. We requested information from state agencies related to water resources on the following: relevant agency, data types (discharge, water quality), sample types (wells, springs), mapping, and file types (including whether there is a REST interface that allows data scraping). We obtained information on 43 states plus Puerto Rico, which 17 states having no information (or referring people to the USGS database).

People who would like to contribute additional information or updates to the database can contact ltoran@temple.edu or contribute to: the Hydroshare document: Toran, L. (2024).
