Datasets
What sells is not the snapshot, it is the stream. A surface republished overwrites its own past; we keep it.
The pages of this site are free and will stay free : an official fact belongs to no one. What is sold here is the compilation work — extracting the Kansas water-table surface, reconciling it, dating it, and delivering it in a usable form.
⚠️ What we add, and what we merely copy
The Survey's layer is free and you can download it yourself. What you cannot download is the join. The table below marks with a ⚠️ every column the source does not contain, and every fill rate is measured on the file we hold, not estimated.
| Field | Description | Filled |
|---|---|---|
trs | The township-range-section code — the key | 100.0 % |
township / range / section | Split out of that code | 100.0 % |
predev_dtw | Depth to water before the aquifer was developed, feet below ground | 82.8 % |
dtw_2022_2024 | Depth to water in 2022–2024 | 87.7 % |
change | ⚠️ ⚠️ The difference between the two, computed, flagged where either side is floored at 0.0 ft | 78.0 % |
county | ⚠️ ⚠️ Majority county of the wells filed in the same township-range — the layer carries no county at all | 66.7 % |
region | ⚠️ ⚠️ Our grouping of range numbers, west to east | 100.0 % |
wells | ⚠️ ⚠️ Count of WWC-5 completion records in the same township-range | 66.7 % |
drillers | ⚠️ ⚠️ Named drillers, with wells filed, years active, median depth reached and median water level measured on arrival | 66.7 % |
purposes | ⚠️ ⚠️ What the wells were sunk for, and how deep each purpose went | 66.7 % |
The 6 fields marked ⚠️ do not exist in the source : we add them — a join, a normalisation, or a reconstructed history. That is the part a buyer cannot reproduce by downloading the official file.
What it costs
- Change feed — USD 250 / monthOr USD 2 500 a year. At every collection, what came in, went out or changed since the previous one. This is the part that does not age.
- One slice — USD 70 / monthThe feed restricted to a single county, for those who do not need the rest.
- Full snapshot — USD 3 300, onceThe state of the register on the day of delivery, every field included. Listed last on purpose : a snapshot ages.
