USGS Receives Funds for Monitoring Network
As part of the FY 15 CROmnibus funding package, ASDWA has learned that funding has also been made available for a US Geological Survey initiative to sustain data collection efforts. The National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGWMN) is funded at $2,600,000. Appropriations language calls on the Survey to provide cost-share grants to states in the form of cooperative agreements to upgrade monitoring networks to national standards and to incorporate wells into the network.
