Jasechko et al. 2024 water table depth dataset, subset to the CONUS2 domain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A subset of the annual median water table depth measurements for sites included in `Jasechko et al. 2024 <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06879-8>`_. These sites are subset to only those within the `CONUS2 <https://hydroframe.org/parflow-conus2>`_ boundary, and only includes data that the authors were approved to publicly release. 


**Dataset Name**: jasechko_2024

**Data Source**: jasechko_2024

**Data Collection or Processing Notes:**

    Details on the initial data processing and collection are provided in `Jasechko et al. 2024 <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06879-8>`_. The data provided here was acquired from https://zenodo.org/records/10003697. Data was filtered to the CONUS2 domain and all sites were also mapped to the Natural Earth state boundary shapefiles to include each site's state, where this mapping was unambiguous.

    All sites were compared to existing USGS well records. If a site was within 0.001 degree latitude/longitude of an existing well, the site is flagged as being a usgs_site.

    Notes:

    - The data included here is only a subset of the data in the original paper as not all data was made publicly available. 

     

    - The data included in this dataset are a static entry matching only what was in the publication. For up to date groundwater records refer to the USGS well dataset which is updated regularly with the most recent observations.
