U.S. Geological Survey National Groundwater Climate Response Network
What is the U.S. Geological Survey National Groundwater Climate Response Network? The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Water Monitoring Network is a network of networks that includes the Climate Response Network (CRN). The CRN is a network of wells selected to monitor the effects of climate variability, including droughts, on groundwater systems within the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The primary purpose of the CRN is to monitor these effects on groundwater levels in unconfined or near-surface confined aquifers that are minimally affected by pumping or other human-induced stresses.
