Water level elevation data for monitoring wells and surface water gages at the Colorado State University Mountain Campus, 2019 – 2023

This dataset contains groundwater and surface water levels measured between 2019 and 2023 at the Colorado State University Mountain Campus. The study site is situated within a formerly glaciated valley traversed by a modern perennial stream, the South Fork Cache la Poudre River, and occurs near the subalpine-montane ecosystem transition at an approximate elevation of 2,750 meters above sea level. Water levels were measured at two transects (the upstream and downstream transects). Each transect includes a surface water gage, two shallow hand-augered monitoring wells on the valley floor within the riparian zone, and a deeper water table observation well located on the adjacent terrace. Water levels were measured at a subhourly frequency using a combination of vented and non-vented pressure transducers. All data from non-vented transducers were corrected for barometric pressure fluctuations., See README file, , This dataset includes the following primary data files with water level elevations for eight locations during the monitoring period:
S1.csv, R1a.csv, R1b.csv, MW1.csv, S2.csv, R2a.csv, R2b.csv, MW2.csv

Description of locations:
S1 -- Upstream surface water gage.
R1a -- Upstream riparian well near stream.
R1b -- Upstream riparian well further from stream.
MW1 -- Upstream water table observation well.
S2 -- Downstream surface water gage.
R2a -- Downstream riparian well near stream.
R2b -- Downstream riparian well further from stream.
MW2 -- Downstream water table observation well.

Description of columns in each csv file:
Column 1 -- Date and time (Mountain Time Zone)
Column 2 -- Water temperature (degrees C)
Column 3 -- Water level elevation (meters above mean sea level)
Column 4 -- Data collection period (see corresponding date range in the file 'MtnCampus Data Collection Periods.xlsx')
