Groundwater Levels, Precipitation, and Soil Moisture Data from DE 723 Delaware County Observation Well, Delaware County, Pennsylvania (2022-2024)

As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) efforts in the Delaware River Basin (DRB), a soil moisture sensing testbed was established at USGS Delaware County Observation Well - DE 723 located in a managed meadow setting in Glen Mills, PA. Traditional in situ soil moisture sensors, a remote sensing cosmic ray neutron sensor (CRNS), and various meteorological sensors were installed to supplement the existing continuous groundwater level time series. This data release includes soil moisture, soil temperature, and precipitation time-series data collected at DE 723 from 1) in situ sensors for measuring soil moisture and soil temperature at varying depths from 5 cm to 100 cm located at four sub-locations (referred to as "pods") in proximity to DE 723 (three remote pods consisting of 3 profiles each and one pod with a single profile co-located at the well); 2) a pressure transducer for measuring groundwater levels from DE 723 (also available on the National Water Information System [NWIS] web at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/395512075293701); 3) a weighing bucket rain gage for measuring precipitation at DE 723; and 4) a cosmic ray neutron sensor (CRNS) for measuring proximal field-scale soil moisture. Data from each pod (4 locations), the CRNS (1 location), and the well (1 location) are presented in separate text/csv files (6 total). All time-series data is reported in 30-minute intervals from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2024.
