A code indicating the status of the site at the time the water level was measured. If the water level measured represents a static level, this field is blank.

CodeDescription
A Water level was affected by atmospheric pressure.
B Water level was affected by tide stage.
C Water level was affected by ice.
D The site was dry (no water level is recorded).
E The site was flowing recently.
F The site was flowing. Water level or head could not be measured without additional equipment.
G A nearby site that taps the same aquifer was flowing.
H A nearby site that taps the same aquifer had been flowing recently.
I Recharge water was being injected into the aquifer at the site.
J A nearby site that taps the same aquifer was injecting recharge water.
K Water was cascading down the inside of the well.
L Brackish Saline Water level was affected by brackish or saline water.
M Well was plugged and not in hydraulic contact with formation.
N The measurement was discontinued.
O An obstruction was encountered in the well (no water level was recorded).
P The site was being pumped.

S A nearby site that taps the same aquifer was being pumped.
T A nearby site that taps the same aquifer had been pumped recently.
V A foreign substance was present on the surface of the water.
