This repository contains R code that calculates long-term trends in groundwater levels. It supports an indicator published on Environmental Reporting BC.
The scripts use the bcgroundwater R package and groundwater monitoring data from the B.C. Observation Well Network to:
- analyze long-term trends of groundwater levels
- produce provincial-scale and individual well summary statistics
- generate supporting data visualizations
All the data sourced for the analysis is provided under the Open Government Licence – British Columbia.
- Groundwater level monitoring data are downloaded from the
B.C. Data Catalogue via the
bcgroundwaterR package - Groundwater well attribute data are downloaded directly from the B.C. Data Catalogue
- Natural Resource Regions used in the summaries are sourced from the
bcmapsR package
There are four core scripts that are required for the analysis, they need to be run in order:
- 01_clean.R
- 02_analysis.R
- 03_visualize.R
- 04_output.R
The app/ folder contains code to launch a shinyapp for an interactive data visualization found on the indicator website.
