  name: Department of Interior aquifer-codes API
  description: Local aquifers in USGS data are identified by an aquifer name and geohydrologic unit code (a three-digit number
    related to the age of the formation, followed by a 4 or 5 character abbreviation for the geologic unit or aquifer name).
    For the age of formation (aquifer age), generally the smaller the number represents the younger the geohydrologic unit.
    Aquifer names and the definition of an aquifer can be very subjective. One rock unit may be called different aquifer names
    by different people. Local aquifers and layered aquifers are often grouped into larger named regional aquifers or aquifer
    systems. For example, the National Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system (National aquifer) consists of five
    layered regional aquifers. Each regional aquifer is divided into two or more aquifers which may have a different name
    in each of the states in which the aquifer is found.

  description: This endpoint provides the most recent observation for each time series of continuous data. Continuous data
    are collected via automated sensors installed at a monitoring location. They are collected at a high frequency and often
    at a fixed 15-minute interval. Depending on the specific monitoring location, the data may be transmitted automatically
    via telemetry and be available on WDFN within minutes of collection, while other times the delivery of data may be delayed
    if the monitoring location does not have the capacity to automatically transmit data. Continuous data are described by
    parameter name and parameter code. These data might also be referred to as "instantaneous values" or "IV"

    With improved availability of computer storage and automated transmission of data, the daily data published today are
    generally a statistical summary or metric of the continuous data collected each day, such as the daily mean, minimum,
    or maximum value. Daily data are automatically calculated from the continuous data of the same parameter code and are
    described by parameter code and a statistic code. These data have also been referred to as “daily values” or “DV”.
